Donegal’s Michael Murphy is the latest big name player in Ulster to acknowledge that their tactics will have to change in order to challenge Dublin at Croke Park. Former All-Ireland winning captain Murphy has now conceded that Donegal will have to change their style too and introduce more long kicking than they’ve been used to. “We would have probably been perceived as more of a running based team, which traditionally has been our game in Donegal,” said Murphy. That’s maybe what it is, but that’s something we’re definitely trying to address. “You’d have to say that a lot of Ulster teams are ball carrying teams,” Murphy continued.
