HOW QUICKLY the tide of play turned at Eureka Stadium – North Ballarat built a 46-point lead then lost by almost six goals.
The Victorian Football League season opener on Saturday has given North Ballarat and fellow North Melbourne affiliate Werribee plenty to finetune.
In a power start, the Selkirk Roosters slammed on six unanswered goals to a goal-less Tigers in the first quarter and booted another major to open the second.
Play steadied in an even second term but the Tigers belted out 11 goals to two in the third to set up their 20.15 (135) to 14.15 (100) victory.
North Ballarat coach Gerard FitzGerald said there would be no changes to routine in the Roosters’ camp.
