Calsher on his Rising Star Nomination

Well spoken Calsh.
Great news. Most thought he was unlikely to debut in his first season. even those who, like me, thought he might get a few games towards the end of the season, never imagined he would debut early, become a regular and earn a RS nomination.
The Dears have a history of defying expectations. Father, Paul, was mostly seen as a handy utility until he dominated a grand final and was rightly awarded the NSM. Uncle Greg has three premiership medallions and could have had a fourth but for injury.
Calsher could yet turn out to be the greatest of the Dears.
Ripping interviewVery impressive on AFL 360
What a legend this kid is going to become
What a level headed and amazing kid. Can only wish I was that mature and accomplished at his age. Wow![]()

he interviewed so well. Didn't miss a beat. It was quite emotional there towards the end hearing him speak about his dad.Very impressive on AFL 360

Greg has two sons but I haven’t come across any news of them playing afl so seems unlikely of ever playing with Calsher.Do we know if Greg had any sons, be great if they one day played together if he did.
It also shows that a little bit of nepotism and sentimentality can actually be beneficial. We kept in touch with the family and watched him at Beaumaris and Sandringham dragons even though the later didn't give him as much opportunity compared to their other key forwards.It goes to show you how important it has to be active in unearthing talent. It sounds like he was pretty ambivalent about football until very late and without the right pathways would have probably pursued something else and that talent form to waste.
Oh dear.The goal in the second quarter where Dear dived into a pack of players in the goal square, outmuscled and out read them for the ball, then got to his feet and kicked the goal was otherworldly.
The commentators said something like somehow it came to him and he kicked the goal. He reached in, and grabbed it then forced his way to his feet to kick a goal before anyone on the ground had even stood up.
Calsher is a next level talent, been telling my friends he's looking better than Buddy was in his first year. His junior career says that he has the talent and will to kick big bags of goals often.
You could easily argue he'd go number 1 in that draft based on output this year. It's a fairytale for the club and us that he's stepped in and looked the business pretty much from his first few Box Hill games.
Another session from Gunners.
Gunners seems pleased with his student.
