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: 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?
