For the second year running the men in green and white will have a team in all three grades on Group 11 grand final day and Walkom admits it would be one of CYMS' greatest ever achievements if they were to walk away with all three titles.
"It would be special, it's just something any club would want, to have three teams in grand finals and the ultimate wish to win all three of them," he said.
"But I'm a realist and it's going to be a mammoth task, there's no lay down misere in any of the games.
"This is the second year in a row we've had all three in, it is still a huge task to win all three, everything has to be just right.
"Parkes have said all along they're underdogs but in the second half of the year they've been chugging along nicely and on Sunday I think all the games are even money."
The day's football will begin with CYMS meeting Nyngan in reserve grade before the much anticipated under-18s clash between the Fishies and minor premiers Forbes Magpies.
The day's main game sees a rematch of the 2013 decider with Tim Ryan's CYMS taking on the Parkes Spacemen.
Last year the Fishies fell just short of the hat-trick with first grade going down to the Spacemen while the two lower grades were victorious.
"To achieve it once is massive but to do it two years in a row is great and just reflects on the quality of people involved with the club," Walkom said.
"There's the coaches and their support staff and also the players and their commitment to the club and it shows the real unity in the club as well.
"At the start of every year the goal of every club is to get a high a position as possible and participate in a grand final so to achieve that is a real reflection on the club."
Walkom was full of praise for the coaches in the club with Ryan chasing his second Group 11 premiership while reserve grade coach Joel Rapley and under-18s mentor Wayne Sing are looking to defend the titles they won in 2013.
"The coaches understand the environment of the club, from Wayne Sing to Joel Rapley and Chris McGhee and to Tim," he said.
"They've all played in a club and are now parting that onto the players here.
"Of course you need some skill, ability and fitness bit firstly it's a social environment and the players are going out there doing what they enjoy."
Despite the success they achieved in 2013 the Fishies underwent changes behind the scenes during the off-season with Walkom moving from president to chairman of a board which involved more people in the decision making process.
They also began the Fishpond initiative, a fanbase program featuring membership packages and Walkom believes those changes have further increased the club's stability and strength.
"Any changes we made were done to compliment what we already had, we identified our strengths and weakness and looked at where we had to plug up those weaknesses and it's proven a success."
