Daisy Pearce is the Melbourne Demons captain.
AFLW superstar Daisy Pearce has announced she is pregnant with twins.
Pearce, captain of the Melbourne Football Club and considered one of the best players in the country, shared a photo of her ultrasound via Instagram on Friday. The twins will be her first children.
The Demons skipper and midfielder will miss the 2019 AFLW season set to begin in February.
"Ben and I made two little humans (refer to grey blobs and use your imagination). ETA March 2019," Pearce wrote on Instagram.
The two-time All Australian has been an outspoken critic of the AFL in recent times, as the league floated plans to reduce the length of the AFLW season in 2019 despite the fact there will be more teams in the competition.
“It doesn’t sit well with me or a lot of the players,” Pearce told SEN. “I get there is a commercial reality that they want to keep this competition within the … eight-week timeslot.
“(But) I thought when those two new teams came in … we are going to get a legitimate competition here, will play everyone once and head into a final series.
“The reason I guess it annoys me is this is presented as the female elite professional offering by the AFL,” she said.
“In reality, this is a gimmicky tournament.”
