Kerry team recently had a great full forward line but O`Rourke, Stafford, Flynn would been the best full forward line i had seen playing

The Twin Towers term regarding Kerrys Full Forward line came about in 2008 and it was Tyrones own Twin Towers in the McMahon brothers who sorted that out. 

Harte cut out the supply to Donaghy and Walsh. If they had been left 1 v 1 they would have destroyed the Mc Mahons.

Correct. I remember that game and Kerry being unable to break the Tyrone line that was set up about 50 yards out, therefore Kerry pumped in ball from 60 yards out, instead of 45 yards out, and Conor Gormley I think it was ate it up.

Or was it Enda McGinley?

There were a lot of one on ones that day, the McMahons wiped the floor with them.

The main issue I have with Mayo as contenders is that their defence seems to have taken a big step back this season. They aren't tracking back as much as they were and their use of supporting defenders isn't what it was. Cork have the makings of a contender but they look a year away from really putting it up to Dublin. The biggest advantage Dublin have is depth. They have a bench which enables them to play a far more pressing game from the off than most counties can chance.

It was the full unit of 6 year that I'd say was as good as you'll see.

Kennelly - O'Sullivan - Galvin
Walsh - Donaghy - Cooper

There was absolutely everything in that forward line, and a growing Walsh apart, all pretty much at their peak.

I can remember the build up was all about the damage Walsh and Donaghy would cause, and in the final there was a lot of high ball pumped in and between the two McMahons and Gormley most of it was swept up.  I would still view the 2005 forward line as the best:

Dooher, B McGuigan, R Mellon
P Canavan, S O'Neill, O Mulligan

The only thing that could stop this Dublin juggernaut is Seamus Aldridge announcing his return to refereeing.

Never forgive him for '78, broke my heart that day. Should have been locked up for that one - WORSE THAN SLUDDEN!!!!

i agree on that forward line being the best but only for a couple more years,

As many have said...probably going to be themselves....

So Philly took Connolly down UFC style and nearly took the head off him off the ball in a Ballymun vs Vincents match last week. Philly obviously waited for payback from the county final replay last year when he was sent off for an altercation with Connolly.

I wonder who Gavin will cut from the squad in the next few weeks if there is a cull..... ::)

Cool!

Great to have an eye witness account to unearth the truth as the grassroots boys and other reports I heard said there was only a face-to-face confrontation with no blows thrown.

UFC style take down and the head nearly taken off him! Jayz, it'll be a race against time to be fit for the championship.

Ha...true, maybe the player who was playing I was chatting to embellished the story a bit so, should be interesting to see how they get on over the summer!
