Re: Harris at Odds over Contract Talks - LP - 05-21-2021
In terms of football.
I note the comments of Dimma who when asked about the performance of lynch and the prospect of going back to an old solitary dominant KPF setup, stated something like. "We've been down that road and it leads nowhere!"
This could be a good thing for our team. We have a fast paced running game style, and we might be much better of with several less obvious fast-paced F50 targets. Multiple paths to goal. Keep this in mind, when we kicked the record score Tayla was scoreless and had just 5 disposals!

I would have thought there would have been middle ground for TH....she has asked for 150k probably expecting 100-120k in reality.
There has to be a goodwill value to her contract with what she provides off the field as well as on, I'm just really surprised how quickly the negotiations have come to a finale. If I was Jeannie Pratt or another benefactor with an interest in furthering the womens game and womens interests in general I would have found that money.
Call it a football scholarship what ever you like, give one to Tayla, maybe DarcyV...think outside the box a bit, put a bit of extra coin in their accounts and demand a bit more from them in return.
The amount of money is a pittance and I reckon Tayla missing may cost the club more than that....

Anyway, it looks like so far Tayla's Manager has come up empty handed, with the other clubs baulking at the asking price.
Could she end up homeless? :o
Too costly to carry and too proud to settle!

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.

To be fair though, that's no different to Diesel Williams.

Harris IMO is abit of a mercenary after coin in an industry (AFLW) that cant support it at the moment. Its like me asking my boss for twice the money I'm because I'm really really really good at what I do. He'll tell me to GAGF'd and find someone else.
Re: Harris at Odds over Contract Talks - ElwoodBlues1 - 05-21-2021
Carlton was full of mercenary's...we paid more, brown paper bags and all and got all the good players, ended up biting us on the rump(hello JackE) but we got our share of premierships. The thing with mercenary's is they have to be real good at what they do and deliver in the big games so thats probably the bone of contention with Tayla on the field.

The problem as I see it is that over the recent times the thing Tayla is really really really good at, and the thing that will earn her the big dollars, isn't the football part of her profile!
In recent times she is a good footballer, not a great footballer!
I was also worried during the last season, I got the feeling the AFLW was basically doing it's best to make her bash and crash game style redundant. We had a few discussions along those lines in this very lounge!
