Ayre has crazy potential and is 19 but Harris also has amazing potential and is only a year older and way more proven already. I get what you're saying about it potentially backfiring but when a player of her quality wants to join the list, you have to make it happen.
I don't believe we offered up the Hosking twins. That's just what they asked for. We offered up Jakobsson because she's from QLD and in trades like this you have to try and be at least somewhat fair especially with the AFL blocking unfair trades. I don't think we could have really handled things too differently.

Wait, Brisbane are the premiers, right? What right do the AFL have to stand in the way of any trades?

They have a vested interest in making sure the comp gets off the ground in all states. That means they won't want to see any club getting reamed at the trade table, whether that's by their own ineptitude or because players are making things difficult.

Adelaide were premiers. Brisbane runners-up. AFL blocking trades is not a new thing. Same rule is in place with the men's but I guess given the AFLW is still in its infancy, the league is trying to ensure teams aren't reamed.

I just don't know how the AFL can rate a player's worth and stop a trade that the current team would have accepted. Brisbane are worried Harris will go to the Dogs in the draft and they will get nothing.

I understand, but if both Clubs are accepting of a deal, who are the AFL to say it is not fair? Clubs would know more about themselves then the AFL.

This is what I'm thinking...sounds like Harris wants out and is determined to head to VIC...so wouldnt they rather get something then nothing.
Could come down to the final moments of the trade period if nothing 'suitable' trade wise is put forward they (the AFL) may just have to let it slide so the Lions get something they are reasonably content with rather than her slip through the draft.
Time will tell...
From what I've seen/read, we are front runners and in a good position to get her. Haven't heard of any other teams throwing players/picks at the Lions to get her across apart from Melbourne showing genuine interest.

Daniel Cherny reporting on Twitter that Nat Exon and Bella Ayre will likely get done for Tayla Harris
From what i read we didn't offer the Hosking twins...Brisbane asked for them and we and the girls themselves said no.
But yeah, you'd hope we have discussed the move with Ayre and knew she'd be open to it before offering her surely?
But apparently we didn't do that with Jakobssen...

Ill be ropeable if thats the case. Two of our better players for one who basically sulked her way through season 1. Short sighted rubbish.

Ok so Carlton get Taylah Harris. Nat Exon & Bella Ayre to Brisbane.
Bianca Jakobsson to Melbourne in a 3 way trade with Melbourne and the Bulldogs.
Carlton receive an early round pick from the Bulldogs.

I'm not particularly happy, but it's not short-sighted.
Harris is one of the best players in the competition. Once she identified Carlton, we weren't going to say no & it was always going to cost a fair bit to bring her across.

Deal has been done Wooks.

Bugger. Both Exon and Ayre were valuable to the team. And good people.
I want to see more runners in our sights.

So basically:-
BRISBANE LIONS
Bella Ayre and Nat Exon from Carlton
CARLTON
Tayla Harris from the Brisbane Lions
Draft pick No. 12 from the Western Bulldogs
MELBOURNE
Bianca Jakobsson from Carlton
WESTERN BULLDOGS
Deanna Berry from Melbourne
BRISBANE LIONS
Bella Ayre and Nat Exon from Carlton
CARLTON
Tayla Harris from the Brisbane Lions
Draft pick No. 12 from the Western Bulldogs
MELBOURNE
Bianca Jakobsson from Carlton
WESTERN BULLDOGS
Deanna Berry from Melbourne
Surely that means we get Shache for a 3rd rounder in October...

Harris was one of the best players in several exhibition matches which were no where near as competitive as the AFLW season was, and when push came to shove she was found wanting. On the other hand we've now given up two players who did actually do stuff in the competition last year when it mattered. This is a crap decision by the club.
edit: AND Jackobbson. FMD this is idiotic.

If someone had told me 5 or 10 years ago that I'd be reading a Big Footy thread with Bluebaggers debating so passionately who's being traded in and out of our women's football team ...........????
How thing's have changed - and for the better. Go Blues !!
