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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
