Dees skipper’s inspirational milestone
When it comes to dealing with pressure and expectation, Demons skipper Kate Hore has had her moments.
One that stands out from the rest was when she took over the captaincy from AFLW great Daisy Pearce, who remains among her strongest influences.
Hore has since grown into one of the AFLW’s most-respected captains and leading players, and on Friday night she will run out for her 100th game – becoming the first Demon to do so.
“Has Daisy Pearce been a big influence on my career?” Hore repeated with a laugh when asked about Pearce.

Concerned by three clubs remaining winless midway through the AFLW season, competition boss Laura Kane won’t rule out assistance packages for battling Essendon, Collingwood and St Kilda.

“Clearly we don’t want to see that in our competition,” Kane said on Wednesday.
“I’ve said this a number of times: we want the bottom to get better. The top is really good.
