Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)
Last post by ElwoodBlues1 -
Trump has knocked back direct help from his old sparring mate Zelensky in terms of interceptor drones and experts but his Middle eastern state Allies have accepted Ukraines offerings and are loading up on Interceptor Drones and experts to teach them how to be used more effectively.
According to Trump the USA are the world leaders in Drone warfare and dont need help even though he is firing 4 million dollar Patriot Missiles at $20k Shahed Drones when the Ukrainian Sting Interceptor Drones cost only $1-2k and are more effective given they can be fired more quickly/cheaply as a swarm giving better protection. Of course Ukraine have been dealing with Shaheds for 4 years and are the experts in Drone warfare and made 100k of their Interceptor Drones in 2025 and are better placed than anyone to provide and advise defense for middle eastern States.
Trump doesnt want Zelensky having any leverage in terms of the USA owing Ukraine and messing with the politics that him and Putin have been cooking up in Europe. Iran have appealed to Putin for help but he cant do anything to assist given Trump has no relationship with Zelensky. Even Israel are happy to accept Zelensky's help and it remains to be seen what Trump and Putin will do next especially with Moscow now copping Drone attacks on Energy sites and in particular Gas lines and Compressor Stations that supply Europe and that their returns help finance the Russian war machine which is why they are being targeted.

Voss showed he hadn't and get left behind with an outdated game plan. Unlike others, I think our list isn't too bad but not the right person to to drive it. For years our attitude hasn't been consistently good, generally poor. We can tend to give up pretty easily. When all that happens people everywhere tend to revert to "poor list" when it's not always the case. We've generally been a bad club inside and out for 25 years, bar some odd years, especially under Ratten. Doesn't matter how good your list is, that situation means you do no good.

We started with a rebuild then they gave us Bolton, Teague and Voss to take charge of it. A Hardwick-type may have been different. He got 2 sides with ordinary attitudes too fire brilliantly.
Skill level has always been an issue and the brand we play is terrible to watch.
The gap is getting wider between the best and worst teams imo in terms of quality of football being played.
Skills level can be a result of attitude too. Watching GWS tonight, who usually use it well, but tonight awful and dysfunctional.  Reflects how they are switched on. I'm sure most of our blokes at least don't come to the club as poor users but we seem to turn into that way. It's like catching a virus, except they catch the poor user syndrome. Remember in 2023. We went from poor users to good users in a matter of a week after the Ed Curnow camp. That was attitude.

Right now our brand of footy is horrible. The Richmond game made my eyes bleed watching it.
