Only 2019 saw her have a higher average hitout count at 19.8. She also had a higher average disposal count this season just gone of 14.4, as compared to her previous best of 12.7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is also able to win the ball off her own ruckwork, is versatile around the ground and can play like an extra midfielder, giving the Demons quite an advantage as compared to having a traditional ruck in Pearce\u2019s place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pearce\u2019s experience and leadership were recognised through her promotion to the Demons\u2019 leadership group for the 2022 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In relation to this countdown, Pearce was an almost unanimous choice on everyone\u2019s list, with everyone bar one including her in their top 50. One person ranked her as high as second, while someone else ranked her as low as 32nd. Most people ranked her at either 21st or 22nd, which saw her finish in 20th in this countdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ROOKIE ME CENTRAL&#8217;S 2022 AFL WOMEN&#8217;S TOP
