[QUOTE="CaptainSensible, post: 7056893, member: 34104"] I think Kyle Hayes was 19 when he won man of the match in the all-Ireland final at 11. The position was subsequently filled by Lynch when he was 21/22. The role of centre forward has changed from 10 years ago, in many cases they are given license to roam as opposed to being a target man (like Niall Mac), this is more how Lynch plays the position or how about Tony Kelly when he plays there, he pops up all over the place. A lot has to do with puck out strategy and as Cork generally don't belt it down the middle of the pitch (you can argue they should and pick a bigger player, but that is for another day) than I think he wasn't picked there to be a target man thus negating some of your arguments. In hindsight it didn't suit him or maybe he wasn't given long enough to grow into the role, but saying it was a mistake or not fair to try him out there does a disservice to the player himself more than anything else, I'm sure he was delighted at the time to be picked there.
