Harris at Odds over Contract Talks

[Baggers]

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

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.
