“I just still love it. It’s still the highlight of the week,other than coming home to our beautiful family,to go down to footy training.
“It[the losing grand final] will drive me coming into this next season,to go close then ultimately not be good enough. The Crows were just too good on the day. That will burn through the next couple of months when we have to gear up again.”
Cats head of football Simon Lloyd said the club remained interested in Pearce.
“We are always open to Daisy joining the Cats,if interested. She has a great future post playing in whichever areas she chooses to pursue,” he said.
Pearce had been approached by several clubs for a coaching position,with the Cats having been in advanced discussions to secure her services.
Essendon had offered Pearce the position of being the club’s inaugural AFLW coach,but she turned that down.
