Playing the new game is a different game.

It's a different mindset.

There's a lot of different skills involved.

And I'm just looking at, and I know we'll be talking about it later, and I'm just thinking the big shock news today is,

John Heslin is back on the Westmead panel to play in the Leinster final next Sunday.

And you'll start to say, absolutely brilliant, because he's one of the greatest Westmead footballers of all time.

What a leader.

Everything.

He can score.

He can win primary position.

But I was just thinking, no different than Comer and probably more different than Comer.

John Heslin hasn't played for two years at inter-county level.

Yeah, but at inter-county level, with the new rules, under pressure, 50,000 in Croke Park, ah, you can easily fall back into old habits.

Old habits are not hard.

Old habits are not hard.

You know what I mean?

Look, we've often talked about the last hurrah and players knowing when their time is up.

And the amount of inter-county players that I meet that regret retiring before...

their time, that they felt feckered.

Do you know what?
