Daisy takes up Geelong coaching role

Lord Travis
in AFLW Melbourne Demons

See article on afl website. I notice Melbourne as one of the clubs not listed with that role. Surely we could’ve put Daisy in it and kept her at the club post playing career?

    I thought she'd changed her mind and was going to play on again?

    Every player leaves their club. Some learn new things elsewhere and come back.     I think it's a great decision to leave

    Geelong: Daisy Pearce (current Melbourne player and captain)

     

    So she plays for Melbourne and coaches Geelong. Absolutely bizarre. How does the club allow that?

    She takes up the coaching role at the end of the AFLW season when she hangs up the boots.

    "Pearce has one of nine positions across the AFLW, with the successful women able to take the up the minimum two-year role between now and 2025, allowing the Demons star and other AFLW players to continue playing if desired".

    Oh well...good luck to her. You can't really begrudge her, albeit a disappointing result for us

    Would be mad if they didn't go after her.

    ...interesting to see if that's what she is after though.

    Media commitments and coaching in the mens program, interesting times for Daisy.

    Hawks trying to punch multiple of our players.

    Their coach ‘shock’ retirement.

    West Coast chasing Daisy.

    Can I bet on Daisy coaching the Hawks next year?

    She's settled in country Vic. I can't see Daisy moving across to WA.

    Plus i reckon she's learning more coaching a mens team than jumping back to AFLW now

    Hopefully not punching them, just pinching.

    Nice conspiracy theory DS, Libby and Daisy are close.   Time will tell 😎.

    Funny how Geelong AFLW knew how to play us in the finals, I don’t think that it was a coincidence. Daisy is going to be a very good coach wherever she ends up.

    Hi TheWiz Cats would have used Daisy’s knowledge of our game plan and team to beat us. Just as they did against our men’s side last year with our Casey ex-coach and our former runner in their camp both had intimate knowledge of all our moves, strengths and weaknesses. Cats recruited our VFL Premiership coach and AFLW Premiership Captain to get better.!!

    Think there is a bit to this DeeZone but I also think that Adelaide and Brisbane also provided a bit of a blueprint on how to beat us. Physicality and pressure is our kryptonite. Beat us at the contest and pressure us to deny us our running game.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
