I thought the Melbourne Football Club has been a train wreck 🤔 lately. But then I have seen what's happening to the WNBA, WOW. The best soap opera I have ever seen. How too destroy a sport in ten stupid moves 😳 🤔 😐 😒 😕 😤 😳

Hi DF good to see alive and kicking. Yes I am a BB fan but I not into the WNBA much, I am not aware of the problems can you tell us more?

Yes, I am at Southland shopping centre and haven’t got lost yet, unlike my last visit to Chadstone shopping centre.

I had heard that Shopping Centres are not safe over East.

Well you are missing out. More drama the a Melbourne Football Club board room meeting.

The league is currently renegotiating the player salaries and conditions. They offered the players about a four time benefits increase, but the players are turning down the offer. Think the players want a similar deal to the men. Unfortunately for the ladies they don't generate around 11 billion dollars in revenue that the men do. Last season the WNBA lost fifty million dollars, which the NBA had to subsidised. There is talk about a lock out of players this season and maybe the end of the WNBA.

There is a young player that has attracted a lot of attention from the public and sponsors called Cathlain Clark. As a result the attendance at games has significantly increased as well the TV coverage. The league is trying not too promote her, which is weird, and maybe allow other players to physically attack her on field. Little to no protection from the umpires. The old veterans appear to really dislike all the attention she getting.

I think the NBA and WNBA will undergo an investigation by the FBI.

You mean Caitlyn Clark and yes she has copped a lot of physical attention on the court without a lot of referees’ protection.

If you all get a chance, listen to the Bike Boy podcast, it’s mind blowing.

Yes that is her, my memory is not as good as it was before the stroke.

She is a very exciting player and getting a lot of attention and obviously a lot of opponents don't like it.

Hope you are ok and getting better.

Perjury, an offence under Section 314 of the Crimes Act and Perverting the Course of Justice, a Common Law offence, are still offences open to be prosecuted without any statutory time limit and can carry serious jail time.

The smell of rotting fish is all around this incident and its aftermath.

Might need to take some care in these airings in this forum?

At a personal level, anyway, too serious for this funny old uncle (not Uncle) of a thread!

Back to more interesting matters, I see that bananas are now being added to various juices.

Have tasted a few and as expected they are great.

It will soon be six years since my stroke which left me unable to work. Not really getting any better, but not getting any worse either.

Yes she is a great team player who can also score. But she now in the USA team and will be hard for our girls to stop her plays.

Very much so... Undoubtedly a certain someone was hoping the clock would run out as it will ( most likely ) on specific offences .... but as you rightly highlighted.. not all 😉

I remember my father calling Australia Day, Sydney's Birthday, once it was set on the 26 January. To me, Australia Day should be on the 1 of January as the founding of Australia was on the 1 January 1901. But I guess there more New South Wales people who like the rest of us celebrating their birthday 🎂

With 13 or more players not in full training atm, we are really behind the 8 ball and it is becoming hard to keep positive.
