STABILITY is important for North Ballarat Roosters as they seek to build a full four-quarter effort this Victorian Football League season.

The Roosters last night named an unchanged line-up, plus extended interchange, to face Werribee on Sunday.

There has been plenty of in-depth match analysis and soul-searching at Eureka Stadium after the Roosters lost a fifth match this season from a one-quarter blow-out.

This line-up pushed Box Hill and staged a late resurgence at home last week. It has lots to prove and momentum to gain before the Roosters enter a bye round.

BENDIGO Football Club captain Steven Stroobants says the Gold must stick together after a record loss at Williamstown on Saturday.

The Seagulls handed Bendigo its biggest-ever VFL defeat of 176-points at Burbank Oval.

Coach Aussie Jones expected the match to be Bendigo’s biggest challenge of the season so far and, unfortunately for the Gold, he was right, as they went down 30.27 (207) to 5.1 (31).

Williamstown set the tone by drilling seven goals to one in the opening term and didn’t let up in the second.

ROOSTERS captain Michael Searl has been ruled out of action for at least three weeks with a broken hand.

It is a heavy blow for North Ballarat Roosters, who host fifth-placed Box Hill tomorrow, but it comes in a week that defender Liam Hoy has been cleared to return to the backlines from a broken thumb.

Roosters team manager Marg Richards confirmed yesterday that it was a clean break in Searl’s hand and the skipper would not require surgery.

Searl sustained the injury in the Selkirk Roosters’ 44-point loss to Northern Blues in Victorian Football League action on Saturday.
