Tokenism. She seems like a nice lady. But it's just tokenism.
Daisy Pearce is horrid.

i dont agree necessarily. although its bloody hard doing a show with kids i must say. she seems to speak before formulating what she is going to say, hence the pauses. Although she is definitely NOT alone with this trait. Seasoned afl personalities are much worse.

I rarely watch much footy now on TV (only Geelong games)- so dont see much of her.
But kudos where kudos is due- she was good on the BL last night. 100% improvement from last year when she was like a deer in headlights. Well done.

Have met her a number of times both before and since her media/aflw career took off and she’s an awesome person + great ambassador for the game.
Last year (understandably) she was a bit shaky on BL night but thought she did pretty well last night

She has interviewed ash Barty. It will appear on tv or radio I understand.

Not sure what Brownlow you guys were watching but she was shocking as per usual. She’s just so damn awkward when interviewing people.

You mean like when Tom Hawkins got suspended, she interviewed him post match and did not even mention it? That’s negligent journalism
What was she supposed to say. "Gee Tom, that was a decent whack you handed out, reckon you'll get games?"
He stands there unable to answer.
So forums and Twitter goes into meltdown at her then asking a question like that. Can't win.
Reckon a few just get stuck into her for sport. She knows her stuff and is learning all the time.

It’s negligent to not ask the question in that moment and any decent media personality would have. That was all the public wanted to hear at that point in time and Fox footy even called her out for it and made a point of asking him in the rooms after.
I’m not interested in getting stuck into her for sport just think she’s had a long enough crack at it and there’s plenty more capable candidates out there (this applies to 70% of channel 7’s boys club commentary team too).

Yep, comes across really well. Rather watch and listen to her than the rest of the complete spankers that stain my screen with absolute dribble week in, week out. Her lack of ego is also refreshing.

I thought she made the show watchable. differently better than half of channel 7's so called talent.

Each to their own, we can definitely agree that channel 7’s talent pool is pretty thin across the board, especially on match day.

But that is the problem, the talent at 7 is so poor there is no pressure to up the standards. I'm not saying Daisy is great because she isn't but I would have her ahead of some of the others at 7.
I haven't paid much attention to her, but in view of the fact she hasn't annoyed the hell out of me, I'd say I have no problem with her …. unlike a number of other media people (mostly male) who have been in the game for years and still have no idea.

Yeah, unlike the blokes on the boofhead gravy train.
Ahh, yes, the boys club.

Daisy is great on that SEN morning radio show where she takes phone calls from Auskick kids. Speaks to them on their level without sounding condescending or awkward, where as men generally do when they have to talk to random kids for more than 1 minute. Not easy to get kids to engage in conversation outside yes and no answers, but she manages to make it as cringeless as possible. I reckon Kindy or PS teacher is her true calling.
You mustn’t have heard her interviewing Tiarna Ernst. It was cringeworthy.
I don’t like too many commentators if I’m being fair, I really enjoyed Nathan Buckley’s special comments before he was back at Collingwood though his voice is quite monotone as well as Daisy Pierce.
I cant stand listening to her voice. Nothing to do with her being female. Happy for Shelley Ware or Mel McLauchlan to give it a crack at presenting AFL on Fox Footy or Ch 7.
Can’t disagree.
Daisy’s opinions are fine and her down-to-earth persona is refreshing. It’s just the voice for me.

She’s very good on game comments. They really should try moving her into the box. Just not a good interviewer like many footy player media people. Ling, Richo are crap at it as well.
The interviews after a game should be done by a journo.
