Daisy Pearce unites Australian AFLW squad in pre‑match camp

Daisy Pearce led a connection activity on the first night of the Australian women's AFL (AFLW) camp ahead of the sport's inaugural international match against Ireland. The exercise asked each player to share a photo representing a key moment in their football journey, prompting rapid bonding among athletes who had previously been opponents.

The activity helped shift the atmosphere from uncertainty to camaraderie, easing the transition as players such as Chloe Molloy, Courtney Hodder, Ella Roberts and Monique Conti moved from club rivals to teammates in the national side.
