It was Micko who had "the cream of the crop" of matured Laois talent, yet they didnt push on from 2003, maybe that's just down to a combination of lack of leadership on the field, plus weakness of forward talent/physicality. Yet look at Tyrone, for years they underachieved with the product of great underage teams, and the reason given was the same, "too small", "too much nice football" and it was only when Harte took over that they really stepped up - was it the coach, or that the right players of leadership/ability matured at that time? they got badly hit by injuries to Beano and Kevin Fitzpatrick and a few at a crucial stage |

Forwards may win it, but midfield has to be good enough, and half-backs, to get enough ball, and most All-I win teams have a class FB and goaly. Dublin mainly lacked at FB this year, and selection of Casey, and of Moran in half-forwards |
