Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[BIGONE]

It would be my hope that Sean O'Donnell, Daley Jones, Ryan Jones etc. push on this year and make themselves starters or sub options in the half back half forward lines. Tyrone lack pace and drive from these areas and these players have that pace and line breaking capability that hopefully we can see coming into the team next year.

If we are depending on the Jones lads we are in bother. From what I seen of them this year they aren't at that level. O'Donnell is excellent. Will Gray get a look in? Joe Oguz should push through. Been impressive this season.

Plenty of options. Cush and Clarke something to offer. Forward line needs a change to combine with Canavans and McCurry. Can the 3 of them start on same team?

I dont think you can start those 3. All under 6ft. Playing against massed defence's its imperative to have varied / aerial options. Hopefully McGleenan & McShane can get a run at it fitness wise. I know McShane underwent surgery again in September. If that were to finally end his injury nightmare we could be in business.

You'd also be hoping for progression now from the likes of Niall Devlin, Eoin Corry, Aidan Clarke, Joe Oguz, Sean O'Donnell, Conor Cush

We could really do with Rory Brennan returning. Stand out defender in the county.

That would be a massive boost if he could be talked into coming back on board. If Tyrone have Brennan in at 6, the defence would be in a better place. Would need to find a corner back (Aidan Clarke would be my choice) and a wing back (hope would be Sean O'Donnell or Meyler with Sean O'Donnell then at 10)

Good few new faces here

Wouldn't know a lot of them. I see big Donnelly from Galbally and Tarlach Quinn Moortown but would need help with a loft of the faces

Interesting recommendation at the AGM from the county committee looking players not in the match day squad to be released to play for their clubs.

That's a fair enough agreement I think.

Only 20 lads can play.  A panel has what, 30 lads?

Let them go and play club games on a game by game basis.

Seems a great idea in theory as it gets players on edge of squad game time , but the reality of it might not be so straight forward ( as has been the case in Down).
I take it that would be the end of the starred game system then?, and now you could have a club with two or three county men playing against another who have the same but they are unavailable, so for example Edendork (3 named in squad) v a club with two or three players not named by management . At least the started game was a relatively fair system.
Also they only miss about 4 or 5 games a season so it's not really gonna change things that much fundamentally . As well as this does the county player train with the club during the week & the county( injury) or just rock up for the club game on Friday night with no training all week.  I think it could get messy.
Is it not supposed to be a split season - this the reason we play the AI final in July now instead of in September.

I saw an article on Damien Casey at the weekend. What actually happened him as I don't remember it being disclosed at the time.

Any word of how things are going with the county panel?

[An Watcher]

That's a very kind set of fixtures.  Basically 2 road trips across 7 games.  Need a good start against the rossies.  Is there much reason to be optimistic this year that we can compete?  Or are we a year or two off yet?
