Replying To ElGranSenor:  "Have to remember that Dublin didn't have Eoin O'Donnell this year, Danny Sutcliffe also got injured, and Dónal Burke wasn't really back to his best and yet they still reached an AISF

The likes of Conor Foley, Cian Byrne, Cian Molloy, CBD, Richie Lawlor, and Darragh Carley have some experience at inter-county level and the likes of Simon Roche, Seán Rowley, Cillian Byrne, Eoin Whelan, and Jack Redmond should gain some experience this year, need them to step up, no real point in making excuses or bemoaning our luck"
Other lads who might make the step up this year include Niall Murphy, James Byrne, Dara Kehoe, David Codd, Darren Codd, Mike Kelly and Tucker maybe. Conor Firman worth a call who was in before, and Brian Quigley who was on that same good u21 panel in 2018.
Lads to have a first look in the Walsh Cup might include Cathal Parker, Eamon Wickham, Luke Codd, the 2 O'Learys, Michael Dundon, Jake Molloy who is out with a knee atm depending how they might be going in training.
Definitely others I'm not thinking of right now at this time of night too :-)

Might make sense for us to use a sweeper in 2026, not many options in the full-forward line and bar Chin, they lack size so could just play a two-man full-forward line and look to hit the corners

A good few Senior clubs in the county play a sweeper so players would still be familiar with it, might help to shore up our spine too which has been a bit weak in recent years, should really be playing Molloy at 6 anyway but we need to find our next 3 and if we're to have an inexperienced spine, a sweeper would help them out
