Appearances
You remember the ones in the first half that they got two or three fouls against them, but it's all around the 45 or the 21, which is fine, as opposed to allowing a team, you know, setting up your 13 men behind the ball, then putting in a swarm tackle on the edge of the D and giving away a fecking two-pointer free.
So they give them the allowance to say, boys, tackle hard up the pitch.
Even if you lose it, they're still 70 yards away from goal.
And that's what they've done.
And they went in, as opposed to many times we talked about it, and Mayo guilty of it, if you go back to Roscombe, passive tackling.
You're up to your man, but you're not putting on any contact.
You're letting on, you're codding people around you that you're tackling.
He said, boys, hit them, engage, make contact.
There's two marked here that sort of set the tone.
Dara Byrne threw himself in on Dylan Ganey around the 15th minute or thereabouts.
I think that sort of injured Ganey.
It wasn't a dirty tackle.
It was just a strong tackle.
Now, this is Dara Byrne, who's 19 at a corner forward, one player that shouldn't have to be going out making those, but he felt he was okay.
And there was another one then, Jack Cain went in very strong on Dylan Casey.
Again,
It was a bit high, but he went in strong.
He says, I'm going to commit myself to this tackle.
And if it goes against me, fair enough.
But they've made the decision.
