It’s a relevant question and useful to drill home to players (on and off the ball) the value and detriment of possession of the football.
Don’t agree
There’s so many variables in a phase of play that reverting back to the turnover is needless
They use score source in feck all other sports (AFL being a good barometer for Football)
This comes back around to who you’re dealing with. At club level, even Senior you need to drill the importance of the turnover. To quote a former poster here, some lads just don’t get it. So you show them bare facts and develop from there
Not as relevant at intercounty ‘elite’

Surely thats a legitimate question. From that point then you look at why you are getting turned over, be it lack of support runner, needlessly taking the ball into contact etc.
I’m not really getting your angle here with all this. You are making generalised, sweeping statements, with very little context. Then criticising managers / clubs for doing the same.
I doubt anyone is disagreeing with the benefits of good stats.
I looked at a match recently where the kick out stats for a half had a team winning 10/10. Closer examinations showed that the other team scored 0-4 and created 2 goal chances off the 2nd/3rd ball from the kick out.

Where am I criticising Managers/Coaches?
I thoroughly encourage them all to use as many relevant stats as possible, live and post-match
There’s no angle. My initial comment on all of this was backing up Westmeath when somebody took the mick out of the size of their backroom team - I was saying that if they weren’t going to those lengths they’d be at nothing
Meh
Great post. It’s absolutely mental, and driven by the highly gullible. There’s no way I’d sponsor a club that was spunking money away on professional trainers, never mind stats. It’s GUBU.

This is entirely down to the philosophy of what your club or any club is about. Is it about winning, or is it about trying to fashion and bond a group to go out and strive and enjoy themselves and support each other? I think the GAA in general has lost its way, with the former overriding the latter and I’m not sure why. Qui Bono ? It’s never quite clear. It’s a sign that Ireland has too much money washing about.
To my mind, a GAA club should be entirely be locally run and locally trained. Most intelligent people could spend an evening on the internet, pick a few brains, and train a team to a reasonable level.

I agree with that but it’s still a lower base to start from compared the declared professional sports
Oh god yes I understand that anyway! A far smaller base, but honestly, and I know I’ve received a lot of negative responses here.
In the next few years it’ll be more prevalent, so get used to it (for want of a better term! Hah)

Anyone able to post this up?
I see where the “greatest ever Derry forward” Paddy Bradley has become part of the Donegal backroom team. That’s a bit of a surprise to me so it is…

Don’t think the images loaded in order but you should be able to piece it together.
I know. I got the general gist👍
