North Ballarat

North Ballarat FC, Sports Club and NB Junior FC ( North Ballarat City FNC) AGMs are to be held on Monday 17 February, 2014.

This year has been very hard to judge,with a very young list,and not having everyone ready for the matches.good to have Paul Mcmahon and Michael Searl back,they look like they have never left.The players camp at Lorne was a great success,with Ray Mclean again to the fore with a great talk to the boys ,Ray is certainly of great value with the message he brings across,to knew and established players alike.I do think the roosters will give plenty of cheek as the season progresses.

The Selkirk Roosters’ are very excited to announce their VFL List for Season 2011.
After some key departures from the 2010 Premiership Side, including Stephen Clifton, Shaune ‘Spider’ Moloney, Stevie Dinnell, Daniel Feery, Clinton Benjamin, Corey Jones*, Warren Benjamin*, David Hale* and Josh Smith*, The Roosters are extremely happy with the new 2011 List.
Season 2011 will provide an opportunity for many players to play Senior Football and fast-track their development as regular Senior VFL footballers. Of the final 50 players contracted to the Club, 24 have come through the North Ballarat Rebels program, which speaks volumes about the North Ballarat Club structure and vision to retain and develop footballers within the Club. A further 11 listed players will bring either TAC Cup or VFL experience to The Roosters in Season 2011.
Several key mature age recruits bring significant football credentials to the youthful playing group including Levi Dare from Cobden / Port Melbourne VFL, Lachie George from Box Hill VFL / Tassie Devils VFL, Sam Hughes from Geelong VFL / Leopold and Jye Walker from Leopold.
The 2011 Playing List is a fantastic mix of regional footballers spread from right across Victoria.
It is extremely pleasing to see so many making the decision to play with The Roosters after recent on-field success. The opportunity for established Roosters’ players to take the next step is very exciting. They will be lead by a very mature leadership group lead by Marc Greig (Captain),
Myles Sewell (Liston Trophy Medalist), Matthew Sharkey, Matt Tyler, Orren Stephenson and
Tim Brayshaw.
After recently finishing their annual training camp at Lorne and outlining the expectations for the Season ahead, The Roosters now look forward to playing Werribee on March 19th and Geelong on March 26th at Eureka Stadium in practice matches, before embarking on the trip West at Patersons Stadium v East Perth in the Foxtel Cup on April 2n

Ground condition at Eureka Stadium yesterday for Sandringham v North Ballarat could not be better. After some night rain in the area overnight the ground came up in tip top condition and it's a pleasure to have change rooms also very good.

Is it no wonder that Afl teams are tempted to play there more often. And to cap off a perfect day the Sandy reserves all played well to win comfortably. Good players Keiffer Smith-Cameron,Maddison Hardiman,Tommy Lynch,Sean Dempster,Luke Myles,Cam Hunter,Madison Andrew,Blake Mcgrath.

=================================================

AFL TEAM North Melbourne wants to make Ballarat its regional "home away from home".
Kangaroos chief executive officer Eugene Arocca is eager to see the club and City of Ballarat form an ongoing, tight-knit bond.

The two entities already share common ground.

* North Melbourne will again play Richmond this year in what is known as the "Eureka Game" - initiated last season to recognise, celebrate and educate football followers about the important role workers have played in shaping

and advancing Australian life since the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat in 1854;

* The Kangaroos have an "undeniably strong" on-field alignment with VFL reigning premier North Ballarat; and

* North Melbourne vice-captain Drew Petrie hails from Ballarat.

But for Arocca, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

He told The Courier yesterday that North Melbourne was seeking Ballarat City Council support to take the growing relationship to a higher and more substantial standing.

Arocca said the move was not about attracting more North Melbourne members or supporters.

"It's more global than that.

"We're looking to make Ballarat as a regional city a key focus of North Melbourne Football Club," he said.

Arocca believes Drew Petrie is a central figure to the growth of the relationship.

He said Ballarat had a great football tradition, having produced a string of VFL/AFL champions.

Arocca said the highly regarded Petrie was the latest in this line, and someone Ballarat should be highly proud of.

He said developing a close bond with Ballarat was a way North Melbourne could repay the city.

"It's the least we can do."

A two-day AFL community camp in Ballarat next month will be the Kangaroos' next major step in forging a close relationship with the city.

North Melbourne will spend Monday and Tuesday, February 2 and 3, in Ballarat - leading clinics, community forums, and visiting schools, hospitals and other community facilities.

The camp is part of the AFL's annual program which sends clubs Australia-wide and overseas.

North Melbourne lobbied the AFL to be allocated Ballarat for the camp.

Arocca said North Melbourne was also planning to run an annual family day in Ballarat - completely separate to the camps.

He said the first of the family days would hopefully take place this year.

"It'll be exciting to have a regional visit every year," he said.

NORTH BALLARAT V WILLIAMSTOWN.WHAT A GREAT WIN OVER QUALITY OPPOSITION.BUT IF YOU READ THE HERALD SUN TODAY YOU COULD HAVE BEEN EXCUSED OF MISSING THE RESULT OVER THE TOP SIDE ,APART FROM THE SCORES BEING SHOWN.PROBABLY BEING IN THE COUNTRY WE ARN"T CONSIDERED WORTHY NEWS ,I'M SURE THE SCORE DID NOT GO UNOTICED BY THE OPPOSITION.WHILST WE DONT EXPECT HEADLINES FOR WHAT GOES ON I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE GAME DESERVED MORE THAN ONE LINE.QUALITY GAME HAD EVERYTHING,AND PRETTY WELL UMPIRED..

Sandringham 0.2 6.3 9.5 13.9.87 Werribee Tigers 5.4.34. 7.7.49 9.13.67 13.15.93 Goals Sandringham Sautner 4 Lamb Newton 2 Morton Poyas Summers Bell Yze Werribee Tigers Brown 3 Henderson Podsiadly McMahon 2 Chisholm Davies Sheringham Young Best Sandringham Yze Newton Liddell Crowe Frawley White Werribee Tigers Goldstein Thompson Davies Greenwood Howard Ross Had a look at the game today and didnt much like what I saw. Looks to me the team are just going through the paces and the Melbourne players are now just playing for a spot in the AFL team. If this poor form and attitude keeps up Sandy will be lucky to make the 8 and are maybe better not to! Oh and by the way crowd of about 1000 was pathetic for a place like Werribee. Looks like the Council is wasting ratepayers money on building terraces behind the Geelong end goals for no one to watch from.
