[QUOTE="Killyoursons, post: 7416870, member: 6790"] Thanks Corky. Why do you think Wilk would play at corner-back if he returns? Afair he didn't play there on any of his appearances for this team last year. I'd have thought if he breaks into the team he would be best suited at hb or midfield. And while I have a lot of time for Darragh O'Sullivan, I would be much happier with him in the corner (which may not match how the management, or indeed the player himself, are thinking about deploying him). As regards Ben Walsh at 6, if he's good enough he's old enough (seven of Clare's minors from last year started for their U20s vs Limerick). I think placing him there flanked by, say, Dwyer and Tobin or Dwyer and Wilk would be a solid-looking line. And I don't think having a 6 who is more inclined to sit is incompatible with running the ball from defence. On the contrary, it lets the defence keep its shape when other players are bombing forward. (To be clear, I am not saying that Walsh definitely should play at 6, just that it's an option I hope the management take seriously.) Lastly, I agree that O'Connell would be better suited to midfield - one option might be to have him there and O'Regan at 12. Either way, while there are still a few questions wrt selection and positions, it's great to see so many promising candidates. [/QUOTE]
