Post by GreatDayForTheParish »

Can somebody provide one good reason as to why Dylan Hayden is not being tried in the half forward line?

Well its one i have asked for the last few months watching all offalys games in the league we have lost the half forward line battle again other countie's
half back lines. The thing about Dylan Hayden he can play in a number of position's on the field he was tried in the corner forward a few years ago against kilkenny
and didn't go that well.

He is not a player for the full forward line as proved last sunday when birr played him there again kinnitty. he needs space i think midfield or half forward he would do
a job for the offaly hurler's. As for playing him in the half back line he does well there as well had a good game against cork in the league there this year.
Dylan has a great strike of a ball and if he gets room he can score from out the field.

I remember him having one of his best game's ever again ballyhale shamrock's in nowlan park for Birr in 2007 he was in the half back line that day
and done a great job on T J Reid . he also had a great game again coolderry last year in the back line in kinnitty in the championship .

Thats why i say Joe Dooley has him in the back line, myself i think we have enough in the back line and lack someone to catch our own puck out and put in over
the black spot from out the field and i think Hayden is well able to do that in the midfield or half forward line.
