One of the best things ye could do is find a solid free taker! Think your forwards aren't up to the level required yet we got by ye by the skin of our teeth. If the youngs lads yet have playing up from developed into the forwards like Kerry's or dublins then ye will definitely be on the way back but if the go like our lads and can score from play in a big match like against Dublin or in a final then you will be like us!

We need these new forwards to be chomping at the bit and to be mentality different a bit more devil may care in front of the posts already! Plus they need to be up to speed physically as well it's a big jump between u21 or club to where our team are! I'd say if we manage to unearth a diamonds I'd give two or three years before we make our breakthrough, that's taking in to consideration that Dublin do in fact go into decline ( hard to see that with the young talent coming through) and then there's the Kerry three in a row minors ( again considering they make the jump not always a given!) then there's Tyrone, will Tipperary take the next step in their development, will donegal return to the pinnacle, will Roscommon or Galway finally hit gold? Or cork or Meath or Kildare? It's all hypothetical though?

We have a very consistent free taker in Darren McCurry unfortunately he spent most of the year on the bench Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he's a top 5 forward yet by any means but he has consistency and potential. Conor McAliskey will be a top 5 forward if he can work on his consistency, on his day he can hit them from anywhere Frankly I and a lot of Tyrone fans i've talked to feel the system beat us this year, we got behind and the system limits your chances at the best of times, we won All Irelands defending in packs and attacking in numbers at pace. Now we defend with the system and have to build up every single attack from the back, we're skillful footballers in Tyrone, everyone on the team is comfortable on the ball at pace so we're essentially surrendering our greatest weapon to make sure we don't concede too much which to me is trying to not lose rather than trying to win. A team may as well lose playing to their strengths rather than forcing themselves into a style of play that isn't natural to them Seansy48 (Tyrone) - Posts: 237 - 05/10/2016 18:40:30 1922994 Link 0 |

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that the following counties are going to be in the mix next year,: s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 06/10/2016 11:35:35 1923171 Link 1 |
Put your Tyrone hate away, the lads are 25 and 26 and it was a bad day at the office. I'd get your point if Morgan took all the frees but he doesn't and hasn't ever so there's that Seansy48 (Tyrone) - Posts: 237 - 06/10/2016 12:26:57 1923198 Link 0 |
Don't forget other counties will have plenty of 20 to23/25 year old lads coming through. Kerry have had great minor success Mayo u21 All Ireland champs. Tyrone and Donegal but good under age teams Good and all as Dublin are they could have been defeated in 2011 final(ask any Kerryman) again in 2013 and indeed this year So could easily have been only one All Irl over the last five years. I know it turned out different but goes to show how hard it is to win the final. And I don't think Dublin have played well in any of the finals , always seemed to play better football earlier on in the year.

Football will always continue to surprise us. Look at the this season, can't think of too many who'd have predicted that Tipp would make the final 4 and likewise Galway would beat Mayo. I can't recall too many people who'd have predicted that Mayo would make a final after their defeat to Galway. TheWestIsAwake (UK) - Posts: 529 - 07/10/2016 10:19:45 1923631 Link 1 |
I think Tyrone are similar to Dublin in 2010 or Donegal 2011. Not good enough to win the All-Ireland on this years performance but a good base to build on. Need to progress on the attacking side but hopefully playing in Division One after winning the Ulster Championship will bring the team and tactics on. Mickey has got to trust his defence more and attack a lot more from the half forward line. Games against Kerry last year and Donegal and Mayo this year do hint at the possibilities.
