    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.

     At 35yo I honestly believe she could be the first female coach of an AFL team. I so hope that happens

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Casey Demons secured their first win of the season by the narrow margin of four points against the Box Hill Hawks at Casey Fields on Easter Sunday morning.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
