Fence sitter, not sure.
If I was from Kilkenny, I’d say Carey. A great player who made a good team better.
If you asked which I’d prefer to stick in a Wexford team, I’d say Shefflin. Carey would get fuck all play and would be one of those players who scored a few nice points in a moral defeat. However I think Shefflin would change an attitude of a team and make the team play better.
Great to see wexford posters able live their dreams vicariously through Kilkenny
Doyle
Keher
Finn
Doyle and then the rest really. He was tremendous
The two wexford lads, despite having had the likes of Larry o, can’t look past kk. It’s like a panel of Michael duignans.
Joe cooney
Iggy clarke
Eanna Ryan
Would love to have seen Liam Watson playing for a top team.
Shefflin bottled it in 2010 when his county most needed him. He did the amir Khan on it.
Does longevity count against Eoin Kelly? Had his legs not gone about 7 or 8 years into his inter county career? Mobile corner backs seemed to have the better of him. He’d still use his pure skill to snipe an auld score or two though.
The fact he’s not from kk is against him.
What’s gotten into you? Desist.
His back was fucked from fairly early on alright. Similar to DJ and Nicky in that their best years were when their teams weren’t great
As long as it wasn’t a complete flash in the pan job I’d go for pure talent over longevity personally
Special Junior is the old name for Junior A, B etc in KK - fondly referred to by those who soldiered as ‘The Specials’
A couple of thousand? Of course I don’t know but going on this, mightn’t be too far off.

As per the description, it was a county final in 2013 and he came off the bench but I have attended and hurled in Special finals down the years and ain’t none of them ever saw a crowd remotely like that inside the 21 yard line.
Even when only named on the bench, they came from miles around just on the off-chance of seeing him. There’s no fucking way Gowran or the other team brought that many.
That looks like the Lancashire County final down at hough end.
That’s why we’re leagues ahead of Limerick etc in the Honours list😀
A bloody great hurler though
Angela was 75 percent male ( at least)
Who has the edge in your opinion when you compare Carey’s performances in finals with Joe Canning’s performances in finals?
Anyone in Galway (apart from the odd crotch sniffer cc @flattythehurdler ) would choose Joe over DJ. We don’t win many All-Irelands and would not have won one without Joe. If DJ were from Galway he would be classed alongside many of our other fancy dan wristy hurlers without a senior medal and would not be considered as one of the GOAT.
Fatty you can only call it as you see it.
A top 3 is difficult to pick in fairness. My personal top 10 in no particular order
Eoin Kelly (Tipp)
JJ Delaney (KK)
Henry Shefflin (KK)
Tommy Walsh (KK)
Joe Canning (Galway)
Ken McGrath (Waterford)
Cian Lynch (Limerick)
DJ Carey (KK)
Brian Whelehan (Offaly)
Seán McMahon (Clare)
Damien Fitzhenry (Wexford) best Goalkeeper
