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: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
