NFL Divsion 2 2017

[Ohtoohtobe]

Paper says Kevin Feely, despite missing the last quarter through a black card, scored 5 points from play from midfield (as well as two frees). That true? Sounds very impressive.

Na all 7 were from frees.

He has scored 17 points in the league 12 frees and 5 from play and has also won about 20 marks in midfield.

Himself and Moolick (2-4 all from play) are turning into a fine midfield partnership, hopefully Sean Hurley makes a full recovery and we will see really intense competition for midfield,  Rory Feely, Kevin's brother might commit as well, currently on the books of St Pat's. Still a very young side but with some of the players coming through Kildare might be competitive again. Nice to enjoy rather than endure again.

I can't see Hurley having much of an impact if he returns to the fold at all this year. Paddy Brophy would be a serious addition and would free up Dan Flynn to move out the field. Going by some of the comments on the Aussie Rules forum they're not that hopeful of him making it down there.

Really? based on ability or just away from the game and needs recovery and time to settle back? I thought he was immense in the 2013 Leinster final win over Longford. Stat of the day, 8 of that team started yesterday, probably 9 if Dan Flynn was available.

Brophy would be a great addition, I hope it makes it all the same.

I watched him for JTB in the Aldridge Cup and didn't walk away thinking he was going to have a big impact this year anyway. He has had that hip problem for a good few years now so hopefully he gets that sorted. If he can get it fixed it's a case of whether he has the same mentality and focus that the likes of Feely and Moolick seem to have.

Would be shocked if was involved at all this year. Can take a while to settle back in, maybe he'll put the head down next year and have something to offer.

Boylesports have Kildare at 5/1 to win v Galway (only London have longer odds in all 4 divisions). They must be expecting an experimental lillywhite lineup.

Bookies got burned by Wexford/Westmeath. Once bitten...

[Donnellys Hollow]

Are his injuries worries a result of the years playing aussie rules, or did he have issues before he went over there?

The hip injury has been a longstanding issue for him. It was definitely a problem pre his departure in 2014.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

He was very skilful for a big man, that will come back in time. If he gets over his injuries he will definitely be an asset. Hard to know what his best position would be though still, he seemed lacked workrate as a midfielder but that could have been down to his hip problem. His fielding was never top quality either despite his size. Moolick is the same in that department.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

Kildare team should be announced shortly but Cian O'Neill did indicate he will be making a lot of changes and giving all panellists game time.

[Jinxy]

Disgraceful.

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

Giving the hungrier and fresher lads a chance.

[Jinxy]

They better be very hungry and very fresh.

[seafoid]

Just a matter of toggin' out.

[FermGael]

Jinxy those lads are hungry.
Don't let Kildare lure you into their trap.

[seafoid]

Absolutely crazy odds on Kildare, anyone who would put money on them at any price shorter than Clare's would need to be sectioned.

A case in the High court is investigating the forcible detention in the psychiatric hospital system of a  number of Lilywhite fans who were unfortunately fond of a bet back in January. The Sean Brady Action Front is believed to have imposed a merciless code that involved clamping down on anyone with football notions. Several fans were sequestered before the Meath match. They will be given free tickets to the Division 2 final.
