Cork Footballers

When did he say this. Jesus I wouldn’t is one the most exciting to come in the last 10 years. He has been on the panel for the last 3 years and I’ve only seen him play well once against Kerry.

I brought it up already in the 2023 thread.

Not many have scored goals like he did v Offaly and Limerick too last year. Important games for the progression of this team. Last year was his first real injury free year and did well. Hopefully a lot more to come!

Cathail O'Mahony's comments about hurling being more enjoyable to play paint a picture. I think when one of the most exciting prospects to come out of Cork football in a decade says something like that it shows you the real crux of the problem. If you've a chance to play one or the other for Cork, you're going to choose hurling.

Bit of a stretch. You could have maybe gotten away with that 2 years ago when he was out of u21, but he hasn’t adapted to senior well at all.

Also I wouldn’t read too much into what he said. He’s comparing junior hurling to I/C football. There’s obviously a far less cautious and tactical approach to play in junior hurling. The senior I/C game of hurling is a different beast. And beginning to resemble football in the middle third.

Also I'd be very strong on the opinion that Mark Keane is a much better hurler than footballer, as would many in his local area. Whether he's intercouty level is up for continued debate but i wouldn't lynch the lad for giving it a go!

Keane being considered in the half back line this year are the rumours.

If its centre back from what i saw we would be in serious trouble down the wings.

Both downeys, Coleman, Millerick, Joyce, Darragh OLeary all wingback options if required.

Funny that as not even on panel are the rumours too

Joyce will be number 6 but Keane definitely in the running for wingback as his hurling has gotten up to speed.....

Thats quite possible. It was said to me along with Hayes being involved. As Meatloaf said 'one out of two ain't bad'.

Joyce has to be centre-back, Cork's best player in 2022. He has proven at both U-20 and senior levels he is ready made for the position. If Cork needed to mould a centre-back then Robert or Eoin Downey may be worth considering but the necessity isn't there with Joyce at 6.

I saw Mark Keane playing last Sunday and on too many occasions he was beaten to the pitch of the ball by a 38 year old. Keane did sweep and get on a lot of ball but his deliveries were poor at times. He didn't dominate in the air like he did in the previous game. If he's in the Cork half-back line I don't think it should be centre-back.
