When the chief of staff to Premier Jacinta Allen quits unexpectedly, then Premier Allen admits she got the bail laws wrong, then the possibility of a leadership challenge against Allen goes up several notches. It's not so much who will replace Allen as Premier, it's more when will the leadership...

The reason why there won't be a leadership challenge against Premier Jacinta Allen is not because the contender isn't good enough to get the job, it's because Labor MPs are fearful of Daniel Andrews's intervention. Even though Andrews has retired, he still holds enormous influence within the...

Reading Shannon Deery's column in the Herald Sun yesterday about the possibility of a leadership challenge against Premier Jacinta Allen. Who would be the contenders and the wildcard for Allen's job, with a state election 12 months away?

What would the WA state election result mean for Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton as far as the federal election is concerned? On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

Jacinta Allen has to hold her nerve and not get sucked in or overwhelmed by the Herald Sun’s ‘crime crisis’. This is the reason why Daniel Andrews was successful in three state elections-not get swayed in by the Herald Sun’s crime crisis in 2018, and then resisting overwhelming pressure from...

Interesting to note that today's Herald Sun was all about the crime crisis, but no mention of the issue from the Age.

What are the odds of Jacinta Allen not seeing out the year as Premier if the crime rates and Victoria's budget balloon out of control? And who will be the most likely candidate to replace Allen as Premier? On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

If Labor (somehow) ends up winning the federal election with a little help from the Greens and the 'Teals', watch the Sky News 'After Dark' commentators (ie Andrew Bolt, Peta Credlin, Paul Murray) go into total meltdown. The ABC will however be jubilant with the result.

Don't be surprised if the ratings for the ABC's election night coverage is higher than normal because of the impending retirement of election guru Antony Green. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

Watch the right wing commentary at Sky News Australia on election night go into apoplexy if Anthony Albanese were to get up and win. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

Could the 'Guilty Party' tactic, using images of Daniel Andrews, Jacinta Allen, Tim Pallas work in 2026 like it did in 1992? On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yes, but would Daniel Andrews appear alongside his successor Jacinta Allen on the hustings before next year's state election? The Coalition will never have a better chance of regaining government than in 2026. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

Isn't it telling that Daniel Andrews hasn't come out and backed his successor Jacinta Allen in recent times over her government's problems. Maybe Andrews wasn't as confident about Allen handling her job as Premier. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

It'll be interesting to see how many seats Labor will lose in Victoria at the upcoming federal election. And if Labor does lose a swag of seats in Victoria, they won't need to look very far to someone to blame for the defeat: Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen.

Jacinta Allen must now be thinking 'this is not what I signed up for' when she took over from Daniel Andrews as Premier. And the fortunate thing for Allen is that no one is willing to spill the leadership against her. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

I'm of the belief that the comeback by Essendon against North Melbourne in 2001 sucked so much energy out of the Bombers, that by the time of the grand final against the Brisbane Lions, they had no petrol left in the tank and were always going to get beaten by the Lions that day. On 5002X using...

One recommendation to make as far as 2025 Premier B season is concerned- no 6 day break for the team that has won the preliminary final. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

If the Victorian Liberals think they're already home and hosed in 2026 thanks to their win in the Prahran by-election last week, think again. They need another 17 seats to regain government, and most of those seats are in double-digit margins because of Dan Andrews's win in 2022.

While the late Ron Barassi (as well as Ron Joseph and the 10 year rule) gets all the credits for North Melbourne's first premiership in 1975, it was Brian Dixon as coach of North Melbourne in 1972 who laid the foundations for the Kangaroos's success 3 years later. Barassi was good enough to...

While Jacinta Allen is safe for now, not so sure what will happen as far as keeping her position as Premier of Victoria down the track. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

It’ll make Paul Keating’s 1993 federal election win look like a routine result by comparison.

If the Liberals win both the Prahran and Werribee by-elections later tonight, expect increased anxiety within Labor Party ranks over what to do with Jacinta Allen as leader and Premier. The only thing going for Allen is that there is no viable candidate willing to take her on in a leadership...

At least Jacinta Allen could thank her lucky stars that Neil Mitchell wasn't the interviewer, considering the fact that Daniel Andrews very rarely appeared on 3AW when he was Premier. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

The problem for Jacinta Allen is that she no longer has the 'security blanket' of Dan Andrews to fall back on. Whoever took over from Andrews after his retirement in 2023 was always going to have a hard-no, make that extremely difficult-act to follow. After all, when was the last time the whole...

What will be the best and worst case scenarios in the Werribee by-election as far as the short and long term future of Jacinta Allen's tenure as Premier of Victoria is concerned?

Dan Andrews did the same thing too when he was Premier. Rarely did he consult with other ministers of his cabinet of the day-to-day decisions facing Victoria (ie 2020-21 COVID-19 lockdowns). While it might be one seat, it could have far-reaching ramifications as next year's state election is...

If Labor suffers a terrible result at the Werrington by-election on Saturday, expect rumblings of a leadership challenge against Premier Jacinta Allen to go up several notches. On 5002X using BigFooty.com mobile app

Would it be fair to say that by resigning as Premier, Dan Andrews has set Jacinta Allen up to fail in the 2026 Victorian state election, in much the same way the late John Cain set his successor the late Joan Kirner to take the blame for Victoria's economic woes at that time so she could get...

The fielding by the England's women team is a bit like Graham Gooch's 1990-91 England side that came over here for the Ashes. Their catching and fielding in the Ashes and ODI series that summer was nothing short of disgraceful. And that is where the England women's team is at right now in the...
