You tell em Estey bai
At first glance I thought I was up against it here, but actually, my guys win at least two battles on every line of the field and a couple eye catching names won’t change that.
To start, Eoin Kelly always struggled when marked by Reale, over the balance of his career Reale had the better of their battles. That’s his 12 point forward nullified by my two point corner back, which shows up some of the bizarre points allocations. Over in the other corner for some reason DJ is two points less than kelly. He’ll never be fully held but remember hickey keeping tj Reid in his pocket in 2014, catching ball after ball over Reid’s head in the rain driving, Carey won’t have it all his way. The rest of the opposition forwards provide little threat, that’s 5 of six battles against the opposition forwards my lads win.
Meantime, Shaughs and Cloonan clean their markers up front. At half forward I have enough ball winning ability and scoring threat to keep eoghan’s half backs occupied.
Then we get to the winning of the game. My half back line and midfield will dominate their opposition. Ken McGrath will hurl a world of ball and lord proceedings from centre back. Lyng and O’Connor make a grand midfield but are completely outclassed and outworked by lynch and Carey. My team has complete control of the game from here and that dominance of possession will be enough to limit the damage DJ can do at the other end, while giving plenty of supply to my lads to put up a winning score.
Carey and Lynch with 1-3 between them, Ken McGrath man of the match.

Interesting commentary, it would be rude not to pen a rebuttal of some sort.
In the meantime however you do deserve a feather in your cap in your unique selection criteria.
You have managed to select a distinctive sextet as your offence in that there is not a single Celtic Cross between them.

A scathing, arrogant remark that could lose you the galway, cork, Dublin, waterford and Limerick vote
The cats arrogance is never far from the surface
It may grab you a few Tippo sycophants though
It is a weak forward line in fairness
Harnedy, Sutcliffe, Prendergast > timmy, clancy, prendergast by a good bit
Yes but Eoghan has two all time greats in the full line
Eugene Cloonan was picked on a number of teams in this competition, I would always have seen him as a lad of suspect temperament. While he was a very skilful hurler I would always have seen him as a flat track bully and a bit of a hot head who was likely to go missing with the fat in the fire.
Would be interest to see where the Galway lads would rate him in the grand scheme of things.

Glas has three very strong players in the full forward line
All good players yes but two of the weaker sixes I think there
You’re giving DJ and Eoin Kelly value greater than their relative cost if you think so. The other 4 are very limited.
Sacrificing 4 forward positions for 2 big guns is a bit of overkill imo. It seems to have gotten the draw of votes up to now but i prefer the balanced approach to get as much strength as possible in each position
I would broadly agree but I don’t think Glas’s “scoring” forwards are good enough to make up for it in this instance
He has 5 lads with scoring ability, The other team has 2.
