His first main season anyway. I think you may be mixing up raw for determination and aggression; which I think is a great attribute. The tackling skills can be worked on over time with training.
km79 wrote: » The first thing to say is the sample size is very small for him at county level . So I hope and would love to be very wrong If he was younger and had a different intercounty coach I’d be more optimistic But he is 27 years old and our tackle ing in he real has gone down hill since Buckley left O Hora is VERY loose in the tackle at that level. Lot of head high tackles. And that’s at league not championship pace I’d have serious doubts that can be coaches out of him at this stage

I can't listen to him or anything but on the pitch he is one of the best midfielders to ever play for us (imo) I also think Aidan should be higher up the ranking than Cillian.
