The panel will need more than just the 2 current half backs you know !!
Tomas is playing out of his skin this year so will definitely be looked at no matter what some peopleâs opinion of him is , and rightly so as every player who is going well should.
I know Iâm biased but in Parnells this year we played most games with 13 or 14 local lads and only 1 played under age for Dublin there are one or two others that are playing very well that wouldnât be to far from county standard and thatâs just Parnells just because the minor manger at the time didnât rate them that shouldnât rule them out for senior
At the very least like was done with the football a few years back gilroy should hold a couple of trial games and take a look at some of the players out there for me the crumlin number 6 this year donât know his name was very good and the wing forward from olafs was very good and Raheny midfielder best player in senior b final
Lucan and Vincents both have a few players yesterday who wouldnât have been in the reckoning before (I think) with Dublin but could be. The Lucan number 11 was very good, as was the other (younger) Crummy. Moore of Vincents looked good too and Cian McBride. There were other guys that have the hurling but look as if the would need a lot of work on conditioning to make it to inter county. Club hurling is well of club football in terms of fitness levels (even at All Ireland club level).
I wasnât sure, but looking at him yesterday I think he will. Sure, based on yesterdayâs performance you wouldnât be parachuting him straight onto a Dublin 15. But given where he is now, and where he was in the past, the gap isnât as big as I thought it might be.
I canât account for the fact that he might not want to do it, or that Gilroy might not want to spend the extra time on him he needs. But if everything is right, itâs doable.
