Dublin are going nowhere with that half-back line. Don't get me wrong the guys selected are to a man fine players defensively. On the ball however...ouch! Colin Moran is needed back to full fitness pronto. A fit and in-form Paddy Christie would also release Barry Cahill to play further out the field.
I have to say, the midfield axis of Whelan and Ryan has never really impressed me either.
Bonner is an interesting choice. I'd have probably gone for Declan Lally to be honest.
By the way, although it doesn't sound like it, I'm actually quite optimistic this year!

One of the lads in work plays with Christie for Ballymun Kickhams and says there is feck all chance of him playing at all for Dublin this season. He's lost all of his form, is unfit and keeps picking up niggly injuries. He's nowhere near inter-county level at the moment.Duke Raoul wrote:A fit and in-form Paddy Christie would also release Barry Cahill to play further out the field.

Yep, that's the word on the street right enough. He's been one of the Greats though has Paddy. Hopefully there will be another full-back along off the Kickhams conveyor belt soon.Leinsterman wrote:One of the lads in work plays with Christie for Ballymun Kickhams and says there is feck all chance of him playing at all for Dublin this season.

Dublin will not win an All-Ireland with that midfield and in fact I'll think they'll struggle to win a Leinster, Whelan for all his talents just disappears too much and Shane Ryan is he even a footballer
Would actually move Brogan in full-forward, I think he gets a bit lost at CHF and if I was marking Goggins I would just run at him all day. That team will beat Longford but in Croke Park against a Laois they might struggle through the middle.

I'd agree with that Colm. Ryaner would probably be one of the best wing-backs in the country...if he ever got to play there. His versatility has really seen him messed around in the last few years.Colm wrote:Shane Ryan is the work horse of the Dublin team ...groundhog wrote:Shane Ryan is he even a footballer
I do think he would be best served in the half back line with Magee partnering Whelan in midfield but we won't have Magree back for a few weeks.

Dead on Duke. Unfortunately Whelan doesn't put in the work for the full game. Whelan explodes out of the blocks, sometimes a little too over-enthusiastically (Remember getting a Yellow Card BEFORE the throw in against Meath last year .. .savage punch tho!) so I can understand Pillar sticking Ryaner in beside him.Duke Raoul wrote:I'd agree with that Colm.

Dublin will only get so far in the Championship as the GAA need them to fill Croke Park. With Meath and possibly Kildare out, Croker won't be full for any Leinster Championship fixtures unless the Dubs are there. They will be kept in the competition until such time as Croke Park has other fixtures that will fill it ! Oh, and expect a few "Draws" to be thrown in there, to allow those Gullible enough, think that their making progress !!Colm wrote:Dead on Duke.

Eh ... This is Leinster football ... not Ulster Football. Check the amount of draws in Ulster compared to the amount of draws in Leinster last year.CRAZYDAVE wrote:Dublin will only get so far in the Championship as the GAA need them to fill Croke Park.

I have this theory right, I reckon that JFK wasn't assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald at all. Oswald was in fact nothing more than a patsy for a cabal of Mafia/CIA/Cuban/Leinster Council conspirators. Are you with me?
