Daisy Pearce’s big wrap for Brisbane

Melbourne AFLW superstar Daisy Pearce says Brisbane is the team that has impressed her the most so far this season.

The Lions currently sit second on the ladder, making a gradual trajectory over the last several weeks to cement themselves within the top four - and as a genuine premiership contender in 2019.

The two-time Melbourne best and fairest winner believes that there's every chance the young Brisbane side could win their first premiership since their coveted three-peat from 2001-2003.

“It’s probably Brisbane,” Pearce told SEN Breakfast.

“If you look at it in terms of consistency across the year and the scalps that they’ve had.

“Someone might say: ‘What about Rounds 9-11?’, and I’m happy to be proven wrong. But on gut feel … Brisbane’s the one that on consistency are it.

“We just keep wanting more to be convinced, but they’re the team I think, and they can absolutely win it.”

Brisbane are on track for their first finals appearance since 2009.

The Lions finished 15th in 2018, and have had a remarkable surge up the ladder this season.

They face Hawthorn at the University of Tasmania Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
