Here's my team, I haven't given it much thought but here goes
1. Declan O Keeffe 2. Anthony Lynch 3. Darren Fay 4. Mike McCarthy 5. Tomas O Se 6. Glen Ryan 7. Seamus Moynihan 8. Darragh O Se 9. Anthony Tohill 10.Trevor Giles 11.Maurice Fitzgerald 12.Oisin McConville 13.Peter Canavan 14.Declan Browne 15.Colm Cooper
Some players are unlucky eg. O Connell,McGeeny,Walsh but especially Joyce. When you think about it Canavan did sweet damn all from 97 to 01 but he was excellent before and after those years which just sneak him in

More like Tyrone did sweet damn all in that period-though I guess Canavan's level of playing and Tyrone's level of playing kinda went hand in hand. Meh I'll just blame Meath and trail off....though at least he stood up to some Australians in that period which is a rare enough site these days.

Yeah in fairness he was savage in the 98 series. I was just thinking that Colin Corkery won't be too far away either. Browne will probably have to be in for the token selection(well worth his pace anyway) but Corkery ranks with the best inside forwards of recent years

very well picked team there falvey,a savage half back line.
i'd find the arguement that browne did more than joyce hard to accept,also mcgeeney the spirtual leader of armagh will hardly be left out.

It's a guarantee that McGeeny will be in but he's been taken to the cleaners so many times that he doesn't deserve to get in. He's more myth than substance. Joyce and Corkery played more games at a higher level but when Browne got the odd game there he was unreal playing in a poor team. I remember games he played against Donegal,Cork etc. where he was the best player on the field

That's the entry I'd send in falvey.....Browne is a bit of a gamble but worth it.

drop tomas back to no.2 for lynch,move glen ryan to five with geezer at no.6 and bring joyce in for brown i'd say.
tony scullion is another worth considering,tohill also played at no.10 if there was another candidate for no.9
ya,tohill on the wing instead of osin with john mc dermot no.9

I can't really drop Oisin. He's the top scorer of all time in Ulster plus he's been the most consistent wing forward in the last few years. He was even better in the full forward line. If Hassett didn't get that bad knee injury in 01 then I think he would have made it. It just took him a little while to get back to the great football he was playing in 2000

Fahy was a really solid defender but I think Lynch was a better footballer

Who have been the best corner backs of the last 15 years so Tom?
|

Post by FatTom on Aug 30, 2007 14:27:52 GMT
I would certainly rate McMenamin higher, Martin O'Connell made team of the century, I'd even have Marc O'Se there ahead of him, Mike MacCarthy has 3 All Stars, 2 as a corner back.
Tony Scullion was probably the biggest omission from my team.
Plus Tom Sullivan is a better corner back than Lynch who I feel was always more suited to wing back and not a hope he would get in the team in that position.

It just took him a little while to get back to the great football he was playing in 2000 oisin was past his best in 02 never mind 07 by having him there ahead of galvin or hasset or even is a bit of a joke. he was an average player mccdonnell is a far superior player than him

McMeanamin has been cleaned out a nice few times in the last few years. O Connell was a wing back, Marc has played a lot of his football on the wing, Tom hasn't played enough in the corner. Lynch is better out the field alright but he played a lot of good football in the corner

Tom has played in the corner the last number of years. In fact it is his best position.
O'Connell won has last All Star in 96 in the corner back position. Was he not there on Team of the Millenium Also? Could be wrong there.
McMenamin never got taken for about 1-3 in an All Ireland semi by a 19 year old in what was supposedly Lynch's best year.
Bray this year aside the only other forward who beats him consistently is Gooch!
Declan Sullivan cleaned Lynch this year as well.
Scullion is definitely a better choice in my opinion - he has about 4 All stars in that position.

Tom has only played in the corner from 03 to 06. Now he did very well during those years but will that be enough? O Connell may have been selected at corner back but he played at wing back and that's where he was selected on the team of the millenium as well. McMenamin was cleaned out by Bradley last year(not the first time either) and struggled against Louth and Laois before being exposed again this year. He even admitted earlier in the championship his form was poor and that Harte was right to take him off. Lynch is past his peak now but he's playing at wing back, with the amount of ball going into the corners that day he couldn't cope.He actually won a nice few balls that day but he was the only back that Cork had that day. Scullion might be the man who makes it but I thought Lynch was better on the ball

Fair points Falvey.
Scullion may be a little too far back to make it, we know how these things go.
O'Connell for a team of the millenium player has to slot in there somewhere really.
Tom probably lacks the consitency to make this team although on his day he is unrivalled.

1.John O' Leary
2.R McMenamin 3.Darren fay 4. Marc O'Se

8.Dara O'Se 9.J.McDermot
10. Michael Donnellan 11. Greg Blaney 12. Brian McGuigan
13. Colm Cooper 14. Peter Canavan 15. Maurice Fitzgerald
It's very hard, I tried to take off the green and gold sunglasses but it is still tough. I could pick a lot more kerry players, T.O Se being the obvious one but I sense there will be a wide selection of players from a variety of counties in the finish.
