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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
