    Yep, me too. 

    Very happy for her. Not so happy for us.

    Maybe could have been offered an assistant coaches role with our men's team?

    Note she sees the Eagles role as enabling her to 'continue [her] development as a coach'.

    So, perhaps back to us when that job's done?😉

    Didn't think she would take this role but good luck to her.

    I've no doubt that when the time comes to find a replacement for Mick Stinnear she'll be at the front of the queue and hot favourite to take over.

    Massive call on a personal / family level to move to WA, rather than taking up one of the available jobs in Victoria.

    Maybe she wasn't offered it, but I would have had Hawthorn as a far more attractive proposition for a first time coach than West Coast.

    Good luck to Daisy - she'll need it.

    It will be very interesting to see how she goes as head coach of a poor West Coast.

    Go Daisy! Earn your stripes and get experiences around the AFL world. Come back to the Dees in a few years and dominate.

    We love 💙❤️Daisy but seriously… give it a rest 

     

    The move to Perth went smoothly and while Pearce missed her family and consistent coffee, there was no love lost for Melbourne’s fickle weather.

    “We’re an adventurous, outdoors family ... my kids can ride to school every single morning because there’s not sideways hail three months a year,” she laughed.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
