Great news for the Melbourne AFLW program. Tayla has a very good 2025 and was a key part of the team.

MFC website report

Tayla Harris’ Demon legacy is set to continue, with the high-flying forward inking a two-year contract extension.

The new deal will see Harris in red and blue until at least the end of 2027.

The announcement follows a career-best season in which Harris played all 15 games, averaging 12 disposals, four score involvements and a goal.

In a bold statement to the competition, General Manager, AFLW Clare Pettyfor believes Harris’ best football is still ahead of her.

“2025 saw one of Tayla’s most consistent seasons to date,” Pettyfor said.

“She continues to drive an incredibly high standard, and we genuinely think she is positioned to take her footy to another level which is a scary prospect.

“Tayla is a unique talent with exceptional athleticism and footy IQ.

“She’s also a great teammate and an all-round good person and we’re thrilled to have her in the red and blue for 2026 and beyond.”

Since the league’s inception Harris has played 85 games, notching up four All Australian selections and a premiership.

Harris showcased her trademark aerial dominance in Saturday’s preliminary final loss, soaring to take one of the most impressive marks of the season.

    Great news. As brave as they come. Wish we had a forward in the men’s team that contests like she does.

    Thrilled to hear this one - and to think we nearly lost her last year. With what is shaping up as the likely exit of Zanker, Tayla becomes even more important.

    Excelllent player. Plays ruck key back and fwd

    Amazing attack on the footy

    Don’t reckon her best footy is played as a stay at home fwd so that will be a challenge if Zank leaves

    This is fantastic news but I’m puzzled as to why it’s only now being announced. About three weeks ago I was told she had re-signed so when next I saw her at Gosch’s I congratulated her. She said, “Thanks so much, but that was about a month ago.” 🤷‍♀️

    She is only a Melbourne Premiership player, and she should remain that way.

    Great to be able to continue to watch her play in red and blue.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
