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.

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 :)

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.

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!!

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...

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?

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
