Cork Footballers

RHB

The bit of cuteness you refer was surely pre-planned and practiced in training which is complimentary to the Castlehaven management and players.

The Cahalanes chose inter-county hurling and Damo has been without doubt a loss to Cork football over the years but that time has passed. Conor is quick in straight lines but not a natural mid-fielder and it's very debatable would be up to inter-county as a half-forward, I don't think there's enough strings to his bow for senior inter-county level.

Mark Collins was years with Cork and came up short of what's required as a forward at senior inter-county level. He was never a natural forward where Cork selectors persisted with playing him throughout those years. Castlehaven appeared to have seen this and he is a far better player facing the ball. He has also quit inter-county football and now being over 30 I doubt he'd be selected if he was to change his mind.

Cathal Maguire is plenty young enough and was on last years extended panel, he should be getting game time by now so hopefully we'll see him with Cork in 2024.
Agree with your points on DC and CC.

No doubting DC would offer something to the football, his composure alone would be a huge asset. At this stage I doubt he will ever swap, had a decent year at IC too. On the money regarding CC- he would not offer anything crazy at IC football.

I can not fathom that Mark Collins remark. Without doubt, a shining light of Cork football during the misery of the mid to late 2010's.

Did you watch any Cork games during that time? If you did you're no judge of a good footballer, that's for sure.
 
At 1:51:00....
10 minutes into extra time.
In a storm.
Players going down every where.
Castlehaven 3 points down and looking finished. Needed inspiration from somewhere.
Collins found this in his locker (this is after being up and down a soggy pitch for 90 minutes at this stage + warmup).
You could see the belief come back into the CH team after Collins kicked this.
Incredible...
