Replying To ConnollyDub:  "Dillon needs to start. Period. Its all well and good bringing him on to change the game, but what if its too late. We need our best to start. This isn't the Dublin football team where we can afford to leave better players on the bench in order to see a game out in the last 20 mins. In the hurling we just want to make sure we are still in the game at that stage, and the best way of ensuring that is starting with your best players. Dillon is our mot dangerous forward. Its a no brainer, he HAS to start!!"
Yes Dillon has to start for sure. He is Dubs best scoring forward.

Fully agree.
Better team selected for the Cork game.
Trollier will add so much more to the attack.
Unfortunately, I think the legs are gone for Rushe now.

Keep Horgan relatively quiet and I think we have a really good chance.

Also agrre but easier said than done. IMO Horgan top class and prob just behind Joe C and Reid

He's as good as those on his day
Top 3 forwards in the country no doubt

Jaysus Clare were lucky enough today. 1 point winners over Laois.

We need to drop an extra man back beside him today.
Horgan is an amazing player and carrying this Cork team on his own a lot of the time.

Laois really could have gotten a result out
of that game.

Clare were clinging on at the end, they need serious improvement no matter who they draw

They missed an easy 20m free in the first half!

How come there is a hurling back door but none for football? When you add in the round robins in the lower tiers there must be a lot more games being played in the hurling.

EOD doing a fine job so far on Horgan but our forwards not winning much ball up the other end.

Crummey is not in the game at all and Trollier not getting much change today either.
Need both of them winning more ball in the 2nd half or we are goosed...

Fair play to Laois running Clare to the limit.

Cork in control all over the pitch.Playing the game on their terms. Dubs are in bad need of goals or it's all over and there doesn't look to be much hope of goals.
Dublin never really looked like winning this one.

Not sure how you've worked that out. The championship only has 10 teams?
