Limerick GAA 2022 - Dual Kings (Part 1)

[EstebanSexface]

The opposite now for mul. He didn’t do a whole pile and I don’t think he’s as good off the bench,Casey is probably better coming on but you couldn’t bench him

[TreatyStones]

@Aristotle

I would say definitely worked. We got a better performance from him than we have for the whole of 2021, and I think we will going forward.

Even if we had lost, if that was what was needed to get the fire back in his belly for the rest of the year, it was needed.

Ya I would say it worked, as realitically going forward Gillane is still your main inside man.
He’s gotten a bit of a kick up the hole and responded appropriately.
Mulcahy will still be effective when needed, but at this stage he’s more likely to be bit part player.

[Aristotle]

I won’t write off Mul; there’s no scapegoating of him because we were shit in the first half across the board. You do get less of an impact from Mul from the bench in terms of raw scoring, you’d think. Casey only really came alive when the game broke up. Depending on Mul’s form in training over the next few weeks, you never know.

[glasagusban]

I wouldn’t dismiss Mul’s impact off the bench. Especially if it’s close or we’re behind, he’s a man to win a ball when it’s needed and clip it over or win a free.

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Mul didn’t appear to do much but he’s workmate is savage surely help tire out tipp for the fresh legs of Gillane. The only Limerick play that seemed to be on song in the first half was Lynch

[Aristotle]

2 from Effin, 1 from Blackrock, 1 from the Stakers and only Pierce from the @balbec

Strong panel, but up against a serious Cork outfit.

[Biff_Egan]

When Casey and Mul both start there is a tendency for both to drop deep and leave the other man in the FF line isolated. At this point Casey is probably the more effective starter and sub but Mul still has something to offer.

Any word on Richie English? … Dan did very well when he came on, he’s extremely cool, reads the game well and just goes about his business and does the basics right… Hannon sitting deeper and the forwards waking up took the pressure off the defence in a big way tho, they looked rattled first half and couldn’t get to grips with Tipp’s movement… We’ve seen a few times if you can negate Limerick’s half back line there’s plenty of joy for teams… We usually find a way to adjust and force teams to play on our terms tho… what were we down to KK in 2019, 11 points? We dominated them for 40 minutes in a similar fashion to Sunday but hit some unforgivable wides… The point being, this team are just never beaten and revel in the adversity. The bigger the storm the cooler they seem to get.

We might not go on to win any more All Irelands, tho there’s clearly a couple more in them, but what a group of lads we have … We’ve waited a life time for the privilege and might never see the likes again… Drink it in boys.

Also, big shout out to Barry Nash… I’m sure he’s someone the opposition feel they can test and get some joy off but he continues to step up to the plate.

Sunstroke.

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Lovely spread of clubs there.

[Aristotle]

A very good spread, good representation from “smaller” clubs.

Not far off what I would have been thinking, thought O’Byrne, Connery & Gavin would push hard for starting spots but it looks impressive.

Very strong Cork team though, kind of a pity that it is pure knockout this year, in that they don’t get a few games at this level. The more competitive games the better at this age, so hopefully they do get over the line.

Shane O’Brien is the big name, I suppose but I really like Riordan from Ballyagran, a very dangerous forward. The Croagh man in midfield is very lively too and the Pallaskenry man is seriously skilful.

[The_Most_Infamous]

Notable absense of Patrickswell there is a pity @Aristotle

[Thomas_Brady]

Mark Keane involved also… Has he been involved with a county team before?

[Aristotle]

Think they were particularly weak at this grade all the way up. Still, I wouldn’t fear too much for them, they’ll still probably pull a few players from the team by the time they reach 20/21.

@Thomas_Brady

Mark Keane involved also… Has he been involved with a county team before?

He was with one of the 15s teams a few years back alright. Think he was a selector with Liberties last year.

[FatChops]

He was with the seniors in the early 2000’s but didn’t get back on the bus when they stopped for ‘lunch’

[EstebanSexface]

Is that Joe’s yunfla on the subs?

[Aristotle]

Yes. Keeping up the tradition.

[Breaking_my_balls]

He’s involved with this age in the Academy since they were u14s
