Limerick GAA - All-Ireland senior hurling champions 2018

Would logic not dictate Graeme and brynes Are flying in training? Given they are starting?

Brynes is going well by all accounts but most of them are thankfully.

Logic would dictate that theyā€™ve been selected by a committee of selectors based on a varying number of inputs, one of which being they arenā€™t from caherdavin

Reading a lot of the posts here there appears to be a lot of sillyness. Anyone who has attended the league games would know most of this team . People knocking the Morrisseys havent seen them play this year. Paul Browne who I love is just not in form. Graeme mul has been excellent in his last few appearances. Fair play to John kiely , he appears to have picked a team based on form and not past years reputations.

@anon78624367 very interesting how your posts coincide with absense of @anon61956325 every single time.

They are but this group have gelled very well through the league and that counts fir a lot. Individually dowling may be good , but this is team game and everyone working for each other. Ive no doubt Shane will come in and do a job at some stage.

No beef. You said the team was selected on form ? I asked you a question.

Are they on form. Iā€™d say yes.

Have they played for limerick, no. Have the played for limerick previously and shown form, yes

Strange to have no one from on of the best club sides in the country starting for a county thatā€™s underachieved for decades

Tom Morrissey is a player a lot of people seem to be saying will be dropped. I wouldnā€™t have had him as a starter at the start of the year, mainly because his form for the U-21s fell away badly after Munster.

But heā€™s always been a player well capable of getting scores; he racks up huge scores at club level, at minor intercounty, he was absolutely deadly and scored plenty for the U-21s too.

He might lack a bit of pure acceleration, but his work rate is sensational. Watch him tackle, heā€™s way more effective at it than the majority of players. Heā€™s being asked to play a different role than he would be used to, but heā€™s doing it well. And the players that youā€™d be looking to replace himā€¦ Dempsey? I actually donā€™t think heā€™s any better. Nash? I would rate Nash highly, but in this team, Iā€™d have him closer to goal. And there are maybe question marks over his application, but I would definitely have him as a sub at least, as heā€™s someone who wants to get goals. Murphy would be the one Iā€™d have next in there, I really really rate him and think he is unlucky.

If Morrisseyā€™s form was to dip, Iā€™m sure he would be replaced but as of now, heā€™s flying.

No one is guaranteed a position, I donā€™t think; if someone was to have a stinker, theyā€™d be gone.

Surely its on current form for limerick and not past years form

I havenā€™t been around since 2015 kid. Youā€™ve some memory for a daw

As for Mike Casey; I would rate English above him but do think heā€™s slightly unlucky. Probably the player that Na Piarsaighā€™s run hurt the most as he had the jersey last year. A very sticky corner-back. His use of the ball against Kilkenny did irritate me a lot though. Cost us two scores directly.

I think itā€™s great management by Kiely he is backing the players who have been there all through the Spring and is firing up the undoubtedly talented NAP players to show their stuff when given the chance from the bench,keeping the team chemistry intact,putting faith in the recent starters and having the subs raring to show their stuff,well played.

Hopefully the horse hasnā€™t bolted by then

Weā€™ll be alright pal, everyone will be needed in this new format.

Why all the fucking negativity. It looks like some people here want limerick to fail to prove their own agendas, one of the reasons why following limerick is so hard.
