I expect Erickson will develop. I was very critical of McGillicuddy's play last year when he converted to SSDM, but he's doing great now. Sometimes I see that #6 jersey and forget it's not Benus out there anymore. Sally also was a bit inconsistent when he first arrived, and look at him now. I think this staff does an amazing job at developing SSDMs.Formerhound wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 4:37 pmI think Murphy regressed big time this year. Cote played very little. I see Binney, Kamish and McGorry as second line middies. I see Haberman and McCullough backing up the attack group. Haberman could challenge for second line middie but he also regressed this year. It’s a long season and these freshmen who looked so good early really did nothing as season progressed. Even Minicus looked spent the last few games. It’s not a sprint. Hopefully Brown and Sullivan come back. Brown had bad back I heard and Sullivan was ACL. McGorry practiced fully at season end so he should be healthy.houndace1 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 4:11 pm Mcgorry, Hugh brown and Jacob Sullivan all coming back from injury should help bolster the midfield a bit. Lineup changes and discussions always welcome!
Heuston lindsay and higgins are the 1st line after this season. Once higgins recovers from his nagging injuries I really hope and think he will consistently produce. The team is not only going to need outside shooters not named Joey kamish, but they’re going to need speed. Ryan mcgorry and Brown have the shoot strength and speed, while Sullivan has slippery moves.
2nd line- Murphy? Cote? Binney earned more PT after today
Need to figure out FOGO as well as DMid and close. Bean, Fairy, Houlihan and Roman should be solid on D. Wasn’t impressed with Erickson as a d-mid. Too many turnovers. Thought Callahan played well when he got the chance but he is small. Sally and Sherwood along with McGillicudy will all be back.
If we can get good FOGO play next year team will be fine.
Regarding middies, I would love to see Dixon finally get healthy. He has had the worst luck imaginable - illness, then broken jaw, then badly sprained ankle.
