Just watching Daisy and Nat on the AFL website: how good Daisy is!! Unlike the men: no ego, no rubbish, just great sense and analysis. Whether she has the material to be a head coach, I don’t know, but if she doesn’t want to confine herself to media work, there is a huge role for her in analysis/ strategy.

Agree totally.

She shares brilliant analysis during games while keeping the hysterics that many of the blokes are guilty of out of her call.

Would be very interested in how she is spoken about behind closed doors in regards to any coaching ability she may possess.

 

Extremely impressive young lady.

Absolutely! 
Has to be a place for a strategic mind like that in an AFL coaching panel

In the interim yes she is one of the quickest and best explainers of what is going on in a game going around

Meh ... Who'd want to coach.
She's probably on 200k and works a few hrs a week for 6mths of the year.
Perfect for a mum with young kids.

She’s just a ripper.

I remember in the inaugural draft she said to Gill Mclachlan “if you make me play for any team that isn’t the Dees, then I’m not playing”

I love that she’s ours.

Absolutely.

Sometimes I actually fear for her job as she insists on displaying intelligence in a pool full of imbeciles.

Couple years ago I posted on social media she was the best Special Comments in the business.
Got poo poo'd mostly.
No-one declared who was better though.

Leppitsch says she's the one he listens too.

I reckon that's pretty good praise.

Would like to see her play as a captain and assistant coach, possibly looking after the forward line. With a lead up to being the head coach of MFC AFLW when she finishes playing.

Not one iota of cliquey, ol boy, locker room banter

That's what makes her comments so easy to listen to. They actually add something to your knowledge about how a game is progressing that you may not have otherwise known.

And zero bogan b.s. (hi Brian, hope you are getting better)

When I mentioned her potentially being a coach or having another role, I wasn’t talking about in women’s football…

Considering how our club has become all about culture and example setting, she’s going to be on its payroll for a long long time, in whatever capacity.

I have this feeling that she will become the women’s head coach for Melbourne some time in the future. She has a passion for the game and communicates really well.

Spot on OP.  She puts others in the commentary box to shame.

In fact, I’ve noticed that one of the rare times BT tones down the idiocy is when he is talking to her.

She’s way too classy to be a ch. 7 commentator. No way she’d do the trying to make it sound exciting even when one team is 20 goals up thing. Nor would she engage in the contrived banter like the other buffoons. But as for special comments she’s head and shoulders above the rest of them. I actually learn a bunch from Daisy’s input.

I believe Daisy, Leppitsch, Bartel and J Watson are the best at the special comments role. They all have one thing in common - recently out of the game (or still playing, in Daisy's case) as either player or coach. And it shows in the commentary which is more about strategy than the efforts of individual players (which is the "go to" of the commentators longer out of the game, such as Wayne Carey and Matthew Richardson).

The players obviously respect her. After all she has been/is a legend of Women's Footy and has a brain. She was probably born 10 years too early. Imagine her coming into the current draft ( She would be a female Robby Flower)

She at least asks Footy Questions/Issues, not the crap that comes out of some commentators (with Faux burnt tongues) mouths.

There has been a reasonable number of complaints on here about media analysis, game callers etc. From myself and many others.

The AFL media Association has just announced Daisy Pearce as the winner of the 2021 Best Opinion/Analyst Award.

Justly deserved and how good is that.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
