Replying To inthru:  "The great Michael Murphy has decided to call it a day once more.

Big blow for Donegal as he still has a huge amount to offer but he owes us nothing."
Sad to see Murphy go but he owes us nothing what a servant he was. He can enjoy his club football now swilly will be strong team next year. Donegal will struggle next year in my opinion

Yeah he was sensational again in this year's club championship.
Is it true Glenswilly have recruited another county standard forward from down the country? They could be a dangerous animal in next year's senior championship.

Donegal will definitely fall down the pecking order. We were second favourites a few weeks ago with the bookies, now after the Roarty and Murphy news, we're out to 10/1. Time for others to step up, but we have to be realistic and patient as well. There is no like-for-like replacement for Murphy and perhaps there never will be.

Maybe they will but nothing is certain after the last couple of years. A lot falls on Langan and he's recovering from an another bad injury.

Yes Evan O'Carroll looks like a done deal. Very similar type of player to Murphy. Big, strong and very accurate.

He is 31 but I wonder would he be on Jim's radar? He certainly was Laois most potent attacker.
