And if one smacks of the bar and into the keepers hand you’ve no time to get players back in position. You’d want to be desperate to bring up lads from the backs.
It was all the rage in football with keepers but it’s
Pretty much stopped now.
Morrissey has done well when gillane was missing a couple of times. I’d have him ahead of hannon anyway.
Tis one player who takes a free not 10 of them. The modern hurler can adjust and slot in where needs be. I’d rather bring up a corner back who could guarantee you points from frees than just having a lad starting corner forward who will be a weakling from open play. Game of percentages and numbers and all that. Reidy a fine player but hasn’t seemed to make the jump to starter and tends to thrive in the impact sub role anyway where he has looked impressive.
It’s a funny one with Gillane, I’d never be fully confident on him taking the frees but he must have an accuracy rate of over 90%. Can’t remember him missing too many crunch ones, certainly never 3 or 4 in the same big championship game.
Savage penalty taker too. I’d let Byrnes take them though.
Cannot for the life of me fathom how na piarsaigh didn’t go with a ronan lynch peter casey combo on the frees this year. Leaving Downes take them was madness.
I’ll say this for Colm, he’s highlighted the badness in the Limerick set up. Gillane is central to earning his team a holiday and then they prevent him from going on it.
