Aussie rules pioneer Daisy Pearce has announced her retirement after six seasons in the AFLW.
The 34-year-old said as she resumed training for the next season, she felt completely content in what she had achieved in the sport in a way she had never experienced before.
“That chapter of my life is a full one,” she said, after winning the Demons’ maiden AFLW premiership last season.
“I’m closing a chapter on my playing career with a very full heart.
“I will miss the whole program and players and staff … this has probably been the hardest thing in making this decision.
“It has been an emotional time.”
Pearce gave birth to twins in 2019 and said she looked forward to being able to focus more on her young family.
Football fans will still be seeing plenty of Pearce, as she has also established herself as a leading television commentator.
More to come.
