Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Calsher Dear! Rising star nom!

[GinniAndTonic]

Which is one established AFL forward we can compare Dear with once he reaches his ceiling. I got-sta know

I’d say and this is just my opinion maybe a taller Charlie Curnow

Wow. I'd be rapt. Just hope he doesn't get injured like Charlie.

I reckon Jono Brown. Will be an absolute beast of a man in a few years time.

Modern version with sharper reaction time, definitely agree on his frame.

My take is he’ll be a different beast to anyone we’ve seen, with a sprinkling of Franklin goal kicking potency.

Calsher’s intensity is something else. You could see it in his 360 interview. He’s just driven to succeed, and quick to see ways to score and impact the game.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Calsh's 1%ers are something i have never seen. He's Cyril like

 

[mustang]

Because we have no key forwards.

Dear and Gunston and Chol at least forces defenders to split. Gunston amd Chol doesnt, and Chol rarely takes marks when tag teamed.

At the moment you would have to think Chol is the one to play BH when Dear and Lewis are back, if Gunston can kick 3 goals or more each week you can't drop him in that form.

Chol is handy, can be our back up ruck as well. I think if he has form he will retain his spot.

We do not want Dear or Lewis in the ruck.

Lets wait til Lewis plays 4 games in a row.

Chol is an awesome 2nd forward and backup ruck. I dont think we want to be depending on Gunston.

Like last yr when he leapt high and kept the ball in (otherwise it would've been a point) then pounced on the ball and kicked a terrific goal.

 

[The Chad and I]

Sometimes Dear plays like a bigger Gunston.
Sometimes he looks like he will be the next monster KPF.

But his ground ball pressure is something I haven't seen from a KPF.
Buddy and Roughy were pretty decent at it, but not anywhere near as fanatical as Dear.

 

[Hawked Wings]

Calsher became one of my favourite players last year but everyone needs to be patient. 2-3 vfl games and then 3-4 afl games before he hits his straps again

 

[I wanna pash Nash]

Gives you so much admiration for Calsh and his family. Can't wait to see him back in the VFL next week. Deserves everything good in life.

Yeah, that brought a year to my eye, what a wonderful kid, speaks so well and so maturely, his dad would be so proud.

And on the third round he rose again.

 

[parsons nose]

His Dad was as strong as an ox. For those old enough to remember the 1991 grand final, he took a great mark in the goal square at one point and the umpire inexplicably called for a ball up. Punka was not impressed. At the time of the call he was lying underneath a pack of players, whom he basically bench pressed off himself to remonstrate with the umpire.

Massive legs.

Meek-level legs

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Here’s hoping Calsher dominates the next two weeks at VFL and returns to seniors asap! God knows we have missed him!

And then there was the time he and Dermie crunched Chris McDermott in one of the all time shirt fronts. Probably on you tube somewhere.

At some point the media needs to stop asking Calshier about his dad's passing at every single opportunity.
Respect and acknowledgement should be on his terms, not as an attempt to introduce emotion and nostalgia to every moment, victory, and milestone.

I do not like defending the media, but this time the questions are asked due to the Dare to hope charity run by his mum and family!

"at some point"
Last season it was a constant reference.

I get it.
I feel the emotion of it too.
But there's a respectful boundary to these things.
Maybe it's just my sensibilities...
