Well there's no way he's catching McRae because he was 19-0 with and 0-5 without.

If you picked him up with pick 3 in last years draft you would be wrapped with what he is producing. Have watched him closely in each game and if he doesn’t mark it he always brings the ball to ground. Physically has all attributes to be an A grader too. Is going to be a Star!

Look at his brother's size, gives an indication of how Dear would be in 1-2 yrs time.

Going to be built like Tom Hawkins. All depends on the club's choice on what is his best body type.

Seems to be doing great with his current build.

Hope he lands the rising Star nom base don body of work and 2 goals.

He is one of the finds of the season but if you ask the family. He isn't the best footballer in the family go figure.

That's not including his dad btw

Unless the sister is a gun, I'm pretty sure he's got the brothers covered!

Well not according to the family mate. We are talking football ability and skill, and they would know. Obviously he has come on in leaps and bounds and currently with them not training or playing at the elite level he would take them to the cleaners.

By family, who exactly do you mean? Because if it's the brothers themselves, of course they're not going admit Calsh is the better one! It's just the way it is with brothers.

He's got the iron will the really top line players have too I reckon. He just doesn't want to lose, get beaten in a contest, or switch off. A lot of times he bobs up out of nowhere to kick a goal because he is always looking to do something to impact the game. Doesn't matter if he's had a quiet day either.

Very few guys have that drive and ability to kick some of the opportunistic goals Calsher does.

That alone is probably worth enough to make him the best player in the family. You can compensate for having 10-20 percent less natural ability if you're always looking to improve and get involved.

It doesn't matter mate it's a throwaway line. All good Calsh is a star of the future

I thought this was the opposite, there were family members saying that Calsher was the best footy player in the family despite him looking like he wasn't going to get drafted for a few years leading up to U18s?

Either way, there were apparently family members of Cyril that said Willie was the best of the Rioli bunch and I'm not sure I buy that either.

 

[LindaCresLove]

Surely Dear takes number 19 from Gunston when he retires, like to see him in 13 but don’t think Moore will give this number up.

The "Number" topic came up in chat/discussion at the player sponsor night earlier in the season...He wants the 19, he said so himself. FWIW.

Makes sense. 13 is out of the question.

 

[The Seaword]

Couldn’t write a better script than gunners handing him number 19!

Round 21 Rising star nomination?

12 disposals - 5 marks - 3 goals - 1 behind

 

[Roddy]

Damn, he should have had 4…

 

[KermitJagger]

He's a gun. Most impact I've seen from a first year key tall in years and years. Others have kicked more goals but what he does for our structure and forward pressure is streets ahead of what I ever could have dreamed.

Caddy will get it. The transformative impact that Dear has had on our forward group has gone completely ignored in favour of big numbers.

 

[Flukey!]

Never mind his goals today, his will to get to a contest and compete is pretty special. He just leaves it all out there.

Watson is exactly the same.

 

[peetoo]

Getting 3 or 4 defenders on him today

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Nearly identical numbers.

Body of work should come in to it I'd say.

Does everyone remember how we were all debating wether it was a good idea for him to get a debut this season. Boy oh boy has he blown the lid off on those who thought he wasn't ready with me being included.

The kid has just come in and played his role and I just can't help but keep thinking that his old man is up there with the biggest and most proud smile on his face.

 

[Nugett]

May he never be subbed off again!

Remember how people were saying he should be rested this week? Last week wasn’t his best game, but he sure made up for it today!
