I think he is well suited to 6 but can’t see jack putting him in it’s a problem with jack he is very conservative with selection doesn’t tend to try different players or players in different positions much

I know its highly unlikely that they would make a league final but if there was any doubt of our interest then that team answers it.

Because it’s very important to note that Paul Murphy was selected in the right corner back position this time. I wonder if he might dare mark his man and thus jettison that section of turf this weekend

With safety secured the reality is for us to reach a league final Tyrone have to get something from Dublin match.If a win would guarentee us a league final Id bet Jack would have picked a different team.Make no mistake that Jack would be very happy to be in final.Ask anyone that knows him.Now Dubs might play a weakened team and if Tyrone are ahead in 2nd half and we struggling with Galway Jack will go for the Cliffords.Tbh Galway are weakened anyway and the team selected should beat them anyway.Breen back in bench but was listed last week too before being changed.Hopefully he is over his injury plague.Good to see O Beaglaoigh back too.I actually like the team. Can't see Tyrone getting anything off Dublin. I think the marginally more likely of the unlikely scenarios to get us in to the final would be a win by the Rossies in Derry by 4 or 5 points combined with a win over Galway by 11 or 12. Whatever way to make up a 16 point swing anyway.

Not absolutely necessary to win this one, but if we are to win, we'd need to be scoring 14/15 points.
Who's going to get them?

Who's going to get them? weve no interest in this game, just fulfilling a fixture and getting game time into lads that have been injured while at same time making the game relatively competitive not to get hammered. you will see the 5 lads with the least game time, coming on too.

We’re still going out to win. There’s no point in strolling to a 7 or 8 point victory with the Cliffords starring against Galway missing a lot of their top players. We’re looking for performances from fellas who aren’t the first names on the team sheet.

Has there been any update at all as to where fellas are at?
What's ailing Burke and the other Geaneys for example?
Lot of talk of the casualty rate for Galway but we must be the next worst off.
As Royal said, Portugal isn't going to be anywhere as near as effective a week away now if there's practically a team of walking wounded watching on from the shade.

The walking wounded - many a poster here flagged last year the concern that our county players were over flogged with club championship round robin, county championship round robin, district board championship etc. and the number of competitions or games in some of the competitions needed to be reduced
Is the above a factor in the injuries?
if stories of players looking to transfer to higher grade clubs are correct well then is this just the final nail in the coffin of divisional teams given that there existence is present to provide players from the small clubs to get exposure to senior football
re the summer sun training camp, I am sceptical of the benefit of them to be honest and the cost. There are locations in Ireland such as Carton House if a few days camp is deemed to be beneficial

Jason and Dara Moynihan out. Graham, Paudie and David to the bench Glad to see an experimental side to the selection no point in having lads on the panel if they dont get tested in the league we need more depth in some positions, it will never be developed in players dont get a gallop in the league

I think Paul has all the skillset to be an excellent 11 but legs may no longer be there is the issue I see no harm in trying it in the last round of the league anyways, people give out about Jack not trying things , he is trying something here

Never seen our lawn or fields so sodden going into April.

I dont see a problem being in a league final.In fact it would probably be good for Kerry and Dublin as we both in poor provincial championship.Two years ago everyone wanted to win the league but a bit of fear has set in because of Mayo last year.Mayo s situation was different as they had to play a division 1 team rhevweek after and got beaten.People seem to forget both Dublin and Derry were also in a league final last year and it did nt do any of them any harm.Tbh Id love to win a league title and its worth more now than a Munster title.However one would expect a Dublin/Derry final.
I was always big on making the league-final, just to get the extra game, but not so much any more. A combination of two things: - Playing 3 games at last-16 stage against div1/div2 opposition
- Compressed season, moving all-Ireland from September to July
Now you've got 7 league games against div1 opposition, going up to the end of March. You've got 3 games at the last-16 stage (probably around May/June), before you're into the knockout stages in June/July. (and not forgetting you have a provincial championship to play in between!).
Yeah, in the past, with a weak Munster, and an age between the league and business-end of the championship, it was good to get that extra game, but not any more, I don't think.

This experimental selection by Jack is such a deviation from the Jack we know that he must have something in his head and it can only be avoiding the league final. He will surely be getting updates during the game. There is no point in analysing the team too much. A few will be getting rid of the winter cobwebs and a few will have a chance to show what they can do in a pressure free environment.

I reckon Jack has pencilled in this match a long way back to give lads game time no matter what the situ was
