Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

***

“Three on the trot is a good result for the Seddon-Yarraville Club. Last weekend the Dons added a
top scalp to their belt in the previously undefeated Parkside team.

In an unusual game, Parkside jumped a lethargic Seddon-Yarraville Club to go to a four-goal lead at
quarter-time.

The slow start must be a worry to the Dons’ coach. It has happened a few times this season.

But for the rest of the match the Dons outmuscled and kicked long to position to record a solid win
by 18 points.

It was not the Magpies’ day. They were outplayed and still had their chances but could not take
them.

Michael O’Keefe battled hard all day, as he usually does, to be the Magpies’ best. Dean Callaway,
George Messis, Michael Cammerino and Craig Brown- Kerr, also contributed to the Magpies’ cause.”

“Parkside, from the first bounce, proved too strong and fast for a disappointing Hoppers Crossing, to
win by 77 points.

Best for the Magpies were Harold Kelly (six goals), Michael O’Keefe, Craig Brown-Kerr, Cory
Klaaysen, Paul Burgess and Michael Cammerino.”

“Parkside, on their ground proved too accomplished for Albion, winning by 57 points.

This game was an even contest to half-time. Then Parkside went into overdrive, kicking nine goals to
four for a good victory.

Best players for the Magpies were Michael Cammerino, John Cuzzupe, Ali Taleb, Michael O’Keefe
and Chad Badaoni.”

“Meanwhile FDFL general manager Russell Murphy reports that Altona are outright ladder leaders
after pipping Parkside by seven points in front of a big crowd at the Turner Reserve in Footscray.
