Thanks @ElwoodBlues1 I can't believe it's coming to this, I mean it's surreal isn't it, without being malicious, this is exactly the reason why the likes of Hannah Mouncey can never ever play AFLW and should not be allowed to play VFLW either.Ignoring the bizarre aspects of the CPU, I can't believe people think this stuff won't happen in general as it is already happening, and in sports that attract high remuneration it won't just be a possibility it will be inevitable. Whether it is just a legal loophole like the CPU, or requires a genuine transition, they'll do it because they can. Quote Selected 1 Likes Liked by: ElwoodBlues1

At that point you realise just how farked the world is becoming. Quote Selected 2 Likes Liked by: ElwoodBlues1, Thryleon

I don't have the answer, but seeing people pretend to be something they aren't is not the answer either. Quote Selected

Re: General Discussions Reply #1463 – April 10, 2023, 11:38:10 am Interesting to read about Macron doing the traditional thing and folding like a house of cards after a visit to China, we are lucky as hell that we escaped that French Sub deal, we would probably have got a set of leaky boats full of Beijing back doors, not that the UK or US boats are likely to be any less leaky!
