Truck or Teagues should grab a mic and walk into Geelong rooms before the game when we play them
The only person I'd let into the rooms from 7 would be Jobby Watson, our secrets would be safe with him.
I can see it now, Jobby reports back to Scott saying that the Tiges have quite a few whiteboards, and that they are writing in codes....Miro, Limnu and Mural.
They spend weeks trying to crack the code, not realising that Miro, Limnu and Mural are the whiteboard manufactures name.

No, I think Daisy did that herself by accepting a media role when she is on the coaching staff of an AFL club.
Leppa quit what would have been a lucrative media career as soon as he got the assistant coaching gig at the Pies.
Any other current assistant coaches with such a prominent role in the media?
Did it come across in the commentary that she was basically barracking for C'scum to get up?
Seemed all the special comments were C'word this, C'word that.
What they need to do etc.
Maybe I got it wrong.
Sour grapes for being denied access?

The Tigers’ senior advisor, Neil Balme, said the decision to deny Pearce access to their rooms for last week’s season-opener against Carlton was not personal, but suggested to radio station SEN the policy would be maintained throughout the season.
“But it’s just a thing that you don’t really want assistant coaches from other clubs hanging around rooms after games to see what they can find out.
“I know I’d trust her to the point that it’s not what she is there for.
“But you can’t do both jobs, so I think it’s reasonable of us to say that.”
Shocking and or Salty probably cooked the idea of hiring Pearce for the exact purpose of gaining Intel on other Clubs.
Tiger Balme explains decision to ban Daisy Pearce from rooms
Richmond says Daisy Pearce’s dual roles as an AFL television commentator and assistant coach at Geelong are untenable, and that is why they banned her from their change room on match days.The Tigers’ senior advisor, Neil Balme, said the decision to deny Pearce access to their rooms for last week’s season-opener against Carlton was not personal, but suggested to radio station SEN the policy would be maintained throughout the season.

Not a story?
ASSISTANT COACH FROM BAD GUYS NOT ALLOWED INTO OUR ROOMS
I think thats a story, right?
I mean it must be a new thing. Or rude. Or just not cricket. Amirite?
Balmey has spoken. I reckon plenty of other clubs will follow suit now.
Very pleased to read that we are all over this as a club, by not letting her in. And we are only seen as professional while 7 on the other hand are the opposite.
Perhaps they can get Daisy to do a few inside stories from the rooms for a Geelong on what it’s like to have to work with Salty and Shocking.

We should have let her in and invoked the "stand" rule, then given her a 50 meter penalty out of the rooms.
Agree.
It is appears to be patronising tokenism Ch7's part. Yeah, Daisy is an assistant at another club but she'll be right, what harm can she do going into another teams rooms after the game because she is only a woman. No issue from me regarding our club's response. Unlike Channel 7, we are treating Daisy with the respect her ability deserves.
FWIW, I think her insights into the game are better than most of her male commentator colleagues. And I would imagine that knowledge would translate well into a coaching role in the AFL.
