Defenders for 2008 (cover for the lads)

[kerry07]

The future looks more than promising for the Kingdom and I think we all agree that the conveyor belt is throwing out class forwards and indeed mid field talent with ease
My only concern is defensive cover. Killian and Padraig have been a revelation. My question is can we cover injury suspension (God forbid) to Thomas Tom Aidan or Mark. You know on top of this I feel that Tom and Thomas need a break given their sterling service. Any suggestions. Will Bohane and O Flaherty get a run and what else is out there ?

They'll get a run, but I'd be more inclined to give lads like Dan Doyle, David Culloty even shane Enright a go...bohane will never make the 1st 15 IMO..O'Flatharta maybe...we need to blood some guys in the next 2 years, cos we were very short on backs this year and Tomas, Tom Sull etc. wont be around in 3/4 years.

dont be underrating bohane he was excellent in d league games he played this year and he is a big strong man too just what we need in d half back line.

[JOAN]

Agree scooter and you picked the best I can see coming through also

[AnygivenSunday]

Brenden Guiney is well capable of holding his own, he had great League campaign before sickness got the better of him and then was FU**ed about by back room, Give him another call let him prove himself, also i dont think Bohane will do the job, try him around the middle he aint half bad there, great leep and good hands

[watchdehop]

Aidan O'Shea (Jackos son) will be knocking on the door big time next year.

Any one who saw him for Mid Kerry would be able to see that.......

[Piggy]

he's a very good player alright, very strong and fast and can play abit too.looks to have what it takes at this level.

[bob567]

aidan o'shea looks top quality alright

[hatchetman]

What age is Aidan O'Shea, can't recall him playing under age in the last few years?

Aidan is 23/24

[Piggy]

dont think he did play underage, played with the juniors i think.

[austinstacksabu]

Didn't he have a nasty injury about two years back too that knocked him off course for a year?

[kerrygold]

i'd say that might have been his older brother kieran, stacks,a serious injury has stopped him from playing the game completely,i think it was a knee or back injury.He wasnt a bad prospect either.

[Joxer]

agree completely watchdehop....excellent game by Aidan yesterday. As far as I know, Aidan was in the 34 who trained with Kerry this year, just never made the 30. Suspect strongly that he'll make at least that 30 next year. Great prospect on his performances for Mid Kerry alone this year. Stood out yesterday while marking Declan.

These threads are largely similar so I'm going to knock this one on the head.
