Calsher Dear Gains Attention from Multiple AFL Clubs

Calsher Dear, a forward for Hawthorn, is becoming a sought-after player in the AFL, particularly following the anticipated signing of Gold Coast free agent Ben King.

Dear made a strong debut with 17 games in his first season but has faced challenges, playing only 14 games over the last two years due to injuries. With the return of teammates Mitch Lewis and Jack Gunston, both secured for the upcoming seasons, Dear's position on the team has become uncertain.

Reports indicate that Hawthorn has offered Dear a two-year contract, but five other clubs are reportedly interested in acquiring him. The Melbourne Demons are among those clubs, looking to strengthen their forward line as they prepare for life after veteran Brody Mihocek, who is facing uncertainty due to a recent neck injury.
