About Daisy Pearce
- Daisy Pearce (born 27 May 1988) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Melbourne Football Club in the AFL Women's (AFLW).
- Widely regarded as the face of women's Australian rules football and one of its first ambassadors, Pearce served as Melbourne captain in the competition's first two seasons, having also captained the club in the women's exhibition games staged prior to the creation of the league.
- She also served as captain of Darebin in the Victorian Women's Football League (VWFL) and VFL Women's (VFLW) from 2008 to 2016. Since she began her senior playing career in 2005, Pearce is a ten-time premiership player (seven as captain), six-time Helen Lambert Medallist (and inaugural winner of the VFL Women's best and fairest award in 2016, which was later co-named the Lambert–Pearce Medal in her honour) and five-time Darebin best and fairest winner at VWFL/VFLW level.
- She also represented Victoria three times at both senior and under-19 level, and was selected by Melbourne with the first selection in the inaugural national women's draft in 2013. Pearce was drafted by Melbourne in 2016 as a marquee signing prior to the inaugural AFL Women's season, and was named its inaugural captain.
- In her two completed AFLW seasons to date, Pearce has twice been voted AFLW Players' best captain, and is a dual AFL Women's All-Australian (as captain in the 2017 team and vice-captain in the 2018 team) and dual Melbourne best and fairest winner.
- She also captained Victoria in the inaugural AFL Women's State of Origin match in 2017, where she was adjudged best afield.
- Pearce missed the 2019 season due to pregnancy. After becoming a household name in the football world, Pearce also became an established media performer in both television and radio.
- She is currently a boundary rider for the Seven Network and 1116 SEN, covering AFL and AFLW matches; she has also appeared on the Seven Network program AFL Game Day as a rotating panel member since 2016 and hosted her own podcast on SEN, This Is Grit, since 2019.
