Cork Footballers

[Geno]

difficult to get out of this abyss,
fact is we have been punching well below our weight now for a decade,
I know we have been unlucky with injuries, dual players, Aussie rules etc but other counties also have these issues.
should be at least in D1/2(top 10) and qfs every year,
something like 200 adult clubs all with a football team,
need to look for guys between 19 and 22 who have potential to develop over 3 to 5 years,
Billy Morgan did this from 2004 to 2007,
I would also even say not to bother with dual players.

200 clubs all with a football team … that’s BS , a good chunk of these are no more than social teams … anyone with a cursory knowledge of Cork GAA knows this ….

These “social teams” can produce a cork star just as well as a club like the Barrs or nemo could, obviously not the same volume of players but every once in a while it’s possible

To imply any club in cork is not worth while or trying to disregard them is a bit unfair in my opinion

I believe there was a first team match vs Dublin seniors in the Pairc yesterday

They won I think …. The double is on

Think McSweeney could do well with the new 2 point rule and hopefully Dano can get a good run
Praying no injuries or we’re in big trouble but they will obviously happen with Cork football

I think they will struggle hugely, very
Limited up front and at midfield, think we have some good defenders. Serious lack of depth up front relying on at least 2 players who are injury prone to say the least, still no free taker.
While I don’t think they will capitulate to anyone I would think a position broadly similar to the last few years a middling division 2 team

 

[CORK1990]

Conor Corbett will be out for a good while yet i presume and whats the story with Luke Fahy is he injured still i wonder ?
Sean Dore, Colin Mulloy, Briain Murphy, Sean Furey are supposed to be new to the panel...???
Dano Dineen is back again
would love to see Rory Shaughnessy , Mickey O Connell both St Michaels involved i think two very good prospects ...likewise Eanna O Hanlon if like a lot of Cork Footballers can stay injury free would be a good addition ...also would like to see young Jack O Neill of Castlehaven there and Colin Walsh before the hurlers get him !! to join his brother.

Dano and Mcsweeney are not intercounty standard.We have seen both and not up 2 it.We need new young fresh players to be given a chance.

Apologies , it is unfair …. But there are a lot of clubs in Cork which are in essence hurling clubs and the likelihood of producing an inter county senior footballer is very remote … there are Division 6 clubs in Kerry which despite very limited playing resources still produce inter county minors , 20s and Seniors

 

[Highballinlow]

Forgetting two very good young footballers from North Cork who are also new on the panel . Sean McDonnell (Malllow) and Sean Walsh (Mitchelstown)

 

[Dagame]

Gerry O Sullivan also new to the panel.
