Literally only a point or two in it!

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.

Not a H&A but...
We did play them in a final at the G in 2023.
We went alright too  

A couple of changes this week, that don't really help us much.

B:   21 Harriet Cordner   14 Siofra O'Connell
HB:   8 Lily Baxter   36 Ciara Fitzgerald   7 Poppy Scholz
C:   11 Yasmin Duursma   4 Claudia Whitfort   17 Dayna Finn
HF:   19 Erone Fitzpatrick   55 Sophie McKay   25 Keeley Sherar
F:   35 Nell Morris-Dalton   23 Lila Keck
R:   2 Lauren Bella   10 Mimi Hill   5 Abbie McKay
Int:   1 Amelia Velardo   6 Gabriella Pound   26 Tayla McMillan   20 Lily Goss   3 Darcy Vescio
Em:   24 Brooke Vickers   13 Aisling Reidy   30 Kiara Bischa

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.

Two games against GWS after the bye

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.

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.

6 weeks to go before this corrupt bunch are out the door.
