Yep, very decent player. Good luck to him in his future. poguemahone (Dublin) - Posts: 365 - 07/05/2016 14:55:42 1852743 Link 0 |
I don't think he was anywhere near one of the best forwards in the last 25 years not to win a medal. Good player at best but wouldnt have him in the top 50 forwards not to win an All Ireland over that period . Personal opinion though dubshurling7 (Dublin) - Posts: 1017 - 07/05/2016 19:27:21 1852837 Link 0 |
Good player, I wouldn't even have him in the top 50 players not to win an All Ireland in the past 25 years though. Didn't have the class if his better known cousin. But was a dedicated squad player who would always fight for his place in the squad for a chance to get some gametime. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 07/05/2016 20:01:54 1852849 Link 0 |
Mikey Conroy at his best was a good outlet. On his best days he was a handul for any corner back and would get 3/4 points. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 08/05/2016 21:40:05 1853113 Link 0 |
Mickey C was a hard working inter county player. Had a handful of very good days when he was a real threat. Didn't feature on the Mayo Panel (or was on the edge of it) for a lot of his playing career. pdempsey (Mayo) - Posts: 1313 - 09/05/2016 08:23:22 1853126 Link 0 |
I tell you his best game against Dublin in the 2012 semi final he absolutely roasted us that especially in the first half, I'm very happy he's been let go for me he's way more scary player than McLoughlin or Freeman or Doherty. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 09/05/2016 09:38:12 1853144 Link 0 |
McLoughlin is more of a defensive player than him not as natural a scorer. But Conroy is better than Doherty and Freeman who have shown they're not bad until the semi final stages. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 09/05/2016 10:11:03 1853159 Link 0 |
Last comment is a biteen harsh I feel- Alan Freeman had a fine game against Tyrone in the 2013 semi-final when Cillian had to go off injured, and likewise Doherty had a great game against Kerry in the replay in 2014 (scored 3 points from play).

Remember sitting in the Hogan Stand during the first half of the 2012 All-Ireland final between Donegal and Mayo and watching Conroy stick over a long distance beauty not too far from the sideline on the Cusack Stand side. Gave Mayo some badly needed momentum that day coming up to half-time Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1317 - 09/05/2016 14:53:21 1853303 Link 0 |
