Hannah Mouncey says hello!

Here's an update on your photo:


I wonder whether the photographer who took the photo you put up waited for a mismatch before taking the shot. After all, we know that Mouncey was forced to play in a lower league, so it wouldn't have been too long before she was in frame with some skinny kid who could paint a David & Goliath story for the reader. Just for comparison, one girl in the Western Jets U/19s team this year measured all of 148cm!!!

But I wonder whether the photographer would have wanted to photograph Mouncey alongside Sharni Layton. Remember that Sharni Layton is only 188cm even though she rucked. But guess what Mouncey's height is. You guessed it! 188cm.

Wouldn't it be funny if Mouncey was photographed alongside Liz Cambage at 203 cm or Lauren Jackson at 196cm? That probably wouldn't have helped the story the photographer was trying to illustrate, though, would it?

You seem to think that anecdotal evidence is scientific evidence. It isn't. In fact, I'd take anecdotal evidence in preference to the picture you put up which is nothing but cherry picking.
