John Mullane

you know, he went with the same six packs.

He said, right, I'm going to give you, give you an opportunity to go and go and redeem yourselves from, from last September.

I'm going to give you an opportunity to redeem yourselves from the league final.

But it was the manner in the way he structured his team.

His defense got an awful lot of protection with his half-hour line dropping back, Barry Welch dropping back, Fitzgibbon dropping back.

And,

What's his name in the middle of the field?

Tommy O'Connell.

Tommy O'Connell, again, a newcomer.

He dropped back.

The positional changes, he got the match-ups right, but Rob Downey's starting off on young...

Stephen Tobin.

Young Stephen Tobin in the full back line.

Put Joyce on John McGrath.

Put O'Leary out on... Armand.

Put O'Leary out on Armand.

So he went after Armand and he went after Jake Morris, their early doors.

You know, curtailed their influence.

And then in the second half, you know yourself, Pat, from being a forward, yourself being a forward, if you're not...

in the game, early doors, you're not getting on ball, you know, then you can kind of start saying, you're kind of saying, oh Jesus, you know, I'm not in the game, I'm not in the game.
