Cork hurling goalkeepers 2022

[HighHorse]

Podge Buckley mallow class keeper

Played in goals for London Seniors for 2 years I think...

I'd be very much in favour of Dalton getting a chance in goals. Give him the pre season games. If he impresses then let him fight it out with Collins during the league. If he doesn't then try him in the forwards during the league.

If it's to be Dalton or somebody else, I think most, if not indeed all of us, are agreed that Collins and more importantly Cork can only benefit from real competition for the goal keeper jersey.

Here’s an idea - why not bring in 7/8 of the keepers who showed best after club championship for a trial morning? Put them through their paces and pick 1/2 of the best there. Assuming Collins is under pressure that is.

 

[Thehighroad]

I hope he doesn't. Between Senior Prem and A there are 24 keepers playing regularly and people want a keeper who hasn't played in goal since 2017 and not even with his club, beggars belief really. You'd swear goal-keeping isn't a specialised position and it's not like we are even talking an all star keeper here.

Nickie Quaid & Eoin Murphy never play in goals with their clubs & never have, they seem to be doing ok at intercounty level. We keep giving out about puckouts etc going wrong, well Dalton is the best striker of a ball in Cork & it may be worth a try. Restarts are more important in hurling now & we are not good at it.

 

[SoundMan]

No he is not. No relation.

Thanks. I would've thought grandson rather than son if anything. Just wondered. Thanks lads.

He's some man for one man.

I know Ger Cunningham used to win the long puc in the Cooley Mountains and all that but the game has changed and it's no longer about the keeper trying to rain balls down on the opposition 40 for an aerial duel between our centreforward and their centreback.

Ger used his long puck well in1990 when he bypassed, finnerty, mcinerney and keady,

Exactly.

The goalkeeping position seems a bit of a cosy cartel at the moment and resulted in some big blunders over the course of this season culminating in the Galway performance.

Collins is a good goalkeeper I'm just unsure he is elite level. I just don't think he has improved over the last year, maybe that was management's fault. Time will tell.

 

[leeside_rebel]

I think Collins will be rejuvenated under new management and different tactics.
I predict he'll win an all star at some stage over next 3 seasons.

I noticed collins starting to come out more off his line this year and then went to ground and made very few saves. I always feel hurling goalies should stay on their goal line more as there is not the same need to narrow the angle like in other sports....they are holding a hurley after all. Previously collins was exceptional at making refex saves from the goal line....
