Mayo have no forwards.

Kevin o Neil
Ciaran macdonald
Cilian o Connor
Conor Mortimer
Tom langan
Joe Corcoran


Hardy

Ah mannix.

Kevin O'Neill only looks good in Mayo terms.

Cillian O'Connor would need a few seasons in any other county before being proclaimed anything special.

Conor Mortimer?  Conor Mortimer?

I'll give you Tom Langan because I can't say one way or the other.

Joe Corcoran - OK, probably not on anyone's list of the top six forwards of the sixties, but, since we''re struggling we'll let him in.

So you're right. It's wrong to say Mayo have/had no decent forwards. They had three in sixty years.

Hasn't even transferred to Parnells yet but he's already shacked up in one of their apartments in Dublin.

They're decent folk out there in Artane.

2 foot tap in for the meadman. Even Big Joe couldn't screw it up from there.

Interesting to know from Dublin club football who has been the most impressive import in the Dublin club scene in the past 25 years. Conor Deegan for me really helped the Kilmacud outfit of the late 90s

Thought that would get a few responses. :D. And I did mention David Nestor or John Casey because I wanted to keep it real.

It would probably be McGeeney (even if you don't like Na Fianna) for the amount that they won.

Conor Deegan was 28 when he joined Crokes and only really had five years as a starter on their senior team.

Paul Curran from Dunshaughlin to Thomas Davis ;) ;)

Has to be McGeeney alright

Canalman

For me it was the tall  Kerry lad who played  midfield for Vins in the AIC winning campaign. Not with them for long but imo won them the title that year................ can't for the life of me remember his name.......O'Shea maybe.

Veering away slightly from topic I know but the best club player in Dublin imo for the last 20 years or so was Paul Curran, with maybe Jayo a distant second.
