Replying To thegadfly: "Jarlath og burns? Did he make the Armagh team this year. I don't recall him playing." He did nt play much this year. I think he was struggling with injury but he s a real top midfielder. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3675 - 06/01/2021 21:36:59 2326387 Link

Galligan looking like getting a All Star and didnt make the 24? Steede and Connellan are good players but hardly in top 24 in the Country FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 06/01/2021 22:26:58 2326393 Link
Replying To CiarraiMick: "He did nt play much this year. I think he was struggling with injury but he s a real top midfielder." He is for sure. I saw him in clones in the semi final against us last year. I think he got man of the match. thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 06/01/2021 22:57:43 2326402 Link
Replying To FoolsGold: "Not sure how you haven't one Cavan player as a Cavan man. Galligan looking like getting a All Star and didnt make the 24? Steede and Connellan are good players but hardly in top 24 in the Country" And no Gearoid McKiernan. He's definitely in top 24 imo. Lee Keegan is past the peak of his powers. Great player though. thegadfly (Cavan) - Posts: 290 - 06/01/2021 23:02:08 2326404 Link
Replying To thegadfly: "Jarlath og burns? Did he make the Armagh team this year. I don't recall him playing." He started every championship game but wearing a sub number. Kerry15 (Kerry) - Posts: 958 - 06/01/2021 23:24:35 2326406 Link

Replying To TheRock2121: "Mo Murphy in the 24?!" I think his influence on games has decreased dramatically in the last 2 years. In recent games I've watched him he's made no meaningful impact on the game so not among the very best players in the game anymore for me.

I'd probably have Cathal McShane included but for injury. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1910 - 08/01/2021 00:17:01 2326572 Link
Replying To Kerry15: "I think his influence on games has decreased dramatically in the last 2 years. In recent games I've watched him he's made no meaningful impact on the game so not among the very best players in the game anymore for me." Would agree with this year. Quiet by his own standards. Last year he was very good. Thinking back to the Kerry Super 8 Game, Meath home game and even Mayo away was vgood,although missed a few that day Hopefully he has another few years left in him! See Brolly was saying he was finished, think Murphy will have a point to prove this year, if we get back at all!! TheRock2121 (Donegal) - Posts: 1142 - 08/01/2021 00:19:11 2326573 Link
