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.
I've no skin in the game in terms of the upcoming election, living interstate. I think it's going to be a fascinating watch though.
Just from afar it seems more a case of one side looking like losing-tired and worn out, past their use by date... rather than an enthusiasm for a new group to take over. I'm curious to see the extent of the One Nation vote and how that translates to any great extent into seats. It could be a future defining election for them. They need to keep their current momentum because once it starts to decline, that will be the end of the road for them.
Popcorn is ready.
Victoria is losing their minds and the rational outcome (whatever the collective perceive that to be) is far from guaranteed.
I'm not even sure what date the election is for, but so far i've only seem one group campaigning for votes in person, albeit on the side of the road, and that was one-nation. Complete with the professional oversized mugshots within the orange border, just like you see on election day.
I've never seen that before, from one nation, but they are getting in early and going hard.
Despite all of this, my gut feel is that one nation is a lot bigger in the northern states.
