Ok so. It would be hard drop Flanagan.

The way Kiely sets his bench is interesting. His 10 outfield subs give a 2-man cover in each line of the field and include a like-for-like player to the player being substituted.

For example, last week:

FB Line - Condon (Finn, English) & Hickey
HB Line - O’Donoghue (Morrissey) & Hickey
MF - Browne (O’Donovan) & O’Donoghue
HF Line - Reidy (Hegarty) & Dempsey (Morrissey)
FF Line - Murphy (Mulcahy) & Ryan
Utility - Dowling

I’ve noticed that too and think it could be a weakness.

What if we need something different? If it’s just not working. A Barry Nash or Kevin downes maverick could spark something.

We’ve a lot of like for like to work to the blueprint.

Why are neither of those two getting a look in
do you think?

2717

Downes wasn’t there for the league and Barry Nash hasn’t set the heather ablaze at this level .

2718

Casey, WOD and Dempsey were not there for league.

2719

I’m not sure if he will be as effective against Waterford. He ran himself to a standstill Saturday. Don’t be surprised if we get no more than 40/50 minutes out of him

2720

Barry Nash is definitely in the top six forwards in the county for me. But he can be a lazy fucker at times. Kiely wants work horses

2721

Casey is a defender and there was a gap in full back line , WOD is a physical presence in middle third and that was needed when Hannon went off . Dempsey is a ball carrying half forward and there isn’t too many of them in the panel .

2722

Tbf Kiely has given him more chances than other player

2723

Strength and depth, pal.

The panel is strong.

2724

Nash was good against Tipp in the League, I thought. I think he was carrying an injury.

Is he ?? On what basis . He hasn’t set the heather ablaze at senior level . He hasn’t shot the lights out at club level .

I’ve no idea pal.

2727

So he is not buying into Kiely’s plan?

2728

I don’t know. I just get the impression there is a trust issue there after the incident last year

2729

Against Clare in the league?

No . Wasn’t there a bit of shite over some supposed drinking incident last year?

2731

I don’t know to be honest. I’d say if he came back in and knuckled down, Kiely wouldn’t be the type to hold a grudge. I think ultimately Kiely wants an environment that will enable this hugely talented group to give their best
