Re: Harris at Odds over Contract Talks - LP - 05-24-2021
Her manager is now trying to claim if Tayla doesn't get the deal she wants she will step out of AFLW for a year, basically even if that is free will it is a threat!
Tayla needs to sack her manager, whoever the manager is seems to be the problem!
Years ago there was an VFL/AFL manager who behaved like this, I can't recall his name but he basically ended up on the scrap heap because no club would deal with him! Had quite a few Carlton players in the 80s and 90s.

She will achieve more for the pay agreements and sport if she does exactly that though LP.
Dont view this in respect of the mens pay agreements and deals.
View this in a different way. If AFLW want to keep their stars that are being lured by other codes they must pay them accordingly or suffer the consequences.
Harris is in a win win situation here. She either gets her pay day playing footy, or gets her pay day doing something else.

But that if true that exposes a contradiction in the Manager's claim that it is not just about the money, it also exposes that Tayla is possibly motivated by pay rather than wins or sport!
I don't think my perspective is overly negative, and can easily be derived or associated with the statements from the manager.
Is it a tad ironic to feel baited by the manager's statements, given Tayla's strong social media stance?

He is a case study for those who believe in Karma.....he is now a quadriplegic after a car accident years ago.

Its not solely about her wages though. Its about pushing the womens game up.... In the favour of giving her more money or she walks to boxing...

The issue I now have is simple: if another team can match what she wants, can they do it without AFL help? I doubt that greatly. And, if the AFL does provided money and opportunities, then why not to us?
This is my biggest worry in the whole thing.
If the AFLW bow down and give her what they should re marketing the game, then i'd be spitting chips if i was in charge of our AFLW list.
I'd be seeking serious compensation.

There's always the possibility that everyone will baulk at the asking price.

That's where Eddie McGuire suggesting the afl step in has me worried, because if it gets to that, the afl probably will step in. At that stage she wouldve burned her bridge at Carlton so it benefits everyone else but us....and that's bs
