A restructuring that the affected clubs fought tooth and nail to block. Bless.

[Itchy]

So any word on who is and isn't committing this year. Rumours that Mackey and Givney aren't which is a shame if true. Fergal Flanagan another I heard that's not committing. It's strange to hear this talk after us getting a good draw in Ulster and being back in the top division in the league. Maybe some of our players have a real lack of ambition?

[mrdeeds]

Or maybe they have real life issues that are more important than football.

Maybe.

Mackey working in London. Flanagan studying for a Masters.

I'd be more worried about givney. Mackey, although very talented, is almost a distraction as everything has been going through him and he slows it up. We need a ball winner at Full forward and without that we are screwed.

[Duckquay]

Givney isn't the answer as a ball winner in the ff line. He's an option for breaking long kickpasses hit in his direction but that's about it. I can count on one hand the amount of ball he won out in front in last year's championship. And that's no fault of his, he isn't suited to playing inside. Keating a few years ago was as good as we've had in a long time for a ball winning inside man.

That's not true, did you see any of the league games? Anyway, Keating's problem is his decision making which is brutal.

[rodney trotter]

Niall McKiernan capable of playing full forward, if he sticks at it. On the training panel.

[Itchy]

What about ray Cullivan and Connor Madden, any sign of them?

[Duckquay]

I saw all of them apart from the Fermanagh game. I referenced championship though. Not sure on madden but almost certain cullivan isn't surprisingly. He had a good year

[Itchy]

Maybe Cullivans past of walking of the team when he is not picked is a factor? I'd love to see madden give it a year of commitment to see how he could do but I've heard he has commitment issues.

[rodney trotter]

Maybe Cullivan isn't interested. He had a good year but not sure if has the mobility for a half forward role in County Football. He is too small for midfield at County Senior.

Over did it on the Gym work, when he was younger.

I was thinking more of him being an option at Full Forward.

[rodney trotter]

Suppose, but he isn't the tallest of players. Has good strength.

McDermott will be back in 2017, which will be a help. Missed all the Championship and only played in 1 League game.
