Dublin forwards play as a team or individuals?

    Is it just me or do the Dublin front line do not want to pass the ball to Sherlock.

    Its a rare enough for Alan to pass the ball but never seems to pass to Sherlock. I get the feeling they dont want him there.

    As good as the forwards are they still don't play as a team most of the time unlike Kerry where they are to be looking for a man in better scoring position.

    They will have a better chance of winning sam if they play more as a team up front than a group of individuals.

    I agree that Brogan didn't pass that much, but I'm not sure is it selfishness or is it down to other players not making themselves available. It's definitely something that needs to be looked at. Certainly the Kerry forwards worked much better as a unit.

    They play as individuals. In saying that though they have got better as the championship has gone on. They got a slating in the press over this after the Offaly game.

    I am surprised at brogan not passing to sherlock considering they are teammates at club level.

    Kerry forwards were excellent yesterday, making great runs and making themselves available for passes. Dublin unfortunately didn't, I remember at one in the second half a Dublin player made a break from midfield and was looking for someone to pass to and there was not on forward in front of him and there were none around the 21 yard line either. This is one of the many things that the Dublin management need to get right if we are to win Sam.
