Shaky, then rattle ‘n roll (post on July 28, 2010)
 Joel Fishlock...in good form for the A-Reserves By Gary Stocks
After a shaky start the North Beach A-Grade combination found full throttle in the second half to power its way to an important 19-point victory against arch rival North Fremantle last Saturday.
After an inefficient and wasteful 2.8 in the first half, the Beach rattled on 10 second half goals to five in scoring a key triumph in the club’s quest to finish on top of the competition at the end of the qualifying rounds.
Now boasting a 10-point break at the top of the ladder, the minor premiership is all but assured with three games to play and can be locked away with a win against Fremantle CBC this week.
Against the Magpies, the Beach were sluggish early and could thank the likes of Andrew “Dingo” Nunan and Dean Brennan for keeping them in the contest.
Efficiency levels improved after half-time with Jamie Sajich, ruckman Joe Boys and Scott Ward also exerting a strong influence over the game while Beau Witheridge continued his good form up forward.
The A-Reserves leaped to second on the premiership table when notching a second consecutive victory over another top four side in powering to a 75-point demolition of North Fremantle.
A measure of the Beach’s dominance was that North Fremantle did not score a major in three of the four quarters as the home side controlled all facets of the game.
Steve Wattleworth provided a reliable marking target in attack and finished his work off with four goals while Cale Potts was exceptional at centre half-back and Tim Langsford was also outstanding in the last line of defence.
That key position control was extended with Joel Fishlock also lively across half-forward and in conjunction with Greg Pires and Michael Italiano, North Beach had all the answers.
The E-Grade paid the ultimate price for failing to finish off the contract against University and lost when the Scholars kicked a goal after the siren to claim a two-point victory.
North Beach had led all day after a brilliant opening, but kicked just a solitary behind in the last term while University poured on the pressure and kicked 2.5.
It was a disappointing loss, but Simon Lorimer, Byron Boys, Lloyd Quinlan, Trevor Lang and Tom McComiskie all played strongly.
The E-Reserves produced a competitive effort against the highly rated University but lost some key players in the contest and ran out of steam when the game was on the line.
Josh Bubnich played strongly through the middle throughout, Josh Stretch, Sam Harrison, Chris McComiskie, Yannick Siegwart and Paul Cavanagh were all strong contributors over the four quarters.
The G-Grade was unfortunately no match for the competition’s leading team, Kalamunda and lost by more than 100 points.
The Phil Scott Colts enjoyed one of their most comprehensive victories of recent memory when dispensing with an under-manned North Fremantle combination.
The Maggies turned up with only 15 players and the Beach was forced to play with similar numbers on the ground, which resulted in a heavy rotation off the bench.
After an even first quarter, the Beach powered away to win by 133 points - kicking 21 goals to one after quarter-time.
The Beach enjoyed domination all over the ground with Josh Barber and Jordan Kickett capitalising on that control with 13 goals between them. Matt Irvine, Josh Stott, Chris Mead, Jamie Cosgrove, Jacob Griffiths and Ryan Antonelli also enjoyed the day and the Tigers will take some confidence into this week’s show-down with league leader Fremantle CBC.
The Brett Jones Colts played some of their best running football of the season at times when beating Wesley Curtin by nine points, but opened the door for their opponents with some costly concentration lapses.
Victory was set-up with an outstanding first quarter, kicking five goals against the breeze, the effort dropped away for the second term and parts of the third, before kicking back hard and establishing a match-winning break.
Three late goals by the opposition made the result closer than it should have been and the focus over the next fortnight will concentrate on finishing off the effort.
Mark Foreman was in good touch at half-forward and on the ball, Gus Barwick provided good rebound out of defence, Jake Robinson was a reliable target at centre half-forward, Evan Miller was exceptional in the ruck and Chad Perris played with strength and energy on a wing.
In addition Reece Thompson worked hard on a wing, Chris Emery was good through the midfield and Ivan DeRooster produced some quality football in defence, with Cale Foley.

Juggernaut hits speed hump (post on July 20, 2010)
 Joe Boys...played well in the ruck By Gary Stocks
The North Beach juggernaut hit a speed hump on the way to the WAAFL A-Grade finals when upset by Whitford on Saturday.
The Beach made a sluggish start with only two goals on the board to half-time, was forced into uncustomary skill errors, created by the pressure applied by the opposition, and never really looked like recovering on the way to a 19-point defeat.
While Dean Brennan worked hard in defence, Jimmy Nunan offered some grunt around the contests and Joe Boys did some good work in the ruck, too much was left to too few. Given the pressure on for places in the team a month out from the finals, the effort was difficult to fathom.
Bill Duckworth and his selection panel will have a close look at the composition of this week’s team to tackle arch rival North Fremantle at Charles Riley, particularly given the form of the reserves, who were far too strong for Whitford.
With Joel Fishlock kicking five goals and strong midfield form from Alex Billi, Mitch Dwyer and Matt Allan, there will be a strong case for their elevation next week. Billi, Dwyer and Allan have all had a taste of senior football this year.
So, too, has Michael Italiano who put his name forward with a three-goal contribution.
The victory shores up the A-Reserves position in the top three, earning it all-important double chance.
The E-Grade also hit an unexpected glitch when soundly beaten by Whitford. After an even first half, the opposition controlled the tempo of the game after the long break on the way to a 41-point victory.
The Beach were unusually sluggish, struggled to get their flow-on football together and kicked just one goal in the second half while Whitford rattled on eight.
Dion Jacobs, Michael Collins, Jake Robinson, Blake Hurley and Lloyd Quinlan all worked hard for the Beach, but generally lacked support.
The E-Reserves had earlier started the day positively with a 74-point demolition of Whitford.
With Hayden French and Nathanial Gregoire kicking nine goals between them, the Beach were always in control and other outstanding contributions came from Josh Bubnich, Trevor Lang, “Slimy” Tester, Nathan Holden and Chris McComiskie.
The E-Ressies are sitting a game out of the top six, but has a significantly superior percentage to three clubs directly above them, who have just a one game advantage. The run home will be intriguing, starting with this week’s clash against top side University.
The Phil Scott Colts consolidated their position in the top five, again over-coming a slow and inaccurate start.
Scores were level at half time, although the Beach had produced a wasteful 2.8 to Whitford’s 3.2 but the Beach received better value for effort after the break and had the game in their keeping by the middle of the final term.
Unfortunately, the boys took their foot off the pedal in the last 10 minutes, allowing Whitford to add respectability to the scoreboard by kicking the last three goals and reducing the margin to 19 points.
Adam Miotti was outstanding up forward in conjunction with Jordan Kickett, Keegan Knott chipped in with three goals, while Mitch Christie continue his good form and centre half-back Matt Irvine consistently rebounded the ball forward.
Shane Fulwood and Josh Stott were also under constant notice.
The Brett Jones Colts made a horror start to their contest with University, but fought the game out after trailing by five goals at the first break.
The undermanned Beach had to contend with several “no-shows” which left just the bare 18 but showed strong resolve in eventually losing by 47 points.
Ryan Antonelli, Chad Perris and Rory Herbert all excelled for the Beach while Jordan Dye kicked three goals.
