Well, who the fook is it at present?
Easy. Shefflin. btw bandage, why isnāt Andrew āShaughsā OāShaughnessy on your list??? Heās a close 3rd, behind Shefflin and Tommy Walsh.
He had an exceptional season last year alright. However, I think the nine players I specifically mentioned are better players than him!
Tommy for me. 5 All Stars in 5 different positions tells its own story.
Great player.
He annoys me though. I was hoping Stephen Nolan would nail him last year that time*. Ah well, thereās always this year.
- Bandage does not condone dirty onfield play.
tommy walsh is the best pound or pound hurler in the countryā¦his ability under a dropping ball for a lad his height is unbelievableā¦
how come joe canning isnt on the listā¦also i would consider martin comerford and eddie brennan better hurlers than joe deane or ben o conner presentlyā¦
Quite frankly Bandage your list is a bags!
In my defence I considered the omitted players and thatās why I have the āother - please specifyā option! Also, 3 Kilkenny players is reminder enough of how good they are and I didnāt want to make it 5. As for Joe Canning, for all his Portumna, minor, U-21 and Fitzgibbon Cup feats (which are very, very impressive), he needs to play and impress in a senior campaign for Galway before he makes my list. In short, get fooked - itās my list and Iāll do what I want with it!
Tommy Walsh for me. Better all round hurler than Sheflin, Cha and Eoin Kelly who would be the closeest to him. Seeing Ben OāConnor on it made me laugh, 3 or 4 years ago maybe but nowhere near it now. Agreed re Canning, expect to see him make his debut in the league semi in 2 weeks.
I didnāt expect you to agree with me on Canning but Iām looking forward to seeing where Galway utilise him. What position do you anticipate him playing in Jack?
Heās a class act but you canāt really have him up there with the likes of Tommy and Sheflin until heās done it for the Galway seniors. I think heāll be full forward same as he is for the club, donāt think heās mobile enough for centre forward. Maybe if he loses a stone or two heās long term future may be centre forward but I think heāll be Galway number 14 this summer.
Get the ball into his hand and heās deadly. Really looking foward to seeing how he gets on.
Heard an interview with Ollie Canning after the Birr match and he said that he was considering going back as wellā¦
Any more news on that?

No still waiting for word on whether Ollie is going back or not. He hasnāt gone back with them yet anyway. Hopefully heāll go back for another year, heād be a big addition in the corner.
