Spot on.I get the feeling he may be put back to the VFL and will kick on from there. It wouldn't be a statement on his quality, more his age and readiness. If anything he's shown that he can clunk them against AFL defenders, and that he's willing to compete.
Get the feeling he'll return to the VFL and start to absolutely dominate.
Still on track.On track to be the only 400 game player to never lose a game.
We got lucky w interruptions to his junior development.Dear (pick 56) vs Cadman (pick 1) is an interesting comparison. Excited player Calsher, will be an extremely tough match up when Lewis and Chol get on the park.
He only had eyes for the ball! A wonderful trait for a marking forward!Guessing Calsh was told "if you can't mark it then bring it to ground" and he took it too literally. Another case of our young players being too coachable!

Also said his GPS numbers have never been higher than in the last 2 games. I'm assuming he's including his VFL games in the count lolMitchell said at the press conference Dear was substituted due to only wanting Bruest on. He did every thing that was asked of him in game.
That’s how I took it, “ including 2024 VFL games”.Also said his GPS numbers have never been higher than in the last 2 games. I'm assuming he's including his VFL games in the count lol
I only say that because I imagine Chol will be back, not that the sub was a statement on him.Mitchell said at the press conference Dear was substituted due to only wanting Bruest on. He did every thing that was asked of him in game.
His contested marking feels like a real weapon. So natural and sticky hands.Dear could be our CHF, lead up clunker, in time.. We badly need another tall deep so he doesn’t have to run back all the time.
It's going to be a few years before he starts hitting his strides, but I'm very bullish on Calsher Dear's future and potential. What he has shown in two games has outstripped what I thought we would see from him through his first 2/3 seasons.
Today was not his fault at all. And I thought he fought gallantly considering he was being asked to mark about half a dozen times up on the wing in a contested situation versus two capable, experienced defenders in Wilkie and Battle. He may not play next week, as his body will no doubt be feeling the impacts of such a contested battle today, but I hope he and Lewis can get up for next week. It'd be great to see them play together at least once this season, and we would need it to beat Port next week.
My only real question about Calsher is whether he will be a true CHF or a third-tall. I think he can be a CHF, but he may well be Gunston's spiritual and literal successor as the third tall up forward.
Not sure Ramsden is gonna be apart of that, that early. Chol would well and truly still be there and ahead. Happy to be proven wrong.Our forward line 2025
Watson Lewis Moore
Ginnivan Ramsden Dear
MacDonald mid / fwd rotations
Yea, agree, don't see what others see in Ramsden. Chol would be a good slippery customer as third tall with Cal and Mitch taking the Key backs.Not sure Ramsden is gonna be apart of that, that early. Chol would well and truly still be there and ahead. Happy to be proven wrong.
