Pearce has been a rotating panel member on the Seven Network program AFL Game Day since 2016 and is a boundary rider for Seven on television and 1116 SEN on radio, covering AFL and AFLW matches.
She was a boundary rider for Seven's coverage of the AFL Grand Final in 2018 and 2019.
In 2018, Pearce began appearing on the SEN morning shows SEN Breakfast (with Garry Lyon and Tim Watson) and Whateley (with Gerard Whateley), and in 2019, she also began hosting This Is Grit, a weekly podcast series on SEN focusing on female sportspeople.
She previously provided special comments for Triple M in 2017 and has written columns for The Age.

After Tiffany Cherry hit out at the Nine Network in February 2018 for failing to stand up for gender equality after being replaced as host of the Nine program Women's Footy by Clint Stanaway, Pearce said that it was better to have both men and women involved in commentating and talking about the men's and women's competitions. "
I enjoy seeing men working across and well-informed football commentators talking about [women's football]... why can’t we see men working across the AFL Women’s competition?"
She said that if there was a belief that only women should call AFLW games and only men should call AFL games, "It’s almost as if we are taking a few steps back".

When reports emerged in August 2018 that the 2019 home-and-away season could be reduced from seven rounds to six, despite the AFL Women's competition expanding to ten teams and implementing a conference system and preliminary finals, Pearce was vocal in her opposition. "
It doesn't sit well with me or a lot of the players... I thought when those two new teams came in [...] I was rubbing my hands together thinking, 'We are going to get a legitimate competition here, we will play everyone once and head into a finals series, you beauty'... in reality, this is a gimmicky tournament".
The 2019 home-and-away season was eventually left at seven rounds.

Pearce was among several high-profile AFLW players to speak out during the 2020–2022 collective bargaining agreement negotiations in 2019, with Pearce supporting the AFL Players Association (AFLPA) and its efforts to grow the competition, saying that broader talks between the AFLPA and AFLW players would result in an agreement that would satisfy all players. "
To me, it's about building relationships with different stakeholders and having trust that if the AFL Players Association tell us that moving forward 'we're going to improve communications [...] because we’ve acknowledged there's some challenges with communicating with part-time girls', I trust that they’ll do that".
