I just watched Daisy Pearce's acceptance speech at the B&F awards. She was so articulate and knowledgeable and put together a fantastic, well-researched piece which demonstrated how important the MFC's support of women's football is. She was very aware of the historical significance of the women's games and it is easy to see why she is captain. As much as I loved seeing Bernie, Jack and TMac's speeches, and their 'knockabout' style, Daisy's was by contrast, outstanding.

I'm surprised I haven't read much about this on here. Outstanding, uplifting speech.

Yep, watched this earlier.

What a great spokesperson for women in footy.

 

Daisy should consider a media career,she looks like a natural and has the advantage of actually playing the game so she knows what she's talking about.


It's hardly surprising that Daisy would be knowledgeable about MFC history. And it would be kind of strange if, as a woman captaining the first women's team, she was somehow unaware of the historical significance of the women's games. No one could know better than her the sheer persistance and hard work it takes for a woman to continue playing long enough to reach this level. So many girls in generations past have grown up with little ability to see a future for themselves in this game, even at the most amateur, social level. For too many their opportunities came to an abrupt halt at 12, 14 years of age or even earlier.

Daisy's knowledge and awareness of history aren't impressive to me because they are the experience of many women who are passionate about Aussie Rules and have not had the opportunity to express that passion on the playing field. What is impressive, as Daisy points out, is the MFC's contribution to allowing this to happen, and of course Daisy's superb leadership in driving that. And of course it's great speech because she rightly puts the MFC's pioneering in the women's games on an equal footing with our many other innovations :)

She just captained the Darebin Falcons to yet another premiership in the women's league.

Its a thread about Daisy.

Nothing to do with the MFC men's team.

And your contribution about Daisy is?

 

Yeah well, a noteworthy effort no doubt.. BUT

Does this gain us anything tangible in our quest to improve our performance in the AFL??

No?

Yeah, I know.. line up everyone have a go at the fence, but as most would be aware I ain't one for "Political Correctness" Hey Dazzle man you can be first to have a go!

and yet

Meanwhile..... the men's team continues to wallow.. 54 years I the wilderness!

Just sayin!

I will

Pi ss off mate this is a thread dedicated to Daisy for her achievment and incredible work for the clubs womans team. I have the utmost respect for her.

Got nothing better to say? Simply don't comment at all.

Your a sad old individual mate.

We don't need to do that, you're making a fool of yourself all on your own.


The speech from Daisy was a ripper though. The link between our club pioneering so many things was terrific and she really is a tremendous spokeswoman for women's footy. If she continues to play a part then it can only be a good thing for the code going forward.

54? Might want to check your maths.

Picket's not very optimistic in case you hadn't noticed Chris. I reckon he chalked up the next few years of us not winning already.

Sorry Daisy. Great speech. Well done today also.

As I said "Noteworthy effort" Christ what else is there to say!

As I said "Political Correctness" reigns supreme!

Well done Daisy, in fact if truth be known I reckon you would get a game with the MFC!

Sheeit , how noteworthy would that be! Eh?

Happy all

This is very strange. What the hell has my original post got to do with "political correctness"? It would seem that some people in our society are so threatened by women achieving things that they jump up and down when women do something really good and are rightly lauded for it. It's just plain weird, and I don't get it. The thread has been railroaded by a twisted agenda that I can't respect.

If you go back to the OP I was just really impressed by Daisy Pearce and you have managed to turn it in to some weird hangup about women. I'll say it again, it's WEIRD!!

Well done Daisy, fine ambassador for the Women in footy!!

Why on earth is it suddenly political correctness when the best & fairest winner who happens to play for the MFC women's team is afforded a thread to celebrate her achievement? Bizarre.

Ok! Agree, great speech!

Why are we involved in this at all!?

Do Hawks?? Freo?? Adelaide Have an interest and have womens teams?? Nup!

So lets put ALL our energies into the MFC eh!

That's my point!

Sheeit I have lauded her for her achievements what more do you all want!

Daisy is the captain of the MFC.

Can't get much more MFC than that...

Ok! Agree, great speech!

Q !Why are we involved in this at all!?

Do Hawks?? Freo?? Adelaide Have an interest and have womens teams?? Nup!

Why not??

So lets put ALL our energies into the MFC eh!

Why not be involved, as Daisy points out we are responsible for various innovations in the game, why not this one.

Not sure what you mean by concentrating on the MFC, she is the captain of the MFC for crying out loud.

The AFL are also taking steps to build a women's league over the next few years, why not be involved and help drive this, or do the women not deserve it?

 

Cheezus......... 51 years since our last Grand Final Win!

I think we all deserve something just a tad more!

But,...!!?

Stop posting on Demonland.

Leave the poor silly bugger alone. You know as soon as he raised "political correctness" nothing sensible or even rational was coming. For those who love the game, a national women's competition is a great idea and the year of MFC's next premiership is an entirely different matter.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
