E Kelly (Tip) Could probably do with adding some more in from the 90s but I don't remember them that well. John Leahy or Tommy Dunne maybe or else one of the Offaly team. LWB on the All Stars team seems to be fudged with someone from another position a lot looking back. Picking DJ over Tommy Walsh is a hard choice.

You could probably name a second team to beat your first one!

We knew when he retired that he'd be quicker forgotten than anyone, but he was right up there with the best Waterford had and one of the best in the country for about a decade. Unfortunately for him, he only really had 3 years when Waterford made their breakthrough when he was still at his best, but he was as important as anyone for Waterford being a top hurling county now! Some of those lads on your list are fine hurlers, but not at all in the same league as Paul Flynn.

John Leahy at midfield ahead of Ciaran Carey or Johnny Pilkington, no Martin Storey your team is good but you left out the most skillful hurlers of the last 20 years, no DJ Carey either:eek:
Juniorhurler wrote: » I agree 100%. That list is not comprehensive. I never mentioned Diarmuid O Sullivan, Richie Power, Eoin Kelly (Wat), Eddie Brennan, Larry O Gorman, Declan Ryan and so many others. Paul Flynn was top class. In fact had I thought of him John Mullane may have missed out on being on my team as Ken McGrath wouldn't have.

Deskjockey wrote: » Cat in the sack I don't think you get it. There's no doubting that JJ or Mick Kavanagh are/were fantastic hurlers but the parameters for this exercise is that you can only have two county men on each team. And I've already explained that DJ was trumped by TW in my opinion. Again I had John Leahy in there but it could easily have been Ciaran Carey Put up your own team there and sure we can take a look at it.....

I had Tommy Walsh at 7 but I removed him in favour of DJ Carey. There are about 8 or 9 good candidates for wing back, I believe Whelahan and Walsh are unquestionably the top two; after that Mark Foley stands up there with the best of the rest.

blue note wrote: » I think Mark Foley was a terrific player, but he was simply no Ken McGrath. It's a slight liberty to put Ken on the wing, but a necessary one. You simply can't have a team of the last 20 years without Ken on it. I suppose you could also have had him wing forward ahead of Ben O'C.
BnB wrote: » Amazing how much agreement there is on the full forward line. 7 Teams so far have Mullane, Canning, Kelly. And everyone so far has gone for Fitzhenry in goals. Although I went for him myself, I though Donal Og and maybe Cummins might get a few shouts.
