What I like about Calsh is what he does when we don’t have the ball. He is a natural defender and his work rate to bring it to ground is phenomenal.It’s actually phenomenal that as an 18 year old he’s only been beaten comfortably twice - by two quality defenders in McGovern and Buckley. Even then I feel we miss his forward pressure when he gets subbed.
An increased tank will result in more leads and greater pressure. Increased strength will result in clunking more marks, and holding his own.
The most exciting KPF prospect we've had since Franklin.
Can you imagine how good Giddy would have been!For sure.
He's got those active hands, the kind you develop in basketball where your eyes are often lowered to below the waist of your opponent while he's dribbling and you're looking to strip the ball away.
Swiping, tracking, constantly trying to keep a ball that's in flux alive until you can find a way to control it.
He stays tight to a contest like you do in basketball too, just comfortable being in body contact and bumping and jostling to move an opponent off the ball.
I agree, if the marking wasn't enough of a point of difference then his competitiveness in getting a loose ball back to his team or hustling in tight is an X factor for your big man.
What a dream for him to be Paul Dear's son and actually being THIS good.
It's cringe that we like to see our players get recognition for their efforts?I don't care about "Rising Star" awards, and it's cringe that so many of you do.
It's a worthless award.
Nominations are even less than that.
Those active hands are super quick too.
the way he's ripped the pill away from guys and got it onto his boot is nuts.
His recovery when the tapped the ball back on the goal line, then got up and was onto it and kicked the goal was astonishing for a first year player of that size.
We have talked about Wiz and Weddle having X factor, which is fair enough. I also see some X in Calsh.
I think he was trying to tap it to Chol then. Was super impressive for him to recover and get it himself.
All that's missing is the antlers
Elite blocking by the Chols Royce
Chol's got three Bluesbaggers subdued in one way or the other to let Calsher have a crack at it.Elite blocking by the Chols Royce![]()
Great pic of Calsh. Weitering has a touch of the Voldemorts about him (with bonus nose).
IMHO getting a nomination outweighs winning the actual thing. Never been a fan of the RS award, but getting a nom and the media/ publicity that goes with it is an awesome opportunity for a young kid who may not have already been getting much attention.The Rising Star nomination is not a great honour.
It’s a trivial and arbitrary process of zero consequence.
The brownlow is a great honour.
Premiership medallion is a great honour.
Best and fairest is a great honour.
Any club award is a greater honour.
Getting BnF votes is a greater honour than a RS nomination.
Yes having your teams young players being regarded as the best youth in the country is just awful.I don't care about "Rising Star" awards, and it's cringe that so many of you do.

Dear to CHB?What I like about Calsh is what he does when we don’t have the ball. He is a natural defender and his work rate to bring it to ground is phenomenal.
