A premiership player at last, Melbourne's Daisy Pearce lets her guard down in celebration of the Demons' breakthrough AFLW flag.

abc.net.au/news/daisy-pearce-melbourne-demons-aflw-grand-final/101704154Melbourne captain Daisy Pearce has said she's not contemplating retirement after leading her side to a breakthrough AFLW premiership.

Pearce, who has been marketed as the face of AFLW since its inception, said she had been "uncomfortable" with the amount of focus on her in the lead-up. "In here, all that happens to me is the shit is taken out of me, I'm the butt of everyone's jokes. It's no coincidence that I keep coming back here and playing."In an uncharacteristically unguarded moment, Pearce also appeared to take a swipe at the clubs who had sought to raid the Demons' list during the competition's expansion.

Crime continues in the streets of Iran. The government is trying to normalize, but it is committing violent murders in various cities. By broadcasting football news, they try to hide the crimes that happened. Executions and killings continue in Iran. Mehsaamini FIFAWorldCup

Odd that there's no final score in this report.

How does a game that generates no revenue, hardly no one but close friends and family watches, and played by people that nobody has heard of, have ‘legends’?

they need to make the aflw grounds smaller, like by a quarter. This would make it more exciting. Congrats, Daisy!

Daisy is a valuable player for her club and the AFLW, but to say she is an 'AFLW Legend' is premature, very premature. Let the AFLW League, and her, develop with time and then the AFLW can assign 'legend' status.

Barely 2 goals apiece

Some people on here bagging the aflw. Disgraceful! Look at the soccer world cup,grown men rolling around on the ground pretending to be hurt. AFLW players are way tougher than mens soccer players.

‘We only scored 2 goals in the GF.’ ‘Wow, how much did you lose by?’ ………..SMH

😴😴😴😴

What happens if they get no-balled? Sorry wrong game.

All hundred people in the crowd must have been sooo happy! NoOneWatches NoOneCares

Overrated hack in an overrated league.
