So Daisy has been accepted into the Women’s Coaching Academy - The only one of the seven selected who is an active player and not a current coach or assistant coach.

I am a total fan of her as a commentator; I think she is by far the best analyst of them all. Let’s hope she can end up as a coach, perhaps even the senior coach of our men’s team in due course? Or at the very least, as a strategist/analyst.

 

why not, she analyses the game a lot better than the vast majority of so called "experts" in the industry. But here's hoping she gets to play in our first AFLW premiership before venturing down the coaching path.

People talk about the great culture we currently have at our club. Daisy is an integral part of that.

I think she could replace Mick Stinear at some stage and would be a great coach

 

Add to list of things that are close to inevitable and also very good.

Not many things on that list but always nice to add something.

Loved the way she explained to that buffoon BT that the reason why Langdon had kicked the ball past Pickett to the next contest (in the 3rd qtr) was because it allowed the defence to roll up and intercept in a much better field position if the contest was lost. On cue the Dogs win the ball back and kick it to just back of the wing and May intercepts. No wonder BT is limited to "wow" "gee" comments. In one of the other commentaries (Carey I think) it is mentioned about how disciplined the Dees are in not kicking to the fat side where if they turn it over it is a much easier transition out for the opposition. Daisy has a great understanding of all this and is very good at explaining it.

To be honest, it is possible that in the long term, she might be the first woman to coach an AFL team. You have to be slightly insane to take it on, and I don't know if she has the madness, but she has every other attribute.

YES  Daisy can be the Senior Coach of the MFC.

She is as smart as a whip!

Need more ladies coaching AFLW teams with prolong success before taking on the mens competition.

She is without a doubt one of the hardest working players in either AFL or AFLW, she knows football as well as anyone i have spoken to, given time, encouragement and the right environment and she could easily  be anything. It would be a crime if we didnt offer her a job as soon as she hangs up the boots.

If she wants it ... Less aggravation doing commentary. Equally though, she wouldn't be doing the course if she didn't have ambitions in that direction.

No doubt she will be the Coach of the Demons W team before too long.  Has all the tools and is a pioneer.  She would be throwing away a fair bit of money in the media though, her role with 7 will only grow.

A woman coaching an AFL men's team? it's hard to imagine but things change huh? obviously no reason why not but it'll take some time for that to happen I reckon

Joyce Brown, who coached Australia in netball with phenomenal success (and is the mother of former Carlton player Fraser Brown) was at one stage in the 90s being touted as a serious candidate for coaching an AFL team.

Her insights are top-notch, she obviously understands the game but we don;t know if she'll be a good coach yet. Eventually a woman will break through and coach a mens team and I would love if it was Daisy

She should be able to do both the AFLW coaching and channel 7 commitments as the seasons don't really overlap.

Aside from her obvious acumen in football strategy, I think she's also got the other key (or perhaps even more important) ingredient of the people/relationships aspect of coaching. The number of players on our AFLW list and, in fact, in the AFLW at large who are there in some part because of Daisy is impressive - not just in the general inspiration sense but because she actively recruited them. She's obviously very capable of sharing a vision and getting people on board to fulfill a mission, surely a major part of coaching. In a way, because of how women's footy has developed, she's been a coach since her days at Darebin. Also is very astute in dealing with the politics involved in being a figurehead, being the first, etc.

Being a senior coach is as much about managing people as it is about tactics.

If she ticks those boxes, her gender becomes irrelevant. 

Have no doubt she will end up coaching, her comments in the third quarter I think where a passage of play with Landon running with the ball and had to choose between kozzie short or Tmac long even that muppet BT just said wow and she was right.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
