[QUOTE="Corkonian1, post: 6958319, member: 46698"] Thistlecrack James Sweeney was poor v Glen Rovers this year but he was outstanding v Midleton last year and that so-called poor Midleton side are now county champions. The development of players is key and its not happening under Cork senior management. Ciarmhac Smyth was poor v Limerick minors last December and he was excellent in this year's County Senior final, everyone is now talking about the Ben O'Connor factor regarding Smyth and some of his teamates. When Eoin Cadogan and Sweeney had a good tussle last year Sars mentors moved Sweeney to the inside line for the Ballyhea and Erins Own games which was like playing a square peg in a round hole. IMO his confidence went downhill and he has since struggled. Ideally Sweeney should have been looked at by Cork in the 2021 National league but this is is where the Munster senior league could be utilised next month but between the Cork senior management and County Board they've refused to enter a team. The management are now obsessed with youth and the U-20 AI winning squads, the vibes are coming from the Cork media every day. Colin O'Brien will be the go to player in the 2022 League campaign and if he delivers on his potential most folk will refer to his U-20 performances with Cork before the AI final when he was taken off and if he doesn't deliver they will refer to him playing junior hurling and Avondhu having no divisional senior hurling team. Sean Twomey will also feature as soon as his club are no longer involved in championship. The O'Brien/Twomey pair could have been the Sweeney/AN Other pair in 2021 but the management renagued and the likelihood is that those poor selectoral decisions will remain in 2022. Ciaran Joyce certainly deserves game time at centre-back but surely Tommy O'Connell has to be played there first. Same applies to Daire O'Leary for full-back when you haven't played Colm Barry or Ryan Walsh there and used Robert Downey as a stop gap for the position rather than give him game time in the position. Roll on 2022 and all will be revealed. [/QUOTE]
