They don't seem to realise that to survive in the bearpit of midfield at intercounty against fellas like maher, moran, mcauley, Gallagher and the osheas you need to be tough physically and mentally, cussen unfortunately is neither. Besides their inability to judge a player at this level and their inability to game manage we still don't have a dedicated football coach.......you couldn't make it up, instead we have each fella doing a bit. Odonoghue would be eaten in a full back line in the summer, cadogan will continuously run into cul de sacs at half back, leave him full and ffs give up with this nonsense of tom Clancy at 3, the man is a born centre back and was beginning to show form again this year after the Kerry debacle. Mark Collins a fine player and despite being light is plenty tough enough but as you said a half forward and imo a good idea for sweeper as he is an excellent footpasser also. Keeper remains a problem, he simply has no confidence in aiming the ball long and he is too easily put off doing this, mentally weak. I don't know where we are going, for relegation anyway and after that it will be a difficult summer. Dan Maceoin - superb left foot, great attitude and worth his place on the squad over any of desmond, durrant, odriscoll or hayes...... I have no fiath for the season ahead and it is simply a shame with the panel available, great to see donncha continue to show what a classy intelligent footballer he is, has anyone ever seen him miss a oenalty?

A player with a lot of potential. I try to be positive with the new players as they are adjusting to the level etc. I remember watching Harnedy just a couple of seasons ago. The first few games he looked like he wasn't up to it but JBM kept the faith and it was IMO the challenge game in Kilworth against Limerick where he put his hand up for a starting place. It does take a few games to see the real player. If they don't impress after a while, they are simply not up to it and that is fair enough but you'd never know who can make the breakthrough. When I did make my player ratings, I know no one played outstanding and I did point out a few flaws in the players performances but we will have to wait and see who can make it to the top. Will any of the new lads make it? I don't know. Hopefully. Maybe some other lads can develop at this level. Interesting times ahead!

I've seen Dan Gunning a few times and read the incredible reviews here - he is a great prospect but he needs time to mature physically, he's tough but at the moment he's too light and too easily outmuscled by bigger lads - a point from play last 2 matches a poor return from your star forward - Now with the protection of bigger stronger lads around him in a minor set up he might thrive but I was expecting more from him on Friday Again on Friday there was ball wasted over sideline - at times by the strong wind but the goalie sent some of his puckouts over which baffled me and it was the same in O Callaghan Cup - giving away possession needlessly Management are being blamed big time but equally Thurles used the ball poorly in continuing to take pot shots for duration of second half which sailed wide The betting seems to have Thurles favorites now to win it out which is probably a surprise for Ard Scoil Ris I was told this was AGs best team for a while and they won't be as strong again next year - disappointing their run has come to an end this year The other 3 Cork teams have fighting chances and hopefully will prevail on Wednesday
