The biggest mullocker of the last 25 years

Another lad who was a footballer playing hurling. Looked slow with everything he did with a hurley

Ger Oakley got some slap from Mossy Waters in Wexford Park in the 2009 championship, we were sat right in front of it, by Jesus I can still hear the sound of it. Waters took the head clean work off him.

Iā€™d forgotten about that. Iā€™d love to see a clip of it.

FFS DJ would leave Jerry O Connor on his hole in a similar scenario, would you fuck of out of that

Is the conversation not more about good players who were mullockers?

Cussen was just way off intercounty standard, full stop.

A big timid man. Aidan Walsh was an at times effective mullocker

Cork could have done with him in the 2013 final v Clare, Clare won the aerial battle , he would have bust it up a bit

Wasnt there controversy at the time about ger oakley playing for offaly, that he might not have even lived in riverstown and a few of the local north tipp animals took umbrage

Bangers is the greatest mullocker to play for Limerick in the past 20 years, ignoring 2010 as you canā€™t consider someone who only played a few games.

John Hoyne for the cats and James woodlock for chipp.
Ger Oakley is a good call. I worked with a couple of diehard tipp supporters from Carrig-Riverstown club and they gave him dreadful abuse.

Thats what im saying

It would have been nothing like the abuse heā€™d have got if heā€™d been picked for Tipp

He is. He was an elegant footballer actually and had the uncles trademark hang-time when fielding.

Mike O Brien was an all star mullocker. I remember a league game in Thurles one year where he 1)soloed over the endline under minimal pressure and 2) managed to hand pass a wide. They were the only times in the 70 minutes he threatened the goalposts.

Walter Welch categorically not a mullocker, gifted even given his self imposed limitations.
I hadnā€™t intended that JG be classed in mullocker category just that Galway tried to use him in the same limiting role as was given to Cyril Donnelan. They were both similar in stature but Glynn had a bit of hurling TBF.
Presumably an exercise to give relief to Joe of ball winning burden, similar exercise to what Tipp did for Kelly with the likes of Brislane, Devanney etc.
In the interest of promoting JG as an all round good sort , hereā€™s his Tour De France in conducting GAA interviews; Awesome stuff.

Heā€™s great bit of stuff. We would have beaten Galway convincingly both days in 2018 but for Johnny. He was immense

He played dual under age for Cork?

Glynn is a decent striker of a ball too. He scored a monster of a point in a league match against Clare in Salthill in 2015. Rose a ball over by the sideline around half way out the field turned away from goal and off his backfoot feet planted he had the wrists to put it straight over the black spot.

I remember in Thurles when he jogged into Full forward instead of remaining at 12 saying Oh Shit, they were throwing the kitchen sink in this time at the start not the finish.
