He was a former aussie level handball rep . After becoming a girl she played aussie rules football . She is allowed to play at non pro level but not as a pro .
I theorise if he had been born a she ,she would have been circa 5ft 11" and circa 170 lb. As height and to some degree size help in afl being born male gives a significant advantage.

Well at 6.4 she would be good for netball, he has to forget his past as he is now a she, and she's play she games, netball, badminton, lacrosse, or hockey, mind you hockey could be a back breaker, swimming and with that height volley ball would be good.

But as you said you need to be a man, and he is now a she, and she's cant play in pro football, now this when he was a guy, would bothered to find all this before he become a she and left becoming a women till his game was over, unless this now she is trying to prove a point and in doing so get the rules changed.
If you have been reading the English news your see there is a problem with transgenders in the UK.

Consider the similarities between the transgender lady not quite knowing how she fits in, and the dual nationality issue for our Federal politicians.
But the difference is it is all set out in black and white in section 44 of the Constitution. which has been there since 1900. When it comes to the Constitution, "she'll be right" is never enough. The High Court is taking its time working out who's an Aussie and wh's not. Just like the ersatz lady mentioned above.

The judgment of the Afl was well reasoned .
There are a number of questions to be sorted by the high court . I can for instances see they might see a difference between someone who was born in Canada or India and thus had citizenship vs someone who has dual citizenship through their parents being born overseas . I can forsee issues depending on how much effort has been taken to disavow other citizenship.

It's like something out of The Castle: a man living in a caravan on land he owns in outback WA facing eviction by the local council.
Self-described introvert Roland Gopel has found his own patch of paradise on top of a hill overlooking the townsite of Menzies, 730km inland from Perth.
The 58-year-old, with a thick grey beard and flowing hair, lives alone in bushland in a caravan borrowed from a friend, with only the flies for company.
Leaving Perth behind because of sky-high rental prices, he settled on Menzies, population 250, two years ago for its affordability.
"I was getting nowhere renting in Perth … I couldn't find a place where I could afford," Mr Gopel said.
"I ended up moving five times within one year in Perth and I'd had a gutful of moving around."
He paid $4,500 a few years ago for the quarter-acre block on Suiter Street.
The sprawling views of the bushland are only interrupted by his closest neighbour, Prospector Pete, and the trains that roar past the back of his block.
He has no toilet or sewerage, periodically emptying a bucket at the local caravan park, but has his own rainwater tank for drinking and showering.
There are solar panels set up for electricity, though not enough power in his 12 batteries to run air conditioning, as well as a satellite dish for internet for the self-confessed computer nerd.
© ABC Goldfields-Esperance: Jarrod Lucas Roland Gopel is being threatened with fines of $50 a day for living in a caravan on land he owns. Man just wants to be left alone
MrGopel says he pays his rates and should be left alone to live in peace, although he concedes that is looking highly unlikely.
He is being penalised $50 a day for what the Shire of Menzies calls "camping illegally".
Shire CEO Rhonda Evans said there was an incorrect belief within some sections of the community that people who pay their rates can do what they want with their property.
She declined to comment further because the matter is still before the courts.
On August 1, Mr Gopel was fined $1,000 plus court costs of $1,745.50, while the Shire began seeking a $50 daily penalty.
The fine has grown to $4,750 in the three months since his last court appearance.
Man says he has nowhere else to go
MrGopel has lived something of a nomadic existence, holding various jobs as a pig farmer and most recently as a truck driver, and is now in the process of applying for a disability pension.
He has told the Shire "they're dreaming" if they expect him to pay the fines, maintaining no-one has the right to tell him what to do on his property.
Mr Gopel described the legal action taken by the council as "government overreach".
"There's no mortgage, I pay my rates but I have no services," he said.
"I'm doing no harm. There are quite a few of the locals who have no problem with me being here.
"If I didn't live here I'd be homeless."
Court date set for later this month
MrGopel said he sees parallels between his story and the movie, The Castle, the fictional story of a working class family's fight to stay in its Melbourne home after the government moves to compulsorily acquire the land for an airport expansion.
The movie ended up in the High Court, but Mr Gopel's due to appear next in the Leonora Magistrate's Court on November 21.
He is undecided whether he will attend court, or whether he will engage legal counsel.
"I haven't quite decided. I might see if I can get some legal aid," he said.

The castle, Pegman if he cleaned the place up fixed his roof and got rid of the torp on it, perhaps he would not have got picked on, I think your find he would get the same treatment in the UK
Perhaps he should have applied for planning to build a house, if like the UK he would have had 5 years to start building, and that would have given him 5 years grace.

The farce with dual nationality continues .
I mentioned Ash Barty the tennis player before and how I like her attitude . She moved her ranking from the 200's to 17 this year.
State election coming up with neither party inspiring . Pauline" Ku klux " Hanson's One Nation party could be a major player . Current Labour premier will enhance her Moses like rep if she can bring this one home .

I know that Malcolm had to step down from the band about a year ago. He said that he couldn't remember the songs. He looked like crap at that time.
