As far as I'm aware Croker is available on the 19th, it may just be me but I think if the GAA put it in Crocker it would really be rubbing salt in the Mayo wounds that still remain from a Summer which such prospect which was single handedly destroyed by satin and a human wrecking ball, why? Because, they would let us play the ai semi in Croker so imagine if they didn't let us play the connacht final inConnacht! 😂 This time forcing us to play in croker, the irony! 😂
And Ahaha yes I did just refer to Cormac Reilly as satin and Donaghy a human wrecking ball! 😂😂😂

Can't believe that, I thought they deemed that shithole "unfit to host Connacht Finals" it doesn't even have toilets ffs

Final is in DrHyde

Castlebar would be giving Mayo home advantage but its a he'll of a lot closer to Sligo than Salthill is, better stadium too

That was my point earlier. Aidan O Shea etc aren't going to be knocking up big scores.

Exactly

[Brogan, McManus, McBrearty, O'Donoghue and O'Neill]

I don't think he's even close. He's young yet so he has plenty of time to develop but I think his all round game is lacking, he's a very reliable free taker but he needs to bring a lot more to his game than that to be one of the top full forwards in the game. He'd definitely be behind the likes of Brogan, McManus, McBrearty, O'Donoghue and O'Neill for me right now and there might be a few more along with that. O'Shea and Higgins are more important on the Mayo team at the moment, for starters.

When did they all transfer to Mayo?? Right that's it Im joining the MFS campaign right now, unbeatable with that forward line!!

Sorry Rossies.

It's a general point on O'Connor. If Mayo's greatest ever player isn't even in the top 5/6 in his position at the current time in his career then what does that tell you? Keith Higgins would have few equals across the country at the moment and likewise Aidan O'Shea and that's just current players playing today.

This Mayo team is a fine, fine team and they have lots of good players but I feel too much gets made of O'Connor in terms of what he has done. I don't know the stats on hand but his scoring seems to be heavily reliant on frees. I haven't seen anything particularly special about him, he's an excellent freetaker but he needs to improve his all round game and I appreciate he is still young and has plenty of time to do that.

It's a mad statement from Brady. Dermot Earley had some odd stat about Mayo's win rate with O'Connor as opposed to without on the Sunday Game at the weekend. O'Connor has taken part in all of Mayo's Championship defeats since 2011 as far as I'm aware?

Your point is he has played 4 games in 4 years? Because that's how many they've lost... 4

I said that Earley's statistic was strange. He pointed to some statistic that Mayo are much less likely to win without O'Connor but when it has come to Championship football O'Connor has appeared in all their Championship defeats over the past 4 years. It's obviously taking league games into account but I don't think Mayo have taken the league all that seriously over the past few years.

My point is he has played in most games

Yes of course he does but that doesn't suggest of a reliance on him to win games or Mayo are in bother if he's not there.

They are though, because who's going to kick the frees if he's not there? Hes heavily relied upon for scores, with Mayo lacking depth in forwards

He has 2-06 from open play from in 5 semi final appearances and 2 finals. It's not a bad return but  he's clearly going to have to score more from play to be considered one of the best forwards in the game.

11-58 in the championship last 2 seasons

Donaghy is a one trick pony. That trick can be very good if it works, if it doesn't he's woeful. It makes me think that the person who brought his name up in a conversation about the best forwards in the game is a troll. Actually it's pretty clear he is.

I count a fair few tricks I've seen by him
High ball in, get round his man and score a goal
High ball in and offload it to the likes of Gooch, jod or Eoin Brosnan for a goal or point
Low ball in and put it over the bar most notably 50 yard efforts by the wing v Cork and Dublin
Low/hand passed ball in and an extremely fast accurate offload to a teammate before goalie or back has a chance to react.
Come out to midfield and make some great catches.
Make some great catches in and round his own square for long range frees/ frees dropped in when a goal is required.

Yes catching the ball is one trick, he's a feckin human wrecking ball, 1-2 I believe is what he got altogether last year? I believe Cillian got something like 5-36, so that's 5-56, but sure Cillian isn't a marquee forward just championship top scorer two years running, but that's none of my business........

Where's Conor 'The Mort' Mortimer in all of this? Fine footballer he was!
