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

https://www.whimn.com.au/strength/happiness/daisy-pearce/news-story/4fae3cfe90f04c7c08d849f2acfbd527

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
