Daisy Pearce calls time on a stellar career

Redleg

There is a press conference at 10.30 this morning and one could guess it’s a retirement announcement.

If she does retire, well done on a great footy career, as a pioneer of the AFLW and in the game of women’s footy.

The cherry on top of the cake would have to be the Dees first AFLW flag as Captain.

    She's holding it together well so far. I'll be surprised if there are no tears at all.

    Bowing out as the captain of the reigning premiers. Very fitting.

    What a champion she is.

    What a great way to go out: as Captain of the Premiership team. A great player, commentator and leader. Well done Daisy!

    What a champion of our club, so glad she got to win a flag with us.

    Hopefully she doesn't spend too long at Geelong!

    Should be the first AFLW Legend !!

    Having said that her press Conference showed a lot of respect for her as a person.

    Well done on a great career Mk1.

    She’s an icon. A fantastic footballer who played a key role in getting women’s footy on the map. In the early years she was such a clear level above everyone else out on the field. Watching her was inspiring. She’s a great role model and leader, and you can see her drive and the strength of the relationships she builds. It’s no surprise she found success.

    She’s also been brilliant in the media helping to raise the profile of women not just in AFL but sport in general, even standing up to some big names at times. Great footy brain and one of the best commentators going round.

    All the best for the next chapter Daisy. You’re an MFC legend now.

    A true club champion. We should all be proud of what she gave to the club and womens football. Will be sorely missed.

    The right call.

    Just an awful shame she’s off to the evil taxpayer funded empire. 
     

    55 games drastically undersells her massive impact on the game

    Possibly. Libby Birch or Maddy Gay I reckon.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
