Daisy Pearce calls time on a stellar career

Redleg
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
