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?

 

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: Carlton

    Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    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.
