Daisy takes up Geelong coaching role

Lord Travis
in AFLW Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
