[Orior]

How about Kelly instead of Brady?

Unwritten rule...you can't drop the captain

[Puckoon]

How about Kelly instead of Brady?

Why would you stick one of your best ball players in the corner?

Cause he is loosing pace, but still reads the game better than anyone, can intercept and play the ball out. I dont think the full back line can afford to get cleaned again.

[Gold]

Kel is not a man marker or corner back. See Minor Championships and 2003 v Peter Canavan as examples. I dont think he's losing pace but will he be fit in time he looked badly hurt?

[saffron sam2]

Assuming everyone is fit and available, I would go:

Red Dog

Brady
McLean
O'Boyle

Kelly
Crozier
Loughrey

McGourty K
McCann M

Gallagher
Niblock
McCann T

Hands
Magill (should be brought back in, Gooch and Tomas O Se only got a twenty minute ban)
McGourty CJP

If Magill's not there, I'd bring Kieran McGourty in on the forty and play Niblock FF.

So gone from Sunday's team would be Finucane, Douglas (a tad unlucky), Scullion, Herron and O'Neill.

My selection is a team that should fear no other team they will meet in the qualifiers, assuming Monaghan beat Armagh and Donegal beat Down. And Antrim get a home draw.

I will give an in-depth analysis of the Tyrone match when I get the time, probably in July.
