Re: Harris at Odds over Contract Talks
Reply #68 –
Well said, Ye Rat O' the River.
As I mentioned earlier, I get that she has something special (exceptional marketability) and has a very short time frame to make some good loot to help, significantly, her personal financial situation. I also get that she represents something that is inspirational to girls, young women and women of all ages.
BUT, I love what Harf said - spot on.
AND, to be totally selfish and look at it entirely from a CFC point of view... I am wrapped the club took the stance it did. As a player she seems to me to be exceptional in one area (one dimensional), and one area alone. When it comes to team contribution and significant 4 qtr contribution, as you rightly point out Ye Rat O' the River, Maddy P brings that without pause. Purely from a club viewpoint I would choose Maddy P., Darcy V., and a few others well before Tayla. I apologize if that sounds harsh to some.
If not for "that photo" and the publicity around it, she'd be just an AFLW player.
