Is club football in Tyrone very defensive these days like how the county play or is it more attack minded?

I would love to see us revert back to a more attack minded team who don't always play with a sweeper. I am bored to tears watching us slowly playing the ball up from the back and rarely kick passing any long balls into our FF line as it has no support behind it as everyone is back defending.

I don't think Grugan is the required standard to be honest. McCann is probably a better prospect simply because he is more of a grafter. I think Tyrone could do a lot worse than look at Dawyne Quinn and Ruairi Loughran on Sundays evidence. PJ Lavery has been a free man this past 2 championship games so the jury is out on him.

Define Grafter and confirm who you are referring to?

Good shout tommo.

i was confused and the only man i can think of is Tiernan mcCann Killyclogher.
Big year for Coney hes still living on the promise of his minor days he needs to get himself alot fitter.
going by the fixtures we've been dealt in the national league that we will be down round the bottom rather than competing at the top IMO

Yes Tiernan McCann was the lad I was referring too. Perhaps grafter is the wrong term but he would relish the physical challenger a little more than Grugan would he not?

Tommo2

He has many talents but a physical battle would not be his preference!

Tyrone Gaa

McCann is not the answer.  In fairness I have not seen a lot from him but I watched him in the championship and he was outclassed by Colm Cavanagh and Ryan Mellon.  I don't think Killyclogher won 1 kickout in the 2nd half.  That's where Killyclogher lost the game (midfield) McCann isn't the answer
Living the dream!!!

Any more word of the trials. Last I heard they were to place some time this month.

On the comment above about Tyrone adopting a more attack minded approach - why is Mickey so reluctant to try and force this template through?  Surely with all the success over the past 8 or 9 years from schools level up (coupled with the number of clubs/players) Tyrone have as much talent as any county (Dublin included) to go out and rack up big scores.  Could never understand why players like Johnny Lafferty have never been given a really good chance, would do a lot of damage if played in the full forward line.  His brother Ronan would be one of the best fielders of the ball in the county (if not the best) and would have a physicality and edge that none of our current midfielders possess.

Need to wait until Mickey comes home from his holidays.

You/s are taking the piss-right?
I would like to see senior management take it for a year or 2.
