Carlton Blues nab AFLW star Tayla Harris

Carlton's AFLW team have traded away three of their players to secure the services of highly rated Brisbane forward Tayla Harris.

Carlton have nabbed high-flying AFLW forward Tayla Harris from Brisbane in a complex trade involving several clubs.

The Blues traded three players - Bella Ayres and Nat Exon to Brisbane, and Bianca Jakobsson to Melbourne - as part of the deal, while also receiving a future draft pick from the Western Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs gained Melbourne's Deanna Berry in exchange.

A marquee player for the Lions, Harris led the competition for contested marks in the inaugural AFLW season.

"It's a real endorsement for our club to have a player of the calibre of Tayla wanting to be a part of our journey," Carlton coach Damien Keeping said on Thursday.

"She was the leading contested marker in the competition this season and we will look to capitalise on that strength all over the ground."
