Don't think he played a whole lot of league games either, when he did he plyed quite well from what i remember. For example imo Johnny Buckley is someone who has had plenty of chances without much end product. He's also 30 this year. Although going by your other posts you seem to be a Crokes man so that explains that

He's 28 this year and has had a lot of chances in the Fitzmaurice era. In fairness he was only ever a converted defender, having been a midfielder and forward at underage and club level. I'd much rather we tried to develop 20-24 year old defenders who have more potential but may be lacking physicality or experience. I was delighted with the management team appointed but some of the early calls made aren't filling me with joy. I hope it's mere experimentation and the Crokes players, including Johnny Buckley who we need, returning in March or before, will lead to a much stronger squad.

He acquitted himself well in county championship a little further out the field which is pretty much the only barometer the new management had to go on to gauge recent form. Presumably has been placed there for some sort of effort against the offensive mark as he has height and strength; something most of our available backs are short of, particularly the former.

I think this league campaign may be a tough one based on what I'm hearing and the Crokes players plus a few notable other injuries are absent of course. The above defence and midfield would be in serious bother against the top teams. Also, without going into too much of panel, if Tony Brosnan isn't included it's a bit of a joke.

Our biggest failure in Kerry is we are constantly thinking and looking at present for players to have a 10+ year career. This was not the way Kerry usually operated traditionally. Up until the late noughties we turned over 20-30% of the taem every 3-5 years and another 20-30% every 7-8 years.But from the late noughties we kept players well past there sell by date. in taht time as well we stopped producing the 20-30 minute young player. These are lads that come on for the last 20 minutes and change the pace of a game and the way you attack. Dublin brough and is bringing in new players every year it is only in the last 12 months we started to do taht. There seemed to be an inertia about younger players and a kind of attidude taht they had to prove themselves on the training ground but they were never introduced into the League and early championship games. Or if they were when a couple of older players got a bit fitter they were dropped from team and panel. Was Cox good enough it is hard to tell because a lot of players like him never got the chance to prove themselves.

He was a disaster as u21 manager though and despite having plenty of talent available, his era was marked with poor preparation, poor tactics, poor selection and defeat to Cork 3 years in a row. I don't know how you can place such "weight" on his opinion on Cox either seeing as how he was his manager for the sum total of 1 game at u21 level, the 2013 game with Cork in which my memory is of Cox playing fairly well in a very toothless Kerry forward line that failed to score from play for 40 minutes or so. He scored 5 points, 3 from play aswell. In my view Darragh was doing his best to deflect from his shocking performance as u21 manager and would never admit he may not have been up to the job himself of course. Your opinion stated in another post then is that Cox "found his level" at Junior. I disagree, but there's very little point debating it at this point.

Buyingcar2012 wrote: » Maybe not but he still lambasted a player in national media which wasn't too hard to figure out who it was. He may not have had a successful managerial career but his playing legacy still carries enough weight to give him significant influence in addition to his national media profile.
