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.

    Why don’t you think it was a coincidence?

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
