Drop or torpedo NM?

I understand the reference to the banana kick, and the double entendra alluding to her mental facilities, but in today's PC world, somehow you can call her a drop kick, but banana sits in dangerous territory.
Unfortunately, we have to be careful these days. It quickly goes from zero to 100 with no in between and you get labelled a bigot.
Of course, I don't think you are as I find you a very even and level headed poster.
Sorry to say this stuff...

The AFLW have scuppered Mouncey's plans for 2018.
It will be interesting to see what happens next year, radio is reporting Hanna Mouncey is Pre-OP. media reported her as transitioned, but I gather Pre-OP mean s not quite yet. I'm not sure what that means physically and mentally to someone already in transition therapy, and what effects it has physically when they resume training, etc.,etc..
She played three games only in 2017 and destroyed the opposition with 17 goals despite allegedly being the slowest player on the ground. Opposition reports said that despite the lack of speed if her club could get the football in her area she was clearly more powerful than any other player on the ground. AFLW scouts had declared she would be a top ten pick.
I wonder what Hanna's bone density would be like, on SEN they said she was about the same size and weight as The Ox! Can you imagine the devastation a collision on field could cause, what would be the legal or insurance ramifications?
A co-worker made an interesting point today, if someone was transitioning the other way, would they be allowed to compete with inflated testosterone levels? We sort of concluded there is some asymmetry in this debate, in that the transition is not equally the same in both directions. Going one way looks like downhill skiing, while the other would be climbing Everest!
Lots of questions, most of them unanswered.

I think the AFL have made the right decision on this one. It's interesting that they've said that their decision specifically relates to this years draft, and next years competition, which leaves the door ajar for Hannah to nominate in subsequent years.
They did mention the maturity of the Competition as a deciding factor also, which I think is on the money.

All good nm. I am sure we all know nothing was meant by it.
