Very underwhelming backroom team. Bradshaw & O Donnell have little or no experience in management and both were parts of average Galway teams that got regular thumpings from Mayo when playing. Dont understand Bradshaw appointment he left before mid championship after he got a red card. He also was not involved with Moycullen when they made their breakthrough which was down to a fallout with management not exactly setting an example. To be fair to O Donnell whilst I found him a bit limited from an inter county point of view he did come across as the ultimate professional as a player. Will there be a coach appointed or will Eamonn Fitz do most of this himself? Morris brings a bit of continuity as was involved for last couple of years with PJ. I honestly dont know much about Lisa Fallon but if she was part of Jim Gavins all conquering team she surely got some insight. Who will be the sports psychologist? Is Johnson part of it and if so does he vacate u20s or is this to offer continuity & succession down the line.

Replying To brayballer: "Elbows O Connor scored mainly from placed balls and although good he was nt nearly as good as other top forwards.A man hard to like from a Dublin point of view." His record from play in quarters, semis and finals means he wasn't just a placed ball player. The analysis of his career is so petty from outsiders. And came back from 3 serious injuries.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "According to some , his injury is worse than initially thought. That could be hearsay though. Hope it is." are they the same people who were saying before the Down game that he was out for the whole year, yet he ended up on the ulster all stars team for 2026

Replying To younggun08: ""I'd say overall they'll be relatively happy with their season."
This is Emyvales main problem. They are satisfied with mediocrity. They will be in Junior again before there in Senior and then they will celebrate walking junior as if they actually have achieved something. Rinse and repeat." Exactly.
The team has loads of quality and are seemingly happy with being competitive in intermediate.
Theres senior teams with less quality, less county men and a worse age profile that are punching well above their weight.
To my knowledge, Emyvale have 5 county senior players (6 if Conor Forde could be bothered) & 3 from this years u20 team. If that doesn't reflect underperforming what does?

Replying To Pikeman96: "But going back to basics, and the notion (whether you agree with it or not) that second-tier counties need to regularly play first-tier ones in order to raise their standards:
- The proposal on the table doesn't allow for that. Each year, just one of the sides who've been up and down from the McDonagh Cup to date will get a crack against a top four side at all, and they might never get a crack against one of the top two.
- My proposal does allow for it. Also gives them appropriate other chances to avoid bottom spot and relegation danger.
- Yours may allow for it too. But I still prefer mine to yours. :)
By the way, not sure what your point is re. the Rugby World Cup. Australia were in Pot 2 (7th in the rankings). They had to be drawn against one of the top six. It just happened to be New Zealand. Could have been any of the others instead." He was talking about the Rugby League World Cup. There are plenty of Rugby people never heard of it either ;-)
