I wish Daisy every success, but I'm so disappointed that we have not been able to bring her "home".

At least she’s out of Geelong.

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?

They don’t deserve her, can’t even keep a cricket pitch dry.

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,690]

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?😉

[BDA 23,048]

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. 

[Lexinator 1,931]

Well done Daisy, all the best except against us, even then I won't be that upset 😊

[FarNorthernD 5,863]

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

[poita 3,944]

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.

[dl4e 5,851]

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

[DubDee 26,674]

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.
