This case raises the question as to how people are to be defined as eligible to play in the womens league or will it just be another case of "at the AFL's discretion"?

Look at our new AFLW ruck, Bridie Kennedy at 175cm and about 65kg by the look.

I have absolutely no doubt the correct decision has been made.
Goals for 2017

OK, this transgender sh1te is going too far.
I was scoffed at on this forum when I suggested somewhere at some stage a B Grade male professional athlete would change gender to make a living out of their chosen career in a female comp.
Well I was wrong, it won't be just B Graders. Laurel Hubbard, a former NZ Mens weightlifting champion is cleaning up while competing as a woman in the Comm Games.
I'm calling it Bullsh1t!
Bad luck for Hannah Mouncey, I feel sorry for her, but she should not be allowed to make or supplement her living out of being a Professional Female Athlete!
Bring in the chromosome tests, they are now dirt cheap and unequivocal and can form part of an athletes Bio-Passport, I don't give a stuff about political correctness.
There was a Comm Games photo of the competitors in one of the weekly rags, it fair dinkum looked like Andre the Giant surrounded by a Melbourne Cup field of Jockeys!
Some of those poor girls have trained their whole sporting life for a crack at being a very distant second to a bloke!
It's Bullh!t, I call it Bullsh1t and it's gone too far! :o

This has been going on for many years. Recall the Press sisters, Tamara and Irena? They were very successful Soviet athletes in the 1960s with big question marks over their gender even at that time - before anyone had ever heard of 'transgender".

I know, but it is still bullsh1t MBB, was that injury a snapped conscience!
Win or lose, Laurel/Laurie/Gavin whatever was a former male national champion!
I actually feel sorry for Laurel, because if that failed record attempt was a way out of the uncomfortable situation she found herself in then it sucks, because Laurel shouldn't have been put in that situation in the first place!
