From Ballarat Courier Full article Click here NORTH Ballarat can become the undisputed king of the Victorian Football League by completing back-to-back premierships on Friday night. Having waited 13 years to capture their first VFL flag, the Selkirk Roosters can make it two in a row against the Carlton-aligned Northern Bullants at Etihad Stadium. North Ballarat stormed into the grand final with a crushing 61-point victory over Collingwood at Port Melbourne on Saturday, 22.14 (146) to 12.13 (85). The Roosters took the match away from Collingwood with a scintillating nine-goal third quarter. The Magpies hit the lead with a goal just 30 seconds into the term after a sea-sawing first half. |
Daniel Feery is brought to the ground in the thrid quarter, but it was all to no avail for Collingwood. |
