West Coast AFLW coach Daisy Pearce has committed her future to the club, signing a two-year contract extension as the Eagles continue their steady rise under her leadership.

The extension comes after a period of significant growth for the program, with Pearce citing her belief in the playing group, the club's investment in AFLW and the progress made over the past three seasons as key reasons behind her decision.

"You can obviously see where the group's heading and I've got a lot of belief in where the group can go," Pearce said.

"We've seen a lot of improvement over the last three years and we're really aware we need to keep working hard to take the next step.

"It's a team I want to be a part of."

Pearce said the support from the club and the resources surrounding the AFLW program made West Coast the ideal place to continue her coaching journey.

"We're a really well-resourced program, we've got a great team around me of coaches and the staff are incredible and hardworking," Pearce said.

"It's the best place for me to try and develop a team and keep developing as a coach."

Reflecting on her own development since arriving at the Eagles, Pearce said she had grown considerably as a coach while helping shape a young and emerging list.

"My confidence is growing all the time, and I feel like I'm much better positioned to go into these next couple of years,” Pearce said.

"I'm ambitious and have a lot of belief in the talent we've got and the culture that we've been able to keep adding to."

With her future secured, Pearce's attention now turns to Saturday's Pride Round clash with Geelong at Sullivan Logistics Stadium.

The Cats have emerged as one of the competition's strongest teams this season and Pearce expects a significant challenge from a side that thrives around the contest and controls possession well.

"They've been strong, they have always been super talented and been thereabouts for the last couple of years," Pearce said.

"You can tell they have taken their game to another level, so we're excited for the challenge."

Pearce said improving the Eagles' pressure and tackling after last week's narrow loss to Port Adelaide would be critical against Geelong's skilful ball movement.

"We were a bit off last week. We didn't lay enough tackles and it's hard to win games of footy like that," Pearce said.

"It's going to be extra important this week against Geelong with the way they like to play."

Ruck Charlotte Riggs will again have an important role to play after continuing to impress in her first season as a primary ruck.

Now preparing for her 10th game in the role, Pearce said the emerging Eagle's willingness to take the game on remained one of her greatest strengths.

“To have someone who rucks but is just as effective at ground level and is quite powerful when she drives her legs,” Pearce said.

“We want to see her keep doing it, she's a skilful and creative player, she'll keep learning.”

The Cats also boast one of the competition's strongest midfield groups, led by stars Georgie Prespakis and Nina Morrison.

While Geelong's ball-winning strength has been a focus in West Coast's preparation, Pearce said the Eagles won't be making huge changes to their approach.

"Last year Prespakis was a big focus for us and Emma Swanson did a big job on her, so we've considered that this week and we'll keep an eye on it," Pearce said.

"We've just got to be cleaner, first to the ball and make sure we don't collapse in."
