DJ a steal at 10 pts, he has to be top tier, get one of those Tipp cunts out for him.(after I select him)

4

Abso-fucking-lutely. DJ at 10 is a bargain

David Breen 4
Kevin Downes 4
Shane Dowling 8
Andrew O’Shaughnessy 6
Ollie Moran 6
Donie Ryan 2

6

Then put him in your team - I bumped DJ, Mullane and Horgan all into that tier as they can only really play corner forward while the lads in the 12s can excel in both lines. Eoin Kelly got into the 12 bracket as you can surround him with 5 mullockers and he can produce.

7

It’s more of a challenge if you look at the list when doing it

8

Dowling isn’t in it. Take him out, there is a decent spread from all counties and there are plenty of big names not on the list and it is exhaustive as it is

9

I know you’ve put a lot of time in here but excluding him is bananas given many of the names selected.

10

Aisake :grinning:

The likes of John Leahy, Bubbles Dwyer, Martin Comerford, Jason Forde, two of the Dooley brothers, Kyle Hayes, Niall Gilligan etc etc etc aren’t on the list. There are loads of good hurlers not mentioned.

There are 60+ forwards to pick from. Take it or leave it.

Ffs, you left off both John Leahy’s.

With excellent deli counter etiquette

Right so.

Dan McCormack 4, Seamus Prendergast 2, Conor Lehane 4

Aaron Gillane 8, Eugene Cloonan 6, Richie Power 6

Couple of ball winners in the hf line, and Lehane can roam around.

Lovely dangerous inside line then. Richie Power is a lad I’d rank very highly. Some man to get a goal when needed

Unadulterated physicality, manic work rate, effective finishers & one piece of absolute silk and skill.

And that’s just Donie Ryan.
