🦈 PARKWOOD SHARKS — WE DID IT.I don’t really know how else to describe this past week other than HELL WEEK.Because sometimes the preparation is every bit as hard, exhausting and relentless as the event itself.It started Tuesday, with those who showed up to our Club meeting to hear the plan, understand the why and get their heads around what we were about to take on.Then came Thursday night.The working bee. The cleaning. The clearing. The lifting. The sorting. The setting up. The jobs that nobody sees when they arrive on game day — but without them, game day simply doesn’t happen.Then Friday night rolled around.And then Saturday.All. Day. Saturday.And somehow, after all of that… Saturday night too.Our goal for this finals series was pretty simple: we wanted Parkwood Sharks to SHINE.We wanted every person who walked through our gates to feel our Sharkies culture.We wanted people to feel welcomed.We wanted our grounds to be safe.We wanted our clubhouse to look like the beautiful home we know she is.And we wanted everyone who came through Parkwood to enjoy some bloody good, high-calibre finals footy.And Sharkies… WE DID IT.Our beautiful clubhouse was ready and she was GLEAMING.There were orange vests for days across those fields.There were Sharkies proudly wearing our colours, welcoming people through the gates.There were volunteers noticing the visitor who looked a little lost and asking, “Can I help you?”There were people picking up rubbish, filling fridges, wiping tables, working the canteen, manning gates, checking sheds, running sidelines, helping officials, keeping people safe and doing a thousand little things nobody will ever know happened.And yes, there were hiccups. Of course there were.But what our visitors saw was a CLUB THAT SHOWED UP.And when the eyes were heavy from exhaustion…When the heads and necks were sore from me constantly saying “EYES UP! HEADS ON A SWIVEL!” 😂When the feet were pounding and swollen from roaming those fields…When the bodies were overheating in that canteen…When you were running purely on caffeine, adrenaline and Sharkies pride…I hope you stopped for just one second and realised what we were achieving together.Because the feedback from this weekend has been astounding.The messages we’ve received are only a small snippet. They don’t include the phone calls, the conversations, the comments made in passing or the people who simply stopped to tell us how impressed they were.And every single one of those compliments belongs to YOU.To every person who gave us an hour.To every person who gave us a night.To those who gave us their entire weekend.To the people who weren’t asked but saw something that needed doing and just did it.To those who were absolutely exhausted but stayed for one more job.Thank you.I don’t know the exact old saying… because this week proved something slightly different:MANY HANDS DIDN’T MAKE LIGHT WORK.It was still blimmen hard work. 😂But many hands made the impossible possible.And together, we pulled it off.So sit back for a minute and let yourself be proud.WE PREPARED.WE SHOWED UP.WE SHONE.Our Club is absolutely glowing right now.And every single one of you who gave your time Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday put a little bit of that shine there.We can all bleed blue together knowing that when Parkwood Sharks needed its people…OUR PEOPLE SHOWED UP.Be proud, Sharkies.WE DID IT. WE ACTUALLY DID IT. 🦈💙🤍🖤#smallbutmighty#upthesharkies🔵⚪️⚫️ ... See MoreSee Less

PARKWOOD SHARKS — A CLUB THAT SHOWS UPThis week reminded us what a footy club is really about.It wasn’t just the finals, the games or what happened on the field.It was the hundreds of little jobs happening around it.And this week…OUR PEOPLE SHOWED UP. 💙You manned gates.Picked up rubbish.Collected cans.Refilled toilet paper.Wiped tables.Mopped spills.Chased footies.Covered duty.Managed grounds.Refilled fridges.Called hot chips.Checked sheds.Ran messages.Helped with first aid.Kept a timer. Kept the score. Was the DJ or MC. Did a lunch run.Ran to the shops for groceries. Went to pick up orders from suppliers. And over and over again, you simply asked:“What needs doing next?”“How can I help?”Some gave an hour.Some gave an entire day.Some gave every ounce they had left.EVERY. SINGLE. BIT. MATTERED.There wasn’t always applause.Sometimes nobody even knew you did it.But WE know.You didn’t just volunteer.YOU MADE THIS WEEK POSSIBLE.That is community.That is a footy club.That is what showing up looks like.And this week, Parkwood Sharks showed exactly why we are…🦈 SMALL BUT MIGHTY. 💙🤍🖤THANK YOU, SHARKIES.#SmallButMighty #UpTheSharkies 🔵⚪️⚫️ ...
