    When he cuts out the messing Brolly can do a very good analysis of a game.

    Maybe , realistically all we can hope for is two good performances in the two games and hopefully a Big Learning experience for Management and Players .

    It looks like we need to find one or two backs and maybe a midfielder .

    And solve our kickouts . Be it with a much better strategy for the Kickouts that Clarke actually does .

    Whats another year;)

    Anybody expecting major changes?

    I think David Clarke will continue to get the nod in spite of my belief that James Horan has a preference for Rob Hennelly.

    I'd like to see Eoin O Donoghue start but don't think there's a chance James Horan will start him.Will Stephen Coen be one of the fall guys?

    I think Fergal Boland will start with any one of Fionn Mc Donagh,Kevin Mc and James Carr possibly losing out.

    Andy Moran introduction last week merits his contesting for a starting spot.

    All comes down to whither the boss will give youth a further opportunity to flourish in spite of an off day or rotate the bodies and fall back on experience.

    I anticipate Seamie will get a much earlier introduction and further game time.An invaluable substitute to have in the twilight of his career.

    Interesting Martin Breheny piece looking back at the last time Mayo played Meath in the championship in 2009

    Apparently both Vaughan and McLoughlin played corner back that year:eek: I think this is the kind of thing the phrase "the dense obscurity of the recent past" was coined for...

    He might give Clarke an opportunity to put things right, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Hennelly in there.


    Might be no harm to leave Kevin Mc on the bench.

    Anyone think Jason Doherty's place is in trouble?

    I have a memory of Andy Moran playing half back that game too... but I was seeing double with a hangover and stuck in the hill with some painful Meath lads, so its quite possible Im mistaken

    Personally, I think SOS should start in midfield with AOS and vaughan replacing stephen coen and leave Clarke in between the posts. I think Doherty is needed in the half forward line and I hope he leaves Carr and McDonagh in the starting 15 with McLoughlin on the bench. I would keep Andy on the bench also for the second half if things get hairy.
    Also, Horan is way to fast in replacing Darren Coen imo

    The only reason I thought Doherty might get replaced is just because he had a bit of a nightmare against Kerry. Seemed to be having difficulty even executing the basic skills of the game. But I wouldn't put it past Horan to field more or less the same team and give them a chance to redeem themselves.
    Though I expect Seamie to play a bigger role in the match - either start or come on earlier than he did against Kerry.
    Vaughan will be lucky to keep his place - he was well off the pace against Kerry imo.

    Ya I know, but there is alot who didn't play well, so you could change alot based on the Kerry performance but what these guys have given over the last few years is nothing short of superb, so maybe a chance to redeem the poor performance would be good for most of them. Its hard to know tbh.

    TBF to Donie he's really short on game time.Expecting miracles for him to be back to his peak after such a short period.

    I think there's little doubt he'll start.

    Doc's position should be under pressure but I think James Horan will likely stay loyal to him.

    Anybody hear boo re Diarmuid as per the earlier post?

    I certainly haven't.

    Apparently he was seen in Killarney with a cast on his hand. Can't imagine he's anywhere near ready if he's still in a cast?

    He was there with the team. He walked down the sideline, right past me, after the team came out. He had a blue cast on.

    Yeah, I just find it hard to imagine him playing any part in the remainder of our championship. Even if the break itself heals, surely there is the issue of regaining flexibility in the wrist as well?

    If you break your little finger its 6 weeks, plus the physio before you can play. So yes, i can't see him back in the next two weeks.

    Both Clarke and Hennelly on the bench - was Hennelly playing out the field at that time or was 2 sub keepers normal? Or was the entire panel listed in the programme?

    Aw man that game was some disaster. Recall us being hot favourites and cruising and then we absolutely blew it in the last 10.

    Its funny how confident we used to be as supporters after winning Connacht in the 00s :pac:

    That's one of the most average sides on paper I've seen. We would have been eaten alive by Kerry in the semi

    O'Shea was very ponderous that time though. he didn't have the fitness to last the game at corner forward never mind midfield.

    Why on earth wasn't Mortimer starting over him though? That said anything Kerry did, everyone copied in the 00s - so the 'twin towers' was the in-thing after 2008

    I always found it very strange JOM not starting Mort that year though

    Yeah only 24 would have togged that time, 29 listed so that's full panel.

    Anyone remember what Ballina used to do when both Clarke and John Healy were playing? I'd imagine Healy was first choice...

    The year Healy started for Mayo (2006) - Clarke was number 1 for Ballina

    Must be the only instance I can recall where a county championship starter couldn't make their club team (aside from fall-out with the club, injury etc.)

    Did he play outfield so?

    Some subs bench.

    Clarke
    Barrett
    Mortimor
    Nallen
    McLoughlin
    Seamus O’Shea
    Tom Parsons
    Hennelly
    Padden

    Ronaldson and Sweeney were both excellent players, but both were just too small and light for intercounty.

    The turnaround has been quick. Can't believe its Friday again already. Maybe tomorrow but could be tonight when we see another starting 15. Games are coming thick and fast. Interested to see where the heads are at for this game.

    Con telegraph a little slow at publishing the team this week, maybe a case of their contacts cut loose after leaking the team too soon last week?
