I'd rather see him in an attacking role, either wing-forward or full-forward. Contrary to what you suggest, I'd say nowadays midfielders and centre-forwards have less room than players on the wings, as teams will drop their half-forwards deep and funnel towards the centre of the pitch to prevent runs at goal or shots for points from relatively easy positions (i.e., in front of the goal inside your own 65). It seems to me (just based on what I've observed) you're more likely to create one-on-ones on the wing or in the full-forward line with quick ball in. And I think that would suit O'Mahony best to be able to take on one man, as one of his great strengths is carrying the ball and this can be a liability if the opposition can swarm you.Tend to agree with that. Will be a fascinating one to watch over the coming weeks as I still find it hard to peg him down in 1 particular role. I don’t think the open spaces of 6,8,9,11 suit him - he’s a bit quirky mentally and does the odd mad thing every so often. Then there’s been times over the last couple of years where he’s running in from the wing getting goals where he looks like one of the top hurlers in the country.
The defensive problems looked to be attitude / technique and probably fixable with Ryan & co (he has the physique and cutting). I’d probably land on 10 or 12 as his best position but we may need him at 5 again and with the arrival of Cunningham, Hayes, and return of Dalton, that might be ok
Would like to see him in the half forward line, possibly at centre forward. Could rotate himself and Fitzgibbon between midfield and centre forward throughout the game.Tim o Mahony for me should be either centre or full forward
Shane is a fella I think has bags full of potential. I truly believe he has what it takes to be one of the best forwards in Ireland. Hoping he can come into his own this yearKingston needs to be confined to the role of super sub. Tbf, few play it better.
Hopefully he has bulked up a bit. No doubting the ability and talent, but his best days so far, have been when he has been sprung from the bench.Shane is a fella I think has bags full of potential.
