Trump is apparently offering Greenlanders 10,000 to 100,000 to switch the country to the USA
If I was a Greenlander and he made it a million I'd do it in a heart-beat. 


Then I'd move to Canada  

Inflation says no.

If RedTrump went ahead with this inflation in the USA and Greenland would go through the roof, immediately the $1M would be worth next to nothing. It's the fundamental problem with unrestrained capitalism and it would be put on steroids by adding 100k overnight millionaires to USA economy at the expense of US citizens.

In any case, whatever value remained they would lose almost immediately it in fees, taxes and duties. Can you imagine Greenlandic natives suddenly losing Danish Health benefits and welfare to be left at the mercy of the privatised US Health and Social Services system, what's the fee for a call out to Greenland?

Inflation, gets you every time!

Trump's plans to acquire Greenland are disturbing for Australia imho.Denmark has been a good ally, had a long-term military relationship buying USA equipment and producing fighter aircraft parts for them.

Canada will be another state in the USA according to Trump..got a massive drug and homeless problem too.

We are more susceptable to injuries this year, than any year in the past. With a large amount of luck, we might be ok. With an average amount of luck, we'll be lucky to match last years efforts.

I'd argue the opposite.
That we're better placed to deal with injuries than we have been.
With greater depth and more versatility.
That shows through when we try to construct the various lines and players are missing out.
A lot will depend on who gets injured though.
So we'll agree to disagree.

I feel for others who don't follow the same logic as they are the ones who will jump up and down, pitchforks in hand demanding more from the club. That cycle will hurt the club, like it has in the past.
Carltons biggest issue is impatient supporters, forcing our hand before it needs to be forced, perpetuating cycle of unending rebuilds.

If the results don't flow then there will be changes.
So folks won't need to jump up and down.
The writing will be on the wall.
And most likely it will be the coach who will depart.
His contract is for 2026.
That was the allotted time.
We won't be sacking him, we just won't be extending him.

But he doesn't need to have dramatic improvements.
It just needs to be seen to be moving in the right direction.
The team coming together, youngsters developing, a springboard to 2027... and he may get his extra time.
A lot of that will take place behind the scenes in terms of 'goals and targets' and we don't even know if some wheels might not already be in motion for change...that wouldn't surprise.

Bottom line.
With a bit of good luck we will improve and the coach will get his extension.
That's what I hope for and expect.
If things go pear shaped we won't...and then there will be changes.
And then it will be a case of looking ahead to a better year in 2027.

But that's just football seasons.
Put the bad ones behind you and look forward to the next one.
