Austin Gleeson Appreciation thread

@HBV

where was gleeson for the first 50 minutes yesterday, aside from that one instance he was spotted pulling the helmut off one of the cork young lads who was lying on the ground underneath him?

Like a cobra drifting around waiting for his opportunity to pounce and when it came he delivered.

[myboyblue]

Kinda like how he perfectly executed that flick off the Cork players hurley towards the end of the first half. Just waiting, and then pouncing when they were most vulnerable.

[GeoffreyBoycott]

Can’t help feeling this latest smear campaign against Ozzie has derailed his chances of becoming the first back to back hurler of the year - regardless of what heights he scales on the field of play on 3 September.

[gaillimhmick]

He only won it last year because the Tipp vote split. Callanan & Maher were streets ahead of him.

[anon70480284]

Darren Gleeson was even ahead of him!

[Ashman]

Conor Gleeson is a wonderful hurler . Can do a real job anywhere from 2 to 9 .

[the_man_himself]

Not sure I’d call him a wonderful hurler. He goes most games without touching the ball much. A very good man marker. Got a great point yesterday in fairness.

[HBV]

He’s a dirty little hotheaded tinker that’s what he is.

[Ashman]

Very good player . Vastly underrated . His versatility maybe a bit of a hindrance in the notice stakes .

[Ashman]

We need similar mountainy men in Limerick teams . We are soft as shit .

In a million years Callinan wouldn’t have got the goal he got yesterday.

[gaillimhmick]

And your point? One swallow doesn’t make a summer.

[the_man_himself]

That doesn’t mean he had a better year last year

Johnny Callinan back in the day?

Austin gleeson is the most over rated player in the gaa by far.

He should have passed the ball yesterday, if Coleman had taken him down it could have been vital.

Along with joe , they are the most talented hurlers in the game but unlike joe he would also fall into bracket of most dead brain players in the game (Damien cahalane may be the leader of that honour)

He should have passed the ball instead of scoring the goal he scored?

[endakenny]

Yes , any player should pass to a free man on the 13 rather than run past a defender and shoot. It’s basic logic. Doubles the chance of scoring the goal.

So it would have been a 200% chance of a goal if he’d passed?

His fellow players clearly rate him very highly. They voted him player of the year in 2016.

They would have got 6 points for it
