| Behind the Lines & his fellow Athy cheerleaders have asked for an opinion on what I think will be our best championship 15. It's still a bit early, but here's what I think so far.
1. Shane Connolly 2. Peter Kelly 3. Ciaran Fitzpatrick 4. Hugh McGrillan 5. Morgan O'Flaherty 6. Mick Foley 7. Olly Lyons 8. Daryll Flynn 9. Dermot Earley 10. Eamonn's Callaghan 11. Eoghan O'Flaherty 12. James Kavanagh 13. Johnny Doyle 14. Tomás O'Connor 15. Padraig Fogarty/Seanie Johnson
I don't think this is how the team will line out but it's what I believe would be the best way to strengthen the lineup. Foley was an outstanding centre back when he captained the U/21's. Strong in the tackle & well able to win breaks and distribute. It will prevent scores coming through the centre easily & provide a fulcrum to build our attacks from. I would like to see us go back to the style of play we used last year, indeed I think we will when the important time of the season comes around. Perhaps this experiment of booming the ball into Tom is preparing a plan B. Thete are a couple of big reputations on the U/21 panel this year who have a lot to prove. If they can justify the plaudits that are being heaped on them, I believe Geezer & co will select 2 maybe 3 of them. Others like Smith, Conway,Sweeney, McLoughlin et al will form a strong bench.
Whatever the lineup - here's hoping its a winning year

Conway has to start for me, he's too good to leave on the bench.

| I actually forgot about Bolton. I'd have him in at 7 in place of Lyons. Conway - it'd depend on the game. If there was space & time available - yea, he's one to pick and flick passes. If its a tight hard hitting game, space at a premium & players needed to go win their own ball - he's not suited.

Anytime Mickey scores this year its from close range and is accurate close to goal. We have a great bench so any position is up for grabs. | |

| As the person who indirectly started this thread I have to say that Fone's team is the nearest to my choice. I think its a toss up between Ollie and Mikey for 7 and would try Kelly instead of O'Connor in the full forward line as defenders seem to have copped on to Tom's unwillingness to have a go himself. Also think Kelly deserves an extended run as he is a good scorer. Unfair to expect Earley to start matches given his age and recent injuries and the emergence of the "run all day " midfielfers such as McCauley. Only one Athy player on my 15 and I justify his selection on him being our only current All Star! | |

| All the different line ups and Alan Smith starts in none of them. Be interesting come c/ship. Geezer seems to have faith in him. See he started in Kerry today. I know its only a challenge but surely you set your stall out and try give guys time in d position that they will play come c/ship. Especially against stronger teams as its a good bench mark as to where the team is and how much work or tweeking is needed. JD in midfield. I bet he will play most of his football there this season too. | |

I would have him on the bench, and if things werent going right in the forwards or midfield, he would be some man to bring on. | |

No I am not taking the piss. We all know JD can play anywhere. He has slowed down a bit, and the days when we used to watch him race past defenders to the cries of " Skin him Johnny" are gone, but he still has the class I would like to leave him on the bench until the game settles down a bit, give management a bit of time to decide where he is needed most. | |
