NORTH Ballarat arose from an unwanted slumber to steamroll Werribee Tigers by 51 points in the Victorian Football League at Eureka Stadium Ballarat yesterday.The Selkirk Roosters strayed from their usual strict work ethic after an energetic start to let the struggling Werribee make the running.It was not until after the Tigers hit the lead late in the second quarter and a reminder from coach Gerard FitzGerald at half-time about what had put them on top of the ladder after five rounds that the real North Ballarat re-emerged to win 13.23 (101) to 6.14 (50).Werribee was restricted to 2.3 in the second half."We were very good early,'' FitzGerald said in reference to four goals in the first 15 minutes of the day.He said while the Roosters knew Werribee would roll players back (to congest the forward line), they did not cope with it as well as they should have with delivery into attack below par.Turnovers hurt the Roosters and Werribee came back from 23 points down.It was a new-look North Ballarat in the third and fourth quarters.FitzGerald said the Roosters had 96 one percenters and laid 51 tackles."It was a massive effort.''He told his players that it was a reminder of the importance of "rolling up the sleeves" and working hard no matter who the opposition is.FitzGerald said the second half showed the Roosters what they were capable of if they put in this type of effort.He said he was delighted to be on five wins after the opening six rounds.The VFL has a break for an interstate clash with Western Australia in Perth on Saturday.Captain Shaune Moloney almost certainly earned himself a Big V guernsey with a close to faultless display at full back.Moloney looked as sure as he ever been in his VFL career to keep the North Ballarat defence steady in the face of a constant onslaught from the Tigers.At the other end of the ground where North Ballarat struggled to have its usual organisation, Corey Jones was key in breaking the scoreboard deadlock.He kicked two goals late in the third to set up the Roosters' final term five-goal burst.
