AFLW Daisy Pearce - New AFLW Coach

[Ochre]

Official announcement this morning apparently.

Deserves it own thread. Hugely respected name in football. Should hopefully add some much needed credibility to our women's program, and having someone like this in the building should help uplift the whole organisation

 

[kane249]

Huge step forward for the club with a high profile appointment like this, great move

 

[bzparkes]

Finally taking the women's program fully seriously. Good to see. Probably couldn't have founder a higher-profile signing for the role.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Probably the equivalent of the recruiting of Mick Malthouse in 1990, hopefully with similar results.

 

[swingdog]

Great move.

Can Daisy help out with the Mens team also ?

Can Daisy help out with the Mens team also ?

Why not? She did with Geelong this year.

More likely she does her media commitments over the regular AFL season though.

Yes , all up a great appointment by Nissy on his way out of the job !!

 

[FKASC]

Amazing news. Hopefully a turning point for the club

 

[Matera92]

Great appointment.

First, we stole Reid from them, and now Daisy. There will be a dark pall over Victoria today, as a sleeping giant stirs in the west.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Don’t know if she can coach at all, but there’s probably no bigger name in women’s footy than her and for a side that has been consistently bad and uninteresting they really could use the credibility and recruiting boost that will come from being led by Daisy Pearce.

 

[Bender_]

Impressive recruitment.

 

[Woutizmoo]

wow this is the best news i think i've ever heard about this womens team. what a step forward

 

[Spod]

Huge get and another sign that the club is starting to throw its weight around to get things back on track.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

I already like her better than that other one we had Prior

 

[Monocle]

Stoked with this appointment.

Exciting news for the young group of players on our list.

There hasn’t been a lot to get excited about with our woman’s program since inception, this bucks that trend.

Looking forward to seeing how this all pans out and the impetus that this appointment generates.

Quite a coup ….. and dare I say it :

“ A feather in our cap. “

 

[Yeahnahmate]

She is so passionate and enthusiastic about the game and was a champion player on the park. I think this is a great get for the whole organisation, well done Eagles

True, but have always found her to be knowledgeable and insightful on commentary and the radio, despite what some knuckle draggers instinctively say about females in commentary

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Tempering expectations.

She has bugger all coaching experience but is famous.

More coaching experience than Voss/Hird got before their first senior gigs.

Comparisons to those names make me want to temper those expectations even more.

As one of the first ones to play in the AFLW you'd think she'd also have some insight into building a functional, coherent team out of players with little experience playing together.
