In the semi-final Bernard Brogan scored two points and appeared to be through for a goal until he was hauled down by Shane Enright, which resulted in a point being scored from a free, he also set up other players for scores, not bad considering he did not have a good game by his standards. Bernard Brogan is Dublins top player over the last seven years and there is no possibility he will be dropped for the final. If there is any forward that is vulnerable for selection,it would be Paul Flynn. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 07/09/2016 22:02:15 1911553 Link 1 |

I'll try again and maybe mods will let me give my opinion, On form this year Moran, who provides a great focus for the Mayo attack, is way ahead of Brogan. As for the other forwards, I could not see Rochford swapping O'Shea and the O'Connors for any Dub forwards. That leaves two places for Dub transfers - possibly Kilkenny and any one of the rest. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 07/09/2016 22:15:03 1911563 Link 1 |
Whammo86 - Dublin are managing fine without MCCaffrey at present. John Small is more than adequate. It is Rory O' Carroll Dublin miss but they are still getting over the line without him. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 07/09/2016 22:15:51 1911564 Link 0 |
Why? He's back in Dublin since the week of the semi final.

I have to agree with this lad again. Seems to think like I do. I defo would not have Cillian O Connor anywhere near there in his form and I'd have Andy Moran because of his current form , O'shea being the other forward and the rest would be Dublin.

What ever about anyone else but AOS would start for every team in this country, even half the hurling teams if he could some how manage to even hold a hurl. He is too powerful of a man to leave out. Once he runs at a defence they all start to panic , even Dublin have difficulty trying to stop him from a direct run(not the high ball tactic). How many players can have three men hanging from their backs and still be running with the ball. He has skill too , he is a goal finisher .He's the type of player you need when everything is going belly up to dig you out. His ownly shortfall is the fact he over carries sometimes into the tackle and is a bit for the self glory but the last few games he's cleaned up on that . He was in poor form up until somewhere around the Fermanagh game but picked up after that and looks in full throttle again. He needs to be used to perfection for Mayo against Dublin and that is not by dumping high balls into him. I'd imagine it's a better idea to give low hard balls into Moran and lay it off to O'shea for the run and the Dub defence rather than that high ball stuff they have done in the past with Dublin. Switch it up so he doesn't tire out so much and he will cause serious problems on the 18th but I do hope for them and every neutral watching they don't go at that route one stuff to O'shea it simply won't work with the Dubs defence.

I think you're wrong about Cillian and I think he will have a big final.

Truthfully, both teams could use a sports psychologist. Dublin are prone to the yips under pressure and lash out accordingly. Mayo just can't stop pressing the self destruct button, repeatedly pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.
