Re: Carlton in AFLW 2021: An Analysis - Professer E - 04-07-2021
I'm suspect I'm not the only one with concerns over Tayla Harris. Her no. 1 job at Carlton is to play as a key forward in a professional sporting competition, and her performance in that role is, too me, what matters. Sure players develop injuries which hinder performance, but that is her job at Carlton. I fear all the other peripheral stuff is distracting from kicking goals and marshalling the forward line. If she wants to do that other stuff, fine, but if you're wearing the navy get your priorities sorted out.

If she wants to do that other stuff, fine, but if you're wearing the navy get your priorities sorted out.So the desire to be regarded as professional without being 100% fulltime professional, is that the assertion?
Reminds me a bit of Ellyse Perry, I want to be a cricketer, I want to be a footballer, was eventually forced to choose a sport to become "Professional", of course Tayla might not choose Carlton but if that is the case we have to accept it!
Teenage boys are forced to make this choice often long before they finish school, they set a professional career path, while consigning the alternatives to hobby level.
I accept there is currently disparity between female 100% fulltime professional remuneration and the men, but no matter what the feminists want you can't get the plaudits before you get the supporters. Fans come before dollar$, you do the job ................ then you get paid, and if you do it the best ............... then you get a big bonus!
I understand the girls don't want to be pigeon-holed, they want to preserve their choices, they want to preserve their freedom, but that comes at a cost(a reduced cost!) It's an oldy but a goody, you can't have your cake and eat it too!

No, you've missed the mark completely. I'm judging her on her football output, which is what I believe the women want, not the other stuff. Just like the men... put in a poor game/season and you'll get called on it, it's nothing to do with pay rates or whatever you're spruiking.

She is a great trier, but I can only see her coming in if we get a number of injuries.
Well today was the day. We picked it.
Jess Edwards has been delisted.
No other players have been delisted at this stage. We might see if anyone has more value elsewhere (via trade) than with us.
