I liked Green&Gold35's suggestion to play Brian O Beaglioch at wing forward instead of White, with Enright or Lyne to come in wing-back. Brian is a strong defender, has pace to burn and well able to take a score eg Navan match. Its a waste of Stephen s talents to have him on McAfrrey - we need to use his strengths to create our scores. Stephen was on McAffrey for most of the second half in the last game - his own attacking game suffered. Surely Dublin decide who Jack McCaffrey marks and not vice versa?!

Or no one at all if we play with 5 forwards, it's a tough one playing the way we did we negated as much as is possible Fenton mannion and o Callaghan not a bad days work! Someone mentioned previously that anyone could have done what mcaffrey did that's not true very few if any have the pace he has watch the goal again unbelievable pace. The problem was we went too bullish from the Kick out and we were caught retreating

Yes Saturday, whoops. I'd be day late! Where I'm from in north Kerry there doesn't seem to be much demand. Got tickets for myself and the two young lads from the club last night. I have no spares unfortunately

John Smalls right thumb is heavily bandaged While I'v heard similar from Dubs - I'm still too skeptical to take anything at face value just yet

Finally Brolly getting the chop from All Ireland Final panel...... about 15 years beyond time. Too little too late, I reckon quite a few more will switch over to the much maligned Sky coverage.

I think Dublin will line out as follows Cluxton Fitzsimons Cooper Byrne Murchan Small McCaffrey McCarthy Fenton Howard Kilkenny Scully Mannion O Callaghan Rock
A lot of people calling for Scully to be dropped but I think Gavin likes his work rate.

I think that's probably spot on. Another possibility is CO'S but if he's not fit then they'll hardly risk it. Some suggestions that Cooper will come out to half back but I couldn't see him living with the likes of O'Shea. Think Fitz might take Cooper and Cooper on Geaney.

If Small is injured then McCarthy will have to stay in the backs. They could start Howard in midfield with Fenton with Connolly or Costello start the forwards. Gavin could throw a curveball as well and start O'Gara FF to try to upset our match ups.

Assuming that Tommy doesn’t start, if it was my call, I would re-arrange our full-forward line. I think we would get a greater return from David from full forward with Killian at 13 and Paul at 15. All three are stronger on their left legs but they are also adept on the right. Killian, in particular, has a very deceptive ‘pull back’ to make space for a shot. Paul has more experience top of the left and it wouldn't inconvenience him in the least.
Having said all that, this time ‘round, I would actually start Tommy. The stats from these major games show that the actual time that the ball is in play is approx. 23/24 minutes each half. At this stage of the championship, I would expect that the level of fitness required to compete for that short period would be well in the legs of Tommy - he is injury-free for several months now and has built up a decent bank of fitness. Tommy at full-forward keeps McCarthy busy defending the full-back berth and Killian coming on worked ok last time out.

Would look at Enright instead of Foley possibly Walsh could be sprung from the start this week to force Dublin into moving McCarthy Killian instead of White to push up on Dublin Sherwood instead of O'Beaglaoich to match up with Howard All these could work to our benefit. Am anxious for Saturday now to see how all this plays out and if our management can make the right decisions again like they seem to have done all year.

the problem is that if we start those 4, we weaken our last 20 mins considerably.

I think Dublin are likely to make more changes to the starting 15 than we are.

That's very close to how I would see it too funnily enough. Gavin is stubborn enough to start Cooper again while McCarthy to midfield is a cert in my eyes. The one wildcard move I could see (especially if Small is out) is the moving of Howard to centre back in an attempt to pull our half forward line out of position and to physically get on top of O Shea. McCarthy can do the above but isnt as good a tracker as Howard

Clifford Full Forward is ideal I agree 100% What ever number is on his back is fine but this is where he can do most damage . I think he plays there anyway but he would cause panic all the time in there and he has the physical presence to do it over the others . When we got the penalty the last day he was in the orthodox full forward slot But in the previous games this year we had no one in there for long periods and it was hurting us

On Howard I have watched him in a few Sigerson matches, has played well in CF and HF and but struggles as straight defender. Cannot see us starting TW and DC together as they are poor chasers. I would like to see GOS on for GW, he is fast, good tackler and can score.
