Pat Horgan as good and all as he can be on his day I just don;t see how you could justify a 10 for him and then have Timmy and Fitz in the forwards. Take an 8 and upgrade one of those lads and you would be better off.
Simpleton has a nice industrious half forward line. All mobile, all hard runners ball in hand and would cause a half backline a lot of problems. I’d fancy StoneCold’s half backline and half forward lines to come out on top here in their respective duels and give him a platform to win.
I openly admit to not having the most stylish forward line, but I have a half forward line that can win primary possession and turnovers; I would be expecting Farragher to be contributing 10 points from frees. Cooper would be another dog around the middle of the field hopping off lads and being a general nuisance, laying it off to Galvin who is always good for 2 or 3 points a game. Another goal and ten from the rest of the team would win the game; those backs are not going to concede over 26 points.
I never expected to see Conor Fitz & or Maurice picked if I’m being honest, although it’s not as strange as O’Farrell or Aisake either…
@Crutches’ team is decently-balanced and although Callinan is one of the better goalies, still nowhere near the best 6 option, I don’t think. Never fancied Whelan at half-forward but yeah, there are plenty of scoring forwards there.
@StoneCold has gone for a slightly different option; a highly-mobile and powerful half-forward line which could cause serious problems for that half-back line. I just don’t rate that full-frward line as highly, although Farragher will surely nail the frees that the half-forward line will surely win.
Another close call, but on the combination of that half-back and half-forward line, I’m giving this one to @StoneCold.
I think my full back line is good enough to limit @StoneCold full forward line and don’t see him getting enough scores from half forward, midfield and half back.
All I need is my half forward line to break up play and happy enough full forward line will be the winning of the game then.
I’m glad that I have the votes of knowledgeable hurling posters like yourself, @Fagan_ODowd, and @Bandage. It appears a few lads voted along lines that there wasn’t enough from their county etc. Best of luck going forward @Crutches
