Nice little article on her success in a "men's" industry.

Big fan of Daisy so I thought I would share.

I noticed in the article she is 30, while that may be anise for the men's AFL.  I think the way women's is played over such a short period of time she'll be playing for a lot of years yet for us.  She won't have the wear and tear AFL men have by 30.

    She leaves all the other special comment"nuff nuff's" for dead. She is so insightful and to the point on all teams  just not the pro cats and hawk comments that some have.

    Daisy is a breath of fresh air. I get a kick out of seeing how she's leapt out of obscurity into the glamourous world of TV, radio, etc, and has handled it with aplomb. At the QB match it was great seeing her on the big stage rubbing shoulders with everyone and seemingly totally at ease with it all.

    As for the commentary ... she does this thing called "putting in the work" that most of the ex-player commentators don't do. They think that having played the game is enough. How did they get to the top of the playing world? Putting in the work. In the commentary world, the same thing applies. It doesn't just happen. But the standards of the trophy collecting TV stations are so low, they're happy just to have "Lingy" and his ilk hanging around, not to mention their encouragement of the stupid antics of the roaming f***wit.

    Agree. And whats more it is clear she does her own research and prepares super well for her special comments role. Unlike almost all others.

    It amazes actually how clueless footy commentators seem to be eg about teams, players, stats etc etc

    Puff pieces on Demons never work out well for us.

    Expect her to have a shocker on the boundary tonight, mumbling plenty of words and a possible wardrobe malfunction.

    I think she's doing ok but she has a long way to go to reach the heights of Dixie Marshall.

    Dixie Marshall enjoyed her times with all the male attention, she speaks fondly of it.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
