Id have the below 8 players in the 36- all who were involved previously.
Not saying any of the below would start - and I know youth needs to get its chance - but they are a step ahead of some of the options included from 22 onwards.
But then I imagine kiely knows this and we are bracing for a very tough period when retirements start in bulk in next season or two.
SĂ©amus Flanagan
Barry Murphy
Conor Boylan
Daithi Dempsey
Paddy OâLoughlin
Adrian Breen
Robbie Hanley
Pat Ryan
All of those players are 30 or more.
You are consistently complaining about young talent not being developed, but you want to replace the younger players on the squad with players approaching 30+.
4 or 5 of those listed would be great bench options for this cship.
Iâm all for giving youth their chance btw and hope the likes of DOD2, Hurley, POD, Coughlan come good
Iâd see a higher ceiling in the two OâFarrells than DOD2 and POD and would like to see them fast tracked.
Two of them would. But then youâd be giving out no younger players are being brought through. I think youâre being a bit ridiculous and hyper critical. Weâve been blessed with our greatest team of all time so obviously thereâs a bottleneck behind those players. Coughlan for example is a fine player but Byrnes and Hayes are as good wing backs as there have ever been in the game so itâs easy see why coughlan canât push past them. Kiely and Kinnerk have made some left field selections down the years and most of the time they are vindicated. They obviously see something in DOD so I hope he comes good. I donât think thereâs any such thing as fast tracking, you have to be good enough. Kiely has often said in the past that it may take lads three years on the panel to come up to the standard.
Thatâs the standard of a team where most of them have 5 All Ireland medals; youâd be very lucky to have youngsters coming in of the same standard, even after 3 years on the panel
Totally. And weâve had lads on here saying hegarty would never make an intercounty hurler and there he is the best wing forward of the modern era. I said Nash as a wing back could work but heâd never be able to play corner back and there he is revolutionising the position and being a multiple all star winner.
Itâs almost as if Kiely and Kinnerk might know better in some of these selection choices.
Heâs what?
@glasagusban is posting like a teenage girl with a parasocial relationship.
Quite amusing to read.
From the lad still following me around like a shadow 
Ffs 
And youâre being serious too. 
Release the hounds
Locked and loaded.
Byrnes needs a good game obviously.but if he hasnt played well for the club in 3-4 years how can he be expected to play championship?
Matt Fitzgerald in to help the rest of that back six with smartphones, pedestrian crossings and other newfangled things.
Happy for Matt Fitzgerald to get another go.
Is Hayes going to be back for câship?
More starting players in their 30âs than 20âs.
Is this Hugh Flanagan fella better than Sham Flan?
A lot being made about Limerick not having the depth of a few years ago. Sure when they were winning the 4 in a row they were operating off a tight knit panel of about 20 players who played and the team rarely changed.
Young fitzgerald was wronged by lyons last week.it shuda been a free out as waterford player threw himself to the ground.but anyway.hayes has to be back.
