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

[toomanysquibs]

Just to be clear. There was no journey for Cyril. He just was.......

Even Cyril had to be drafted, then play a game before we all saw his transition from mystery slider to Hawthorn God.

Not enough made of the lads first touch in the AFL.
Absolute Clunk on two opponents.

 

[Bedi]

Does that mean at the end of the year if Gunston retires we should be paying him to do some forward specialist coaching work for the following 12 months?

keep him on as a playing forward coach

 

[MightyHawks]

keep him on as a playing forward coach

Rookie List?

I was trying to find this again.

What precise time was it?

 

[Mr Lizard]

I was trying to find this again.

What precise time was it?

18:10 on the clock first quarter, 4:48 into the replay on AFL website

Frost marked on / over line, maybe he should've punched ...Calsh marks Frost's kick.

 

[theiaofseed]

I was trying to find this again.

What precise time was it?

Was within the first 2 minutes of the game, before their third goal. I think it was directly after Frost's mark on the goal line.

 

[Bugs1977]

There’s something to be said for a player who continually jumps at the ball like Calsher does.

Even the mark he took to kick his first, he tried to take it at the highest point by leaping to mark and twisting his body in flight.

This is a great trait to have for a key forward.

What do you expect with a surname like Dear. Even if it is spelt differently he definitely jumps around like one. I heard someone say that the reason he does this is due to his basketball background and the tendency to jump for rebounds on the very second play.

 

[Hens Hall]

Like what I saw. Still very raw but certainly a lot to work with!

In hindsight a pretty good team to debut against in the dogs as their backline is not much chop.

He will no doubt have some significant ups and downs in performances as a youngster but get some pre seasons into him and he could certainly be a big piece to the puzzle.

 

[hardway]

Looks like he will be able to play both ends of the ground with his ability to spoil!!!!!! Keep working hard, we are riding every jump with you.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Was asked to do a lot today and showed that he’s got a very bright future.

 

[VandoHawk]

Was always going to happen. Saints play a very defensive brand and he was often 1v2/3. Gunners also struggled.

Really hope he isn’t dropped and can excel when we have Lewis and Chol back in the side.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Calsher contributed happy with his game here. Played his role and getting experience behind him.

Don't think we can fit them all in.

 

[hawkman]

Need another tall alongside him. Saints were bodying off the ball early to stop his leap. Much harder to do that with another tall target

Other small issue is that he over commits on chases. Dale last week and Bonner today were able to cut inside too easily on him

 

[VandoHawk]

Don't think we can fit them all in.

We can definitely fit Lewis, Chol and Dear as three talls. The latter two are very mobile. Of course, Gunners gets first crack at being the third this year.

So you are confirming we can't fit them all in then?

 

[I got the outside word]

Calsh went the extra mile today and contested everything, even Blake Hardwick

Another good showing from the young fella, I think he was subbed as management, not because he wasn’t scoring, very competitive and made a difference again.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

He's gonna be a ripper. Super raw but the big mark very early in the game was great

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Really liked what I saw (besides the dimma spoil) unless he’s being managed he really needs to play each week. I believe he makes our team better already.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

He was out of gas and his impact lowered. Raw and will build fitness over the next two years. But he’s got it for sure

 

[arupist]

Two games, two wins. This AFL thing ain't so hard.

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Brings everything to ground or clunks them. Like that

 

[moginie]

Was asked to do a lot today and showed that he’s got a very bright future.

If nothing else, the mark he took early in the first quarter showed he can back it up.

He's got it. Now let's be patient.
