@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter Dublin ladies did incredibly well to win AI’s in 23/25 after huge upheaval
An almost underrated achievement

@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter Maybe the case study is how to remain competitive during the change
What are the multitude of factors at play?
Squad depth, age profile, team cultures, backroom teams, preventing injuries, co boards. Then the immeasurable like the type of character that can leave a group

Incredible. But shows damage AFLW is doing to women's game. More power to girls involved, they gotta do what is right for them. But given there aren't that many retirements from that group, they're truly eye catching figures.
Also shows how well Meath did last year in spite of!

When Mary Kate Lynch leaves to play AFLW later this year, Emma Duggan will be the only player that started the 2021 All-Ireland final win over Dublin to be still involved with Meath ... huge turnover

@ShaneWall82 @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter Five Mayo survivors is definitely wrong. It’s ten at least off the top of my head
English
@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter And as regards lads v ladies retention…
Mayo played Tyrone in 2021 lads final
2021 v 2025 teams. Open to correction but taking 2021 v their last championship game in 2025 it looks to me like roughly 5 mayo survivors v 10 Tyrone
So I make it 13 ladies v 15 lads survived
English
@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter As regard Meath ladies v Dublin ladies, not much difference in numbers lost from 2021 to 2025
2021 v 2025 finals. 13 survivors available. 7 Dublin v 6 Meath
2026 could be a diff story…

Steeped in tradition. Shaped by the Kingdom.
Inspired by a century-old design of the 1926 All-Ireland winning jersey. 💚💛

Congrats @SkerriesHarps and @AnthonyMalone76. Some real gutsy wins along the way that none of us will forget

If you’re moving onto the Astro to keep your teams going over the winter here’s three games players love.
Our Astro is caged off with four goals but hopefully something to be got out of them if your conditions are different.

Watch the top players get their heads up
Before performing the skill there’s scanning, understanding & deciding
Not sure we help develop players enough in these 3 areas
Can we align our games, activities & coaching behaviours to help players perform the above in the chaos?

The dream is to assist and encourage players to:
🏐Observe the environment
🏐Understand the situation
🏐Make the right decision
🏐Execute the skill
Some games to help develop points 1-3

High quality basic skills
Incredible athleticism
Elite desire and hunger
But maybe most importantly a great team player, as typified by her wristband bearing her injured team mates initials
Congrats to Orlagh and the dubs on an outstanding performance
English
Spent two years working with this legend and she’s one of the very best in the business 👸
Did a remarkable job keeping the team competitive, picking up a Leinster and a promotion all through a huge transition of players
Best of all she did it with a smile 😊

U15 session a couple of weeks ago for anyone interested. Boys enjoyed it
Trying to put a bit of focus on the non dominant side
The dream is to be as comfortable on the ball as the Kerry boys 🏐🤤
Any improvements, let me know

Has there ever been a manager like McGuinness?
All his teams are next level when it comes to the basics
Desire, running, competing, contesting, level of focus and concentration
Everyone maxing themselves.
Incredibly admirable from the outside, inspirational on the inside.
