18-year-old Calsher Dear, son of late Hawthorn premiership legend Paul Dear, is set to make his AFL debut for Hawthorn against the Western Bulldogs. Dear, picked at No.56 in last year's AFL Draft, has shown impressive form playing predominantly as a forward and second ruck for Box Hill, averaging almost two goals and four marks from his five appearances in the VFL. This debut comes 28 years after his father, a Norm Smith Medallist and Hawks premiership player, last wore the brown and gold jumper.
