And I do appreciate the point as well that matched

not every county has to wait until the all-ireland final is over to play look at tip they're going right up against the all-ireland football final there but at the same time i think a lot of counties do hold back and in the recent experience of some of the counties after the first year of the split season they decided to try and go a little bit closer to the provincials because some counties felt they were finishing up too early and then their champions were disadvantaged for me i think you should always be picking a games program over how your county do in the in the provincial series but matched

I can understand why some clubs would want it to go further. matched

I think we are still tinkering with it a little bit, but I genuinely don't think that from the GAA's point of view they've gone, ooh, here's a fantastic opportunity to get concerts in versus playing the season a little bit later. matched

Because ultimately, why would you be playing one or two games in late July, early August anyway? matched

Because you'd be into only semi-finals and final anyway. matched

Actually, look, the Camogie and Ladies Football finals are going to be in Crowe Park over the next... matched

couple of weeks anyway and look there's there's probably a bigger argument that those seasons should be decoupled i think rather than pushing back in the year but to danny's second point i'll let you both take a scale you can have first shout in it um is it fair that we do put as much weight onto the final because remember the argument last year was that we're going into that final brian hayes was i think favorite for hurler of the year coming out the semi-final weekend matched

then he is a quiet final and straight away he goes out with the conversation. matched

Maybe lads can play themselves into All-Star talk or Hurler of the Year talk if they have a particularly good final. matched

Is it fair that we judge the final massively and as the most recent game? matched

Or would you prefer it to be like Australia where an all-Australian team is named before the grand final even takes place? matched

I would, yeah.

I think the NFL dot this, when I go to the, you're going to AFL, Will, I'm going to NFL.

You go NFL, this is your homeland.

Yeah, they do the All-Pro and the All-Second Team Pro before the Super Bowl, so all awards are issued out prior.

Now, that's a voting contest, which I don't like either, because essentially, I don't like votes when they go across the board, because it's basically a popularity contest.

Whereas I like a few level-headed people, whether that be journalists or experts, whatever, to sit down on a table and debate it and then come to an agreement in terms of your best 15.

I'd like to see a first 15 and a second 15.

I think that should be introduced, personally.
