All-Ireland Hurling Championship 2019***

On Tony Kelly, is he even worth his place in the Clare team any more? Cork have made a big call and left out Lehane, is it time Clare did the same?

Lehane wasn’t dropped a such. He went off injured and the fella that came on for him had a stormer. The big call would have been bringing him back on for cadogan. Lehane is pretty useless imo so it isn’t a big call dropping him really. Tony Kelly is vastly superior. Cork will never win all ireland with the likes of lehane starting. They need better players than him.

unless Limerick win another one, 2018 will be up there

Hegarty would be as well off staying with football, for all his athleticism and ability in the air he is far too slow in his hurling and his swing is far too wide and all the training in the world wouldn’t bridge the gap needs at senior inter county level. The other two lads in the half back line look to have plenty of potential though

JJ obviously hasn’t a fucking clue

We died though last 10

Think I made fun of him in 2017 when he couldn’t reach the goal with shots from 30 yards off his left hand side. Sorry about it, mate. But Hegarty has a medal in his arse pocket or gear bag so I doubt he cares.

I think you are wrong on this @Big_Mick_McCarthy. I expect him to have a decent inter county career. He is a young chap playing at a low level all his life, where he was no doubt lording it. Without running down the St. Pats lads I doubt he got the best coaching coming up. He has also been focused mainly on football. The things he has you can’t coach, strength, height, positional sense, and an ability to win ball in the air. Brian Begley completely transformed himself as a hurler much later i…

I should be a hurling scout or something.

@TreatyStones @ciarancareyshurlingarmy not so much

@Corksfinedtboy

Wasn’t Cork that said they had no bench,others

Ref rode Cork in last year’s semi final.

We all partied kid.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

I was wrong, he has turned into a fine hurler. Even since he made his senior debut he has improved hugely. Credit to him, he looked extremely raw an an under 21

[iron_mike]

Fair enough. Can’t do any better than that

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

The issue is that there is no depth or credible alternative to Kelly or the other 3 forwards who are miles off form. All well and good dropping him but little point for a callow lad who will make no impact. If we had someone like Reidy, McGrath, Cunningham, Bobby Duggan etc available then there might be an argument but there is little point when there is no credible alternative

[Aristotle]

Is Bobby Duggan not available just not good enough?

[anon61878697]

Where’s young Galvin? Just gone off the boil?

Reidy is a big loss - a player that loved the physical stuff.

Who’d you like to take over if/when the two boys go?

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

A touch of both. He is an excellent free taker and stickman but hasn’t shown anywhere near the workrate a lad would need to survive in the middle third of the field at I/C level.

He left the panel last year due to lack of gametime. Wouldn’t give up on him yet, as he is only 23 but is the type of lad who would need to be put in corner forward and persevered with as he is a confidence player and not really suited to coming off the bench or being in and out of the team.

[anon32894817]

What happened your man guilfoyle?

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Injured himself after the Limerick student races and is only back training a couple of weeks. Was on the bench last Sunday.
