Fresh off the football break week, Pat Spillane and Dick Clerkin join Michael on this week’s Indo GAA show.
The panel chat through the curious ‘piggery’ comment from Kieran McGeeney, Donegal’s masterclass against Mayo, and the poor spectacle of Dublin v Monaghan in Croke Park.
Darragh Canavan’s travels to Australia, the fundraising culture in the GAA and Galway’s point of difference v Kerry were also up for discussion - as was Pat’s advice to his old friend Joe Brolly, upon his appointment to a new managerial position.
