Would highlight the inequities more. Call me a cynic.
I have no problem with Tayla getting paid for marketing the game using her social media platforms, but paid from the AFL / AFLW in general because the dollars spent deliver benefit across the whole competition and favour Carlton very very little.
Carlton should spend Carlton money on Carlton stuff!
If the AFL and Tayla's Manager want to turn Tayla into AFLW Marketing droid, then let the AFL pay!
Isn't Carlton already spending enough on building the new AFLW Headquarters, do we have to advertise it at our own expense as well?

I want early draft picks and a starting player.
I disagree that we are well stocked for key forwards too. Vescio plays there bit could play anywhere. Still play there as a small forward.
Nic Stevens cannot mark the ball but is a solid worker with a good left foot snap.
I'd be targeting a key forward and backup ruck, and mids.
Is Georgia Prespakis in this draft or next year? I'd be making sure we have a pick to get her, whichever year she is available.

Sad to see Tayla go. I think she was good for Carlton. Not sure what's going on with her pay demands, but anyway................

Carlton will have the right to feel fully aggrieved if she moves to another club and that move is partially funded by the AFL.
In my opinion she is very poorly advised by her manager. I worry now that her previous good work in regards to Respect might be discounted, some will now have doubts about the validity of past events versus profiteering by design. In this Social Media driven world it's a natural connection for some to make even if it's completely unjustified, and those doubts will ironically potentially diminishes her future value and long term earnings, although she is likely to be held high as a hero to the more corporate psychopath monetisation types.

I find myself in two minds over the whole Tayla episode.
1. Her career as a boxer and AFLW player will be short lived, maybe another 4-7 years, so she has every right to do all she can to secure her long term financial future. Perfectly understandably.
2. However, and as harsh as this may sound, our club must manage its finances intelligently. No one is bigger than the club.
As difficult as it may be to wave her good-bye, and be strongly compensated, if it is to be... so be it.
She is an inspiration for women in sport, generally. I wish her the very best and to keep up her inspiration/role model ways. No matter what, her time at PP will always be well regarded, as it should be.
Re: Harris at Odds over Contract Talks - DJC - 05-21-2021
Harfs statement on RSN regarding Tayla Harris:
"Tayla's skill set in AFLW is unique, the challenge for Tayla was to be able to do that week in, week in. From a list management perspective you've got to put a monetary value on that. Clearly we've been unable to make that work"
"The gap was too big, we haven't been able to find common ground for the contract. It's in the interest of both sides to see what we get can outside"
"Well she's taken that option to look for another club"
Fair enough!
