Exactly. June is when the Championship starts. Once the ground hardens the thoroughbreds come to the fore.

I thought it began in mid July with the super-dooper eight thingy?

That's Tier 1

Westmeath lads, has Jack Smith got a run at all? Was a very good half back at underage for the Dubs, but never got a look in at senior.

The Derry lad on the Wooly podcast said (when talking about Kerry letting Cox go very easily to Rossies) that he knew Jim Gavin made a call to a player who was asked to join another county, to say he's still on the radar, and hold off for another year. Given the Derry lad plays for Skerries Harps, i'd guess he was talking about Jack's brother Stephen, who's an absolute topper of a corner forward. Admittedly small, but very quick, can take a bang, and great scorer.

There's another younger brother coming too, and I believe he'd be well worth keeping an eye on.

Was thinking same when heard Conan Doherty mention it on the podcast. Highly rated in Dublin footballing circles but may just lack physicality for a Dubs forward line?

Well already we've got the 5 of Rock, Costello, Con, Mannion and Andrews fighting for 3 places, and Bernard giving it one last (forlorn) lash to try and get in the mix. So very hard to even get a chance to put yourself in the mix.
