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

[Faraway Hawk]

Whilst we can all get excited about his goal kicking and footy smarts (cue: dribble goal, kicking off the deck etc) its his willingness to learn along with doing the harder things like chase and tackle as a big man that has me excited.

 

[MisterBean]

He wasn't invited to the national draft combine.

At least 4 teams have to put in a request before a player will be invited to the draft combine.

I wonder if the Hawks put in a request?

He does those things just as well as he does the creative forward stuff imo. When he and Chol start laying repeat tackles in there it's a thing of beauty.

I doubt we would have, there is nothing we could learn at a combine that we couldn't have learned when he came out to Waverley for a few training sessions. Other players like Dursma, Watson, Curtain etc... we would have because we'd have no knowledge of their time trial performance, 20m sprint, vertical leap etc...That's what the combine does is show an athletic and skill profile that you can't get other than a "feel of" from watching games.

He just needs to put on a little bit of bulk, but not too much, maybe just 4-5 kegs. Just to ensure he can compete physically with big key defenders. If he puts on any more than that, he may lose a little of his burgeoning leap, mobility and ability when the ball hits the ground.

Early Richo? But with a winning record

He's a naturally strong bugger, he's not getting rag dolled by the backs but rather holding his own. When he fills out, he's gonna need team defence to try n stop him

Have you seen a picture when he was first drafted he has already bulked up little, hopefully he can continue to put on some bulk.

Father, Paul, had an abundance of bulk but a decent leap and plenty of mobility. I wouldn't worry too much.

 

[Iceman!]

I saw the talent early on like most here but i think i severely underrated just how good he could be and especially how early. 24 goals in a debut season as a tall forward is an exceptional return. Adding in what he accomplished in his first final and the lid is now off. Refusing to put any ceiling on him as a player.

 

[JZedd]

Bambi has all the tools to make it. Like others have said, he puts on a few kilos and we may end up with one of the best Key position fwds. He's not there yet, obviously, but he's certainly on the right path. His father would've been mighty proud of him.

Wanna know my favourite Hawk? Look up
Family is from Churchill, not far from me, my nephew played for the Cougars..
I don't care about who you play for (except Albion), Calsher is a ****ing star! Can We have him for Barrass?

I think everyone can agree it's only right he ends up with the number 19 when Gunners retires.
I'm incredibly curious as to what his role looks like when Lewis is back or if Scaife comes into the side.

To think that in his first year he has played 17 games and has kicked 25 goals is amazing.
I expect him to get a lot more attention next year- hopefully he can bulk up a bit!

Gee wiz this guy was a such a great part of 2024. Here’s hoping he keeps on this trajectory

He's the key to everything.

Dare to dream McCabe kicks on too. May have been rated higher younger

 

[Roddy]

Have a look at what this kid acheived as a teenager in his first year. Transpose that to when he's 24 and has 100 games under his belt, and maybe 4-5 kegs more on his frame.

The mind fairly boggles, and I cannot wait to watch it unfold.

 

[Hawks_Footy]

Not many in the whole comp with more upside me thinks...

A taller, more athletic version of Jack Gunston?

Na, Calsher's a pure key forward.

Imagine calsh and the wiz after one pre season…
