Re: New VFLW licence - LP - 10-16-2017
Is there another AFLW player that even close to Mouncey's size, I read somewhere she is +190cm and 90kg of muscle!
Excluding McKinnon who is 189cm, most AFLW rucks are around the 180cm mark.
I doubt any others would approach the 90kg of lean muscle, we can ignore the search on that one!
btw., I think it is very wrong not to publish the AFLW playing weights, if they want to be role models for anorexic teenagers or children they shouldn't be hiding those numbers!
There is no doubt they are healthy, why not publish healthy weights?

Irrespective, I think that professional competition for transgender athletes needs to be with males.
Males and females shouldn't compete physically, irrespective as the sexes are not equal physically.

No one comes close to her size in the AFLW. I agree about the playing weights, it's kind of weird that they don't list them.

Guys don't care as much about weight imho.
Anyway. We shall see.

If this was a Karate, Taekwondo, Boxing or Judo tournament everybody would know the weights by a weight class!
I think what the AFLW is doing just reinforces the stereotype, I've talked this through with my wife and relatives and we concluded it was a decision made by a male! You think if Tayla Harris was 70kg of muscle she'd want everybody to know it!

I disagree. But you guys have reached a consensus that can't possibly be biased so we can declare you correct if you wish.
Like I said, Ive yet to meet a female where weight wasn't a sensitive topic irrespective of what they look like.

FWIW, the most dominant player in the AFLW - Erin Phillips, who is ALL muscle and a freak athlete is listed as 173cm and 75kg.

It seems that there's no specific rule/policy on transgender players and, as things stand, there's no obstacle to Hannah's registration.
Apparently Liz Cambage is considering putting her hand up for an AFLW spot. She makes Hannah Mouncey seem quite small

Even if she is eligible, it will be interesting to see if any club will take the punt.

Regardless of the reason Cambage has been very divisive in previous team environments, would we want her?
