Six years after he was drafted by Richmond under the father-son rule, Roach, who this weekend brings up his century of VFL matches – the bulk of them for North Ballarat – has done both. Furthermore, he’s more than comfortable with how things have unfolded. When the Tigers delisted him after 11 AFL games in three seasons, Roach was inundated with clubs from all around Australia trying to entice him, but he was keen to stay close to family and friends. Once he decided to stay in Victoria and continue his career at VFL level, Roach’s priority was to play for a club that didn’t have a full alignment with an AFL club. He noted from his Former Tiger experience at Richmond and the Coburg Tigers that selection weighed heavily in the favour notches century of AFL players, irrespective of form. Rooster tom Roach has adjusted well “I didn’t want that to happen to life in Ballarat and the VFL. to me, so I thought I needed to go to a club that’s only partially aligned or not aligned at all,” to graduate at the end of a possible 63 games in the past Roach said. next year as a schoolteacher. three seasons, represented the That’s where North Ballarat, He’s acclimatised well, put VFL state team, earned VFL led by coach Gerard FitzGerald paid to aspirations of returning Team of the Year selection and, entered the equation. to the AFL and adopted most importantly, played a pivotal “I met with ‘Fitzy’ and he a positive mindset. role in North Ballarat’s first seemed like a good bloke, a good “It’s been an interesting VFL premiership. coach and someone who cared journey.

VFL RECORD / 5 vfl experience uring its historic three- Williamstown’s Brett Johnson is peat, Sandringham closing on 150 games. conclusively proved that experience counts for Dplenty during a finals campaign. Sandringham achieved premierships from 2004-06 on the back of its seasoned VFL core. Experienced campaigners like captain Chad Liddell, goalkicking star Nick Sautner, Liston Trophy winner Ezra Poyas, and VFL Team of the Year representatives David Gallagher, Sean O’Keefe, Rod Crowe and Andy Biddlecombe provided leadership, direction and discipline. Add Chris Lamb, Peter Summers and Shane Valenti and you had the nucleus of a team to take Sandringham to great heights. It’s a considerable factor as to why North Ballarat goes into this year’s finals series looking to join Sandringham as back-to- back premiers. North Ballarat, under the astute tutelage of Gerard FitzGerald, boasts the most experienced core group of VFL players. There are many clauses in a player’s finals eligibility, but Wise heads prevail basically it boils down to the fact that there is a maximum of 12 AFL-listed players and rookies, in September and a minimum of 10 VFL players required in September. History shows that clubs turn to VFL veterans As AFL stand alone clubs in premiership quests. Collingwood and Geelong are not bound by these rules until such stage as their AFL club exits the While finals eligibility rules player. The Roosters boast nearly finals, the VFL Magpies and Cats don’t prevent clubs from fielding 100 games more experience can chose whichever players an 11 AFL/11 VFL player split or than their nearest rival Port don’t get a game in the AFL even a 10/12, they clearly put the Melbourne, and nearly 300 games finals.
