Jason Daly will not be playing due to injury. I believe Conor McCormack has been tried in goal for the past two challenge games. It seems unlikely that Charlie Drumm will be playing as he is reportedly heading to the United States for college, although this may not be true. I also don't see Jamie Gonoud starting this year as the new management might prefer to introduce new players but will gladly use him as an impact sub with his experience of plying. I would love to see Sam Smyth, Marc Eivers, or Adam Treanor compete for the corner-back position, which is currently open. On a positive note, there's a rumor that Fionn O'Hara may be introduced to the panel. However, I've also heard that some players were initially dropped by the management but were brought back due to injuries and others leaving the panel. I reckon Brian Geurin will get an early chance in the league, possibly playing wing or half-forward, but I'm not sure if he will be able to retain his position long-term. Players such as Kevin O'Sullivan, Shane Fleming, and Brandon Kelly should be seriously considered for the panel. They are key forwards for their clubs and definitely up to the standard of inter-county football. Kevin, Brandon and Shane have both represented their colleges, Maynooth and AIT, at a high level over the past two years. Overall, I feel we have a strong management team that won't shy away from trying new things and taking risks when necessary. However, according to reports from kilcar two weeks ago, they did suffer a significant defeat against the Donegal men. Fighting-Cocks69 (Westmeath) - Posts: 29 - 07/01/2025 23:15:25 2584980 Link 0 |

How could Jamie Gonoud not be a starter with his experience and we've already lost 6-7 experienced players. Fionn O' Hara's inclusion would raise eyebrows considering he hasn't played a Gaelic football match in approx 3 years and didn't even tog for any Loman's side in 2024. A talented prospect but surely there's a pathway back to inter county via club performances? Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1957 - 08/01/2025 15:50:13 2585047 Link 2 |
