Replying To jam83:  "I saw some of those. Handpass limit will be very hard for a ref to police on top of everything else. If McStay doesn't change the free rule whereby you just leave the ball on the ground instead of having to hand it back, they're not looking properly at what actually needs fixing."
That rule works perfectly well and the lads who break it deserve the 50m punishment

Internal
Kevin O'Brien
Kevin Walsh
Gary Delaney
Donal O'Flatharta
Paul Conroy(other counties have done this)
Anthony Cunningham
Cathal Clancy

Outside
James Horan
Jim Gavin
Eamon Fitzmaurice
Stephen Rochford
Dessie Dolan

That group of players need a Jim Gavin, someone the opposite to PJ and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way but just a total reset.

Surely Kevin Johnston is on that list as well.

100%, he's actually my first choice. Must have been too many Kevin's and slipped my mind

Players have been blackguarded by handing the ball but then the opposition deliberately barge in and knock it from his hand, making it look like he dropped it and then being penalised 50m. Remember Dingle doing this in either the club Munster final or All Ireland semi final. It happened too much last year for a completely avoidable grey area. Fouling player too has to stand and wait until someone takes it off him. Leave the ball on the ground and no more grey areas.

Galway don't have top level coaches being hired by other counties, bar Kevin O'Brien with Scotstown and Kevin Walsh with Cork. I'd like a manager to have been outside the county to learn his trade. Andy Moran was apparently well regarded as a forwards coach in Monaghan, it showed in their fast attacks.
Id have Kevin Walsh only if he had someone like Jason Sherlock for the attack. Need a proper forwards coach.
