OK clearly people misunderstood what i was saying.
I'm not saying we don't try and win it, but i'm saying lets not show all our hand to do so. Leave some cards up our sleeve.
eg......If we've been training Good as a key forward, and can use that as a 'cheat' to get us a couple goals on a poor matchup. Do we show that card now, and give Kangas a few weeks to come up with a way to counteract that? We're better off saving that element of surprise for a Grand Final.
Or lets put it this way. The move to play Diesel in the FP in the 95 grand final. IIRC, he didn't know about that until the week of, if not the day of. Imagine we did that earlier in the year. People could come up with a plan ahead of time. Instead, he wins a Norm Smith because they had no answer for it.
Excellent selections IMO, with (hopefully) many more great ones to come.
Interesting collection.
Had never heard of 3 of them.
The Boys soundtrack. Earth Cry and surprisingly......Down City Streets
The first two understandably as they are not 'songs' so much as you'd think of.....but can't recall Down City Streets, but can understand why its in there.
Personally i would've had 'Goanna - Solid Rock' on there.
Well done to the girls for finishing 4th, even with the few hiccups we've had on the way.
The girls need to work on their after the siren set shots. While Darcy successfully ran the clock down, even a behind could have made the difference between 4th and 5th. It would have been nice if they had nailed the torp, but a drop punt may have more chance of making the distance.
Not sure why that's occurred. It may be as the thread starter, my vote doesn't get counted in the total. Seems strange, but probably doesn't skew the vote to a great extent.
Did you limit votes to 1 only?
I've done many a poll over the journey and thats the only thing i can think of that would allow that to occur. I've voted in my own polls and never had that issue before.
We'll miss both Hendrie and Good, especially Good who is among the best rucks going around. That Tara Bohanna couldn't get a game is worrying when we need a key forward. Nice to see gab Pound back. We don't look as balanced with 2 talls out. Hopefully, we can still put it together, but we look vulnerable.
Not sure if we've given up on Poppy Scholz, but named in the backline.....as cover for Hendrie, sure, but thats when you bring in Bohanna. If we can't pick Tara for this game, have we seen the last of her in Navy Blue?
Teams we play twice.... North Melbourne - R2 + R16 Melbourne - R4 + R18 Collingwood - R5 + R21 Port Adelaide - R6 + R23 Geelong - R8 + R19 Giants - R17 + R24
Only 16 rounds (15 games) have days/times allocated so far.
From that 15 we have.... 2 - Thursday night games 1 - Friday day game - (good friday vs North) 2 - Friday night games 2 - Saturday day games 2 - Saturday night games 6 - Sunday games.... 2x - 3:15 1x - 5:40 2x - 6:10 1x - 7:45 - (kings birthday eve vs bombers)
We travel interstate 6 times.... R4 - vs Melbourne (Adelaide - gather round) R6 - vs Port R10 - vs Gold Coast (Darwin) R12 - vs West Coast R17 - vs Giants R22 - vs Sydney
We also travel down to GMHBA (R19) for the first time since Covid in 2020.
Worst Scheduling quirk... R4 - We are in Adelaide playing the demons on the Saturday for gather round. R5 - We fly back to melbourne and play Pies after a 5 day break R6 - We fly back to Adelaide to play Port on the Sunday, a 9-day break.
Despite all of this, my gut feel is that one nation is a lot bigger in the northern states.
I suspect you wouldn't see a lot of difference in One Nation 'electoral' support between Victoria, and a place like Queensland. It'd be pretty much the same around that low 20% mark.
That doesn't mean Northerners aren't more conservative/right leaning in their political views. But those views are probably addressed by more 'right leaning' LNP and Independent candidates in the North.
Why switch to ON when you already have some who basically shares your political and social views.
The 'electoral' problem One Nation faces is that their support is patchy. It will be particularly strong in some areas....up over 30% perhaps. But in others they will struggle around 10-15% That's why the main focus in Victoria probably won't be the overall level of support for ON, but how it translates into actual seats in the parliament.
Maybe.
Its hardly statistically significant, but there are a few random different facebook groups (1000's on each) that sometimes stray into political debates. I would say 90% of the time One nation gets a push, its started from a QLDer.
Maybe its specific to this type of group(s) but thats where my gut feel comes from.
