Hailing from country Victoria, Daisy Pearce is a pioneer of Women's Football in Australia. One of the AFLW's premier stars she has been at the forefront of the fast-expanding women's game since its launch on the national stage in 2016.
With the AFLW only in its infancy, Daisy already boasts an astounding resume. Captain of the Melbourne Football Club's for the first two AFLW seasons (2017 & 2018) she won the Club's Best & Fairest in both of those years and was also named a 2x All-Australian representative. Daisy's resume extends off the field where she is an experienced media personality and a practicing mid-wife.
Current Work:
Expecting twins, Daisy sat out the 2019 AFLW season; her time, however, was not spent idle. She further established herself as an expert analyst for the Seven Network and was on radio for SEN. She continued her work at the Melbourne Football Club, taking on an off-field role mentoring the club's first-year players.
Daisy is a humble, grounded and caring character. With her passion for the game still strong, Daisy will be back on the field for her beloved Melbourne Football Club in 2020, with her young family cheering from the stands.
