Yes, tend to agree.
Re: Harris at Odds over Contract Talks - LP - 06-08-2021
Unfortunately for Tayla the earlier rumor regarding a pay cut seem to have turned out correct, down as much as 40% is being reported.
Hard to believe her management still have a job!

Pretty simple stuff... Don't perform, don't appear committed.... Don't expect a good result.

Re: Harris at Odds over Contract Talks - kruddler - 05-28-2022
So i watched a doco on Tayla Harris - Kick Like A Girl. Its on Amazon.
An hour long doco that somehow seems to have more Brisbane and more Melbourne stuff than Carlton stuff, despite the fact she spent twice as long here as everywhere else combined, but so be it.
They certainly do talk about her time moving from Carlton though....but it is just her side of the story of course.
Important points....
1. The 150k rumour was complete BS.
2. Carlton didn't offer her a contract and when she found out, she broke down in tears.
3. She said she played her first season at Melbourne on the minimum, so she could earn the respect of her teammates.
4. She admitted her head and performance was not up to scratch in her last year with us, which was down to many things, but COVID and not being able to see her family, on the back of all the photo backlash was the main reasons. Which she fully owns up to.
Some things not mentioned...
- Rumour(s) of relationship issues with (former) coaches
- Any kind of backlash from the club in terms of her instagram / training session walkout
- Any feelings at all (good or bad) towards Half.
All in all, she admits it was a business decision and her performances were not up to scratch and she was shipped off as a result.
It cut her deep, especially around the 'reasons' for it (ie money) being completely inaccurate.
From a Carlton point of view, i wonder if it was a matter of...
1. Her performance was simply not good enough
2. We couldn't be bothered trying to get her right
3. She was a bad influence on the playing group or came across as not as committed to Football as she should've been
4. There were personal issues between her and coach(s) that could not be resolved.
or a combination of any/all of the above.
The only comments from Carlton were from Half, and Maddie P. Both relatively glowing.

Considering how many players we have had leave I don't think it's all her fault.

One of the discussions i've had on the topic is this, if players are not 100% committed to the cause, send them packing. I don't care if its Tayla Harris, Mitch Robinson or Brendan Fevola, no player is bigger than the jumper. I've been fans of all 3, but have also been in favour of sending them out the door.
Sure, there have been many others that have left. Is Half too harsh on them? If Half just trying to get a list together that is as committed as the girl beside them?!
I once got the opportunity to pose a question to half about his 'non-negotiables' from players. He gave 2, commitment and effort. "If you can't give me both of those, i've got no time for you."
Based on players leaving, it appears that quite a few of them failed that simple test. Clearly Harris was one.
Should/could the club do more to ensure players are in a better position to give proper commitment and effort.....possibly.

Harris had a good season with Melbourne, she was strong at the Lions. Her form slump was with us.
Prespakis, Davey all more than happy to leave.
If that was the mens side and McKay, Cripps and Walsh all wanted out, the coach gets the bullet.

She had 1 bad year with us and that was covered in the doco.
