Tayla Harris' life and career

Tayla Harris is considered to be one of AFL Women's rising stars. In 2017, she famously signed to Brisbane Lions in the League's inaugural season and was named ''Player of the Week'' by the AFL Players Association. Later that year, she was traded to Carlton.

In 2019, Harris was involved in a social media controversy over a photo posted by the Seven Network. The photo shows Harris kickking the ball for a goal during a match. The post prompted trolls and haters to flood her with derogatory and misogynistic comments on social media. Several AFLW stars, including Erin Phillips and Darcy Vescio, condemned the trolls, alongside athletes associated with other sports. The Seven Network removed the photo in the midst of the controversy but received immediate backlash and criticism, prompting them to repost it soon after with a formal apology.
