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?

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

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

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
