See you in Croker for the AI.

Great report
Like you said very early days but good to hear some positives

Mac · January 22, 2022, 10:14pm

You’re right it’s January and only Walsh Cup and regardless of how game panned out we contested and should have won a game where 5 of our starting 6 forwards were either making their IC debut or starting for only the 2nd or 3rd time. That in itself is progress

Bandage · January 22, 2022, 10:39pm

Is the game next weekend on Saturday or Sunday?

Mac · January 22, 2022, 10:42pm

Dublin are scheduled to play a football league game vs Armagh at 7.30 on Saturday evening so I’d assume our game would be 5.30 on Saturday then?

We were missing Dee O’Keefe, Liam Og McGovern, Richie Lawlor, Lee Chin, Shane and Damien Reck, they’d be all championship starters. Probably just as much missing as Kilkenny with Ballyhale contingent. Green shoots.

Wexford1996 · January 23, 2022, 9:24am

Lawlor has potential but don’t know how you could say he’s a championship starter.

Pirlo · January 23, 2022, 9:32am

You watch.

Wexford1996 · January 23, 2022, 9:35am

You forgot Rory O’ Connor. I’d nearly have him starting.

Mac · January 23, 2022, 9:36am

Only nearly??

Pirlo · January 23, 2022, 9:41am

Yeah Rory would be a starter, you were faster to take down the young lad before you added him but alright.

Wexford1996 · January 23, 2022, 11:40am

I wasn’t “taking down” the young lad. I was taking issue with you naming him as a championship starter when he hasn’t even played a league game. He has huge potential and was our best minor 3 years ago but give him time.

Gman · January 23, 2022, 1:00pm

Lawlor will in time be a championship starter. But I wouldn’t be calling him out now as being one of our missing starting players. He hasn’t even made his championship debut yet.

Of yesterday’s starting forward line, only Mac is considered a starter. Add in Chin, O’Connor, Dee, McGovern and that’s 4 who didn’t tog out. Add in Morris, Dwyer, Dunbar, Aidan Nolan, David Dunne and you have a lot of players vying for one or two spots. And then the new wave of lads in there getting their chance. I don’t think at this point you could argue that Lawlor being missing is any sort of factor. He’ll come good, but has a bit to go to break through as a starter just yet.

Pirlo · January 23, 2022, 1:06pm

I see Egan named Oisin Pepper and Corey Dunbar, he’s really utilising what he’s got.

Gman · January 23, 2022, 1:50pm

Yup. Stark difference this year giving a load of young up and coming players a chance to get into the squad.

wexico14 · January 23, 2022, 2:27pm

I had heard a few months back that Aidan Nolan is not involved this year. Not sure if he’s travelling or work commitments.

Gman · January 23, 2022, 2:37pm

Joe O Connor another one too taking a year out. Can’t blame them, go enjoy things when you can.

padjo · January 23, 2022, 3:23pm

Is richie lawlor currently injured? see he’s only a sub with DCU in the Fitzgibbon

Pirlo · January 28, 2022, 3:17pm

wexico14 · January 28, 2022, 3:38pm

Delighted Casey is back in the team. I think he has huge potential but wasn’t given a proper chance under Davy. I think he played superbly against Tipp in a league game a few years ago and he wasn’t seen since.
