High Catch

Hard to name 15 players but I am surprised by the fact that Paul McGrane has been mentioned very few times (if any).  He has to be the most consistent midfielder in the last decade along with Darragh O'Se.

Kentucky Blue

1. John O'Leary
2. Kieran McKeever 3. Francie Bellew 4. Darren Fay
5. Paul Curran 6. Kieran McGeeney 7. Tomas O'Se
8. Dara O'Se 9. Anthony Tohill
10. Tommy Dowd 11. Greg Blaney 12. Graham Geraghty
13. Maurice Fitzgerald 14. Peter Canavan 15. Colm Cooper

Bold choice puttin Geraghty in ahead of Canavan at corner forward - I don't think Graham comes close to Peter as a corner forward

Marc O'Se will be in there in year or two and I'd say Donaghy would be too. They've only done it for a few seasons yet though.

high catch.... any man who hast Peter Canavan on his team is only making a fool out of themselves.  Why do that?

High Catch

I just feel as though i'd rather have the other 6 forwards that i have mentioned.  Although as i said, Canavan would be very close to the team.  Is that ok with you RRHF?

No subs as if not good enough to get on tough. No second places here.

High Catch

BMcGuigan is a good call as there has not been too many outstanding natural CHF in the last decade or so.  Giles and McGuigan probably being the best of the bunch as natural CHF's.


rashCharacter

An awful lot of people with John O'Leary as keeper.

He was good enough but think he only played a year after the all ireland success.
Don't think he warrants being included as the best in the last 15 years.

CHF's? Ja Fallon, better than McGuigan IMHO and miles better than Giles.

High Catch

I wud have Giles on top of the tree, followed by McGuigan and Blayney.
IMHO Ja Fallon tarnished his memory as an outstanding player with his not so outstanding comeback.  He should have kept them hung.

High Catch

Canavan, Gormly, Dooher and McGuigan are all very close.  I suppose your county allegiance does sway your judgment in some decisions. I'd make room for Canavan in the first 15 but no other Tyrone player would be in my first 15 no matter what county i was from.
