Great to watch, amd highlights a little of how difficult it is to scenario plan with variables in play.

I can't see it transferring to the men's teams Baggers.
I think the dominance of North's women's side is purely that they have a jump on other sides in a relatively new competition.
They will eventually come back to the pack, but for the next year or two they'll be hard to beat, and that dominance isn't necessarily good for the growth of the game in the short term.

This in how unsafe Victoria has become: 
For the year ending June 2025, according to the Crime Statistics Agency(https://www.crimestatistics.vic.gov.au/) , there were:

18,482 serious assaults - a 16 per cent increase
7,856 residential aggravated burglaries - a 22 per cent increase
3,828 robberies - a 17 per cent increase
33,018 motor vehicle theft - a 42 per cent increase
86,351 steal from a motor vehicle - a 39 per cent increase
41,667 steal from a retail store - a 28 per cent increase
11,075 prohibited and controlled weapon offences - a 12 per cent increase.
9,663 family violence related serious assaults - a 23% per cent increase.

You add in all the graffiti, unoccupied run down buildings full of squatters, needles everywhere you walk, increases in ambulance staff and nurses getting attacked on the job, drones landing in family members backyards with white packs of powder on board, kids getting murdered on the way home from a basketball game.
The you have the Victorian Government actually cutting funding for Youth Crime Prevention programs and the Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS).
Debt in Victoria continues to grow faster than both the economy and revenue, with government sector gross debt nearing 30 per cent of the state’s economy. Credit rating has gone backwards and the auditor-general said gross debt was forecast to grow to $240 billion by 2028-29, about 202 per cent of operating revenue.
Crime is on the rise and so is the expenditure for victims of crime...Liabilities from redress schemes, and financial assistance for victims of crime grew from $30 million five years ago to $853 million.
Anyone living in Victoria should be concerned where the State is heading....future is bleak and the Crims are winning with the amount of unsolved crimes also increasing.

There’s a few reports around that Australia is on track to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035. Hopefully we can achieve this target. 2021 was a particularly good year, with zero cases diagnosed. It’s one of the most common cancers in women, so a super effort from all concerned.

The linked article is a bit of a plug for GP’s, but it does contain the important facts.

Is North's dominance in this competition becoming a real problem?
No doubt things will eventually turn, but the chances are they'll go through undefeated again next year.
