You are so wrong. You need to get the ear off the bar and onto the ground.

Is Dessie Ward part of the panel this year.? Was hopeful his rotten luck with injuries was coming to an end.

Indeed, a real front line player for Monaghan now. A lot of the men we need to see stepping into big roles are very injury prone- Jones, OHanlon, Ward, Lavelle too. Hard to get a full panel to pick from.
Still holding out hope that Conor Leonatd can break through. He's a real natural footballer and would suit the new rules brilliantly you'd think.

So we are paying Andy Moran and John McElholm for nothing then?

What has that got to do with Dermot being part of the set up? You need to wise up and get off the stool and attend games rather than depending on second hand information.

Attributing it all to him is not good. No mention of McElholm who is the coach

We have had a lot of bad luck with injuries and players unavailable for whatever reason Boyle Kearns Gallagher Carey. It really is a team in transition and there's a few now who were squad players for years in mid to late 20s getting their chance now mcbennett mccarville Loughran garland lennon. The good thing is they have been in the set up when div 1 so know the standards required. Agree with earlier poster saying we really won't know where we stand for a few matches which is v true as how many times over the years have we won our first match only to struggle then in the league when the other sides get up to speed also. That cavan match was our first derby in years we went in as clear underdogs which helped focus minds. Different challenge this weekend as will expect to win which is not something we tend to carry too well. Don't forget we had to wait last year after our first league game until the last match of all ireland group stages for our only other win so a win on Sunday be big one to get for confidence given year we had in 2024.
