Daisy Pearce calls time on a stellar career

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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
