Just not good enough plus being raided 2 years ago was the final nail…..

Replying To HB245:  "McBennett the only one worth mentioning here. That's a debate, I'll give you that. Leonard never fit so that's null and void. Beggan was in the panel for a couple of years and couldn't cut it. Connolly was given a shot this year and clearly not at that standard. Hanratty from Castleblayney simply not even close to that level, although still young so I suppose he could develop. Mick McCarville would look like an all-star playing intermediate football. Hes been the best midfielder in the senior championship for 2 or 3 years now whilst some of those lads you mentioned are often found struggling in intermediate league games."
The problem I see here is to know mc carville is the best midfield at senior club level the past 3 years you'd have to be at a heck of a lot of senior club games and to then say lads struggle in many games divisions down you'd also have to be at a lot of junior / intermediate games too, either you have the ability to be in multiple places at once or your judging players on bite sizes, if the small sample size you have of a player happens to be on an off day then your automatically going to think hrs no good.

I attend a lot of games in all grades and McCarville is the best available to Monaghan on the past few years form. Hopefully over the coming years true midfielders will come through from our excellent underage structure.
