Tipp and kilkeny used of the ball is woeful. Big high boomers regardless of time on the ball. Paudie maher had plenty of time today on numerous occasions and launched it. Same in 2016 when he got blocked v Galway going for a 100 yard clearance and Galway won the game from it. Kilkeny the same.
Nope. A tactic is a strategy to achieve an objective. Fuck all to do with turning strengths into weakness, which is actually impossible. You can expose weaknesses that exist. You canāt create them with strategy
You can turn mcinerney into a weakness by exposing his lack of pace.
Iād say put down the phone for a while and go for a stroll
He had a decent final against Waterford too. Kilkenny held to 2 points from play today, donāt know when if ever that happened before. Galway defense as a unit is very strong. Heās got Burke and Coen in front of him and Mannion on one side of him so I think heāll be alright.

Kilkenny are absolutely awful.
I used to have a lot of respect for you here pal but you seem to have lost the plot. Take a break and come back when youāve recovered.
When mcinerney gets absolutely rinsed in August we will come back to this.
Fair enough but leave it for now.
Youād need at least 4 if not 5 Cork forwards winning their battles to expose Mac. Iāll agree heās not the fastest but watch Aussie Gleesons OTB interview from a few weeks ago to see what Mac bringsā¦ Pure intensity, size and focus. Mentally strong and a decent hurling brain too.

Theyāre still guaranteed a quarter final place at a minimum and I wouldnāt be surprised if they got further.
What you need is backs comfortable on the ball, willing to work the ball between the lines and have the legs in the middle third to carry the ball, particularity from deep. Withdrawing at least two forwards is also key but these forwards canāt just clog space they to bring their men with them. Then youāll get at the heart of that galway defense.
Iād be absolutely delighted if we meet them at any point anyway.
Trying to pick holes in a winning defense. 
Horgan bottled giving Mac his second yellow by giving it to Joe.
Wonder will TSG numpties call it.
McInerneyās distribution can be suspect but he had a great second half today. Touhy is Galwayās weakness.
You also need forwards and midfielders happy to stare in awe at them attempting this.
Galway absolutely are tailored to beat kk and tipp, the two best teams in the country the past 18 years. When galway have to worry about clare limerick and cork theyāll style themselves accordingly. Tipp and to a lesser extent waterford are the only munster teams to realise the strength in physical exchanges you need to compete in croker in late summer. Its white hot when refs start to let things go. Theyāll find that out yet.

Small bit headless in challenges but croker suits him more
Take it easy on the funny stuff kid. Tomorrow is a work day. Limerick have had about one quality forward Eamonn Cregan in the last 80 odd years since Mick Mackey. Limerick forwards donāt generally do ruthless exposure in Croke Park at the business end of the Championship.
