Dublin GAA thread

Replying To brayballer:  "Good point about a long run.Kerry found out that with Dinle last year.Cant see Mannion coming back but I suppose he has done it twice before.He would be a huge boost for Dublin."

Replying To Fionn:  "Exactly - our most important and best player Con, and probably our best newbie in quite a while in Charlie…

Although, if I was a Cuala man, my priorities would be with the club…. ;o)"

Replying To brayballer:  "Agreed and POCB no slouch.either."

Replying To Fionn:  "As much as I would love to see that happen, Con and the other Dublin players from Cuala, could be goosed by the time they come back to play for the Dubs, with the shortened inter county season.

With Crokes gone, perhaps Paul will have a change of heart and return for us.??? Here's hoping….! ;o)"

Replying To letsgetgoing:  "With 13 teams still left in the Leinster club football championship Cuala are 4/9 to win it.

Would tend to agree with your point about having an extended run in the club championship can possibly have a negative impact on the county team's championship hopes. In last years All Ireland club final; Paul Geaney, Tom O'Sullivan and Dylan Geaney scored 14 points between them against St Bridgets.

In the All Ireland final against Mayo:
* Captain Paul Geaney did not play.
* Tom O' Sullivan was taken off at half time..
* Dylan Geaney was held scoreless.

All competitive county teams would have the same concerns but on the positive side, it gives a great opportunity to test trial/ develop more of the panel members in National League fixtures. A good quality extended panel is essential for success in the modern game."
