Anyone willing to have a go at picking a team of the noughties made up solely of Dublin and Tyrone players? Just for a bit of banter. My stab at it: 1 Stephen Cluxton 2. Ryan McMenamin 3 Cormac McAnallen 4 Philly McMahon 5 Conor Gormley 6 Cian O'Sullivan 7 Jack McCaffrey 8 Brian Fenton 9 Sean Cavanagh 10 Brian Dooher 11 Brian McGuigan 12 Diarmuid Connolly 13 Owen Mulligan 14 Peter Canavan 15 Bernard Brogan Concerned_Supp (Westmeath) - Posts: 71 - 31/08/2018 16:03:41 2137954 Link

Id maybe move Gormley to 6 and James Mac to 5,, but that's v harsh on Cian O' Sullivan. I'd have to watch some of those Tyrone finals again as Dublin team more in my mind.

James McCarthy is so unlucky to lose out, a victim of his own versatility maybe? It was a toss up between himself and McCaffrey for left half back and I went for the speed merchant. Philip Jordan and the McMahon brothers up there too. Concerned_Supp (Westmeath) - Posts: 71 - 31/08/2018 17:07:47 2137979 Link
Replying To Liamwalkinstown: "Swap in Johnny Cooper for Ricey and Stephen O'Neill for Mugsy Mugsy was very good but u cant leave out stevie!!!" No Ricey has to stay. Cooper is next best in the full back line. SON had his injury problems and didn't start as much as Mulligan. 2005 was SON's greatest.

Replying To m_the_d: "Is it Tyrone lads from the 00's and current Dublin players?" Tyrone and Dublin players from 2000 up to the present day. Waiting for someone to pull me up on the noughties... What do we call this decade anyway? Concerned_Supp (Westmeath) - Posts: 71 - 31/08/2018 17:29:04 2137988 Link

Replying To waynoI: "No. Can't be bothered :)" No Ciaran Kilkenny? May be too early for him but 2 years time he'll be regarded as one of the best HFs of his generation. An incredible work ethic, reader of the game and apart from good distribution has now added high score rate to his game. Watch this space!!

For me a win for Red Hands with a few players shown red cards and a few blacks - that Tyrone team could play ball and had plenty of hard men who could mix it also. Their main skill was how they could change tactics mid game without being told - I rate this current Dublin team big time however and the fact they are gunning for a 4 in a row says it all.
