Harris at Odds over Contract Talks

[Thryleon]

I think the women's game, much like the men's, has a pecking order, and Tayla, much like Dangerfield, Bont, Dusty, is at the very top of that pecking order, and we need to compare like with like. When you look at how much those men get paid, Tayla is asking for one fifth or one sixth of their salary. Of course, her form was off this year, but you don't dock the men simply based on output. Charlie Curnow and Marchbank would earn $10 / week if that was the case.

Reading the internet, reports are saying the relationship between her and Carlton is strained, so she may be playing elsewhere next season.

On the surface, her actions may look like greed, and maybe that's all they are, but these things can sometimes have a flow on effect, and you may end up with most, if not all the girls, being better paid.

Without putting people in any stratospheres as its neither here nor there, the men's players get the money rolling in that supports the aflw competition.

The girls rightly or wrongly play at most about 12 matches a season.  They aren't fully professional yet and frankly, I dont think they should be at such a high wage bracket irrespective of how much one puts on their value.

Particularly when if the women's game stood on its own two feet they couldn't afford to pay her.

How does this compare to the rest of her peers?
Note: she's currently on 75k.  Thats my annual full time wage.  She's asking for 150k next year.  Its a large amount and a creep up to 100k might be more applicable.
