Would have preferred we directed any spare cash we had to keeping Brianna Davey.

Talks break down

Can't say this disappoints me. Ridiculous demands, and I sense her teammates won't be too sad about this.

Good luck getting another club to stump up $150k for someone whose heart isn't in the game.

I sense a GWS/GCS 'ambassador' salary is on the way.

4 goals for the season? Hard to turn that away surely

According to AFLW reporter Sarah Black, rival clubs simply don’t have the cash to meet Harris’ wishes. It means the 24-year-old may be lost to the game for at least one season — a huge blow to not only the player, but fans who love watching her in action too.

“Probably not at that asking price,” Black told the Credit To The Girls podcast when asked whether other clubs could swoop in and poach Harris, now she won’t be at Carlton.

“She possesses two of the rarest strengths in women’s footy — contested marking and long kicking. So they’re huge attributes for any club.

“But as I’m making the rounds at trade period just asking a whole lot of general questions, I always go, ‘Do you have room for Tayla?’

“(Clubs say) ‘No, no, no, no’. There’s a hell of a lot of no’s out there including the two Queensland clubs. She is a Queensland native but the Lions and the Suns — that’s a no-go there as well.

“It may end up being that she may have to either walk away from footy or lower her asking price.”

If the asking price is accurate then she's either deliberately pricing herself out of footy so she can concentrate on boxing, or her manager has grossly overestimated her value to individual clubs (which is distinct from her value to the AFL).
