Fairwell to Jackie. As tough as they come. Still keeps himself in serious condition.

Ya Tennyson plays next week. Tough game but they really should come through Leinster.

Sure I suppose he has a few football titles to cherish after all his years of effort.
Sound, down to earth lad. Best of luck to him in his retirement. Spoke very well on Newstalk Saturday.

So the rumours about changes in the backroom team at senior level were unfounded. Eddie gets another go. Does Christy Walsh's appointment mean he has left the Bridge?

In my case a VERY reliable source. Glad they were wrong, but I think the players will have been surprised by the news.

There's no reason why you should take my word for it, so I understand the reaction (and it doesn't make any difference to me whether you believe it or not I suppose), but it was directly from within the panel. Like I say, they were wrong, but there you go, take for what you will.

EDIT: Honestly, not having a go here, it's always a wise choice not to believe things on the internet, just standing up for my source is all!

Dionysis · 15-11-2016 12:48AM

I'd expect there to be some changes next year in player positions and players. Never thought Cody would go. Seemed to be very very annoyed after the final loss at the way we were outplayed, outfought and out muscled. Not to mention the way he was goaded by the press. Those comments along the lines of......."we have some very good players coming b through that you haven't seen yet", gave me a sense that he was going to come back and win and show them. It may not be 2017, but I'd expect it to happen by 2018. However after the next All-Ireland win, I expect Cody to call it a day.

Yeah he's there for next year. Huge expectation but I think we may be getting the hang of this 'keeping a lid on things' at long last. Take nothing for granted though, if Kilkenny find a few lads over the winter they will be strong and highly motivated. Waterford will be stronger next year and so will Galway, Clare and quite possibly Limerick could be a dark horse. Interesting to see how Davy will fare. I have my doubts about Cork and Dublin though. Cork look like they do no strength training whatsover. Talented hurlers but they need to make a dramatic improvement. Things seem to be going sour up in Dublin at the moment. Alot of high profile droppings and still no sign of Danny Sutcliffe.

Dionysis · 15-11-2016 01:05AM

The team to beat Tipp next year is Galway. And they are well capable of it.

If Joe had stayed on then who knows what could have happened. We were flat and Galway just didnt punish us on the day. They beat us for tackles and Flynn caused Mickey Cahill some trouble especially in that first half. I wont lie, Im worried about most of the teams but Galway are a huge huge threat.

Galway could well beat Tipp in a semi and lose to Kilkenny in the final as they tend to do traditionally.

Who said you were believed you can talk down to people all you like as I said it was only bar stool talk.

I'm surprised they gave Cody another year. This run equals his longest run without an all ireland title since 04-05.

buck65 · 15-11-2016 04:10PM

Not surprised he was given another year, in fairness he should stay as long as he likes, BUT sometimes it's time to move on - another heavy defeat could signal his demise but if anyone can wring another AI out of a fairly non-spectacular (Lester Ryan, Prendergast, Holden would not make previous panels) team Cody is the man. Once he leaves Kilkenny will become very mortal.
I Hope!

I presume they felt he deserved more than one match in charge to prove himself.

Regarding Cody, he's only 62, and there is a lot of talent coming through the last few years from minor, even if it's been badly handled at u21. I think he has plenty to work with to build another championship winning team, although the days of waiting til lads are 24 before they get onto the field will probably be over. He doesn't seem in any rush to move on, so I am assuming he sees plenty of promise coming down the line as well.

Yeah another heavy defeat having reached another All Ireland ðŸ™„. Anyone who thinks Cody is moving on in the short term hasn't been paying attention. He's retired now. Since his retirement he's getting involved with more teams not less. I even saw him on the sideline directing operations with his old school last year. When it comes to his life, he's one-dimensional. Its all hurling and nothing else. He has no hobbies. Doesn't gamble. Drinks very little. He doesn't do media. His ghostwritten book gave zero insight. He's in his dream job and in spite of the AI (and all he's won), is still driven. If there's any change in the next year or two, it'll be selectorial.

I Hope!

To be fair Davy managed to wring an all ireland out of a fairly unspectacular Clare back line as well, not many of them would have made the Clare team in 95 or 97.

Big year for Eddie in career terms I think. Needs a real good result at U21 level - Leinster at least and with minors from 2014 on board he should have good pickings.

I totally agree, I think Cody and management will bring younger lads on board this season. If they are good enough, they are young enough. He needs to find a few defenders also.
