Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
Spotswood downed Parkside by 56 points in the upset of round 16 of the FDFL forcing Parkside from
third to fourth spot on the ladder.
"Spotswood won the Sunday game by 56 points in an upset result to keep the vital fifth place.
The Woodsmen are only in the five by two points, but in this topsy-turvy season anything could
happen.
The defeat has caused problems in the Parkside camp, now two points behind Port Colts - and the
double chance.
Best for Spotswood: Tobin, Mayberry, Cook, Frdelja, Martin. Parkside: Ali Taleb, Tzatzaris and
Karcouskas.”
Spotswood 15.26 (116) d Parkside 8.12 (60)

Showing they are well on the way to back-to-back premierships, Parkside creamed Hoppers Crossing
by 119 points.
The win put the Magpies in a double chance position for the finals — Port Colts meet Hoppers in the
last game and there has to be a loser, whose place the Magpies will swoop into.
But that is providing the Magpies can overcome a very tough Deer Park — no easy matter given the
Lions' performance against Yarraville.
Best for Parkside were: Ali Taleb, Cammerino (five goals), Kotoski, Salopek and Cuzzupe.
