Championship season has arrived as John Mullane and Eddie Brennan join Michael Verney to preview this weekend’s opening round of Munster and Leinster action.

Eddie breaks down how Clare will use Tony Kelly in a match-up with a Limerick side who may be losing hunger aiming to lay siege to Ennis. He also reminisces about his own time with Kilkenny chasing five-in-a-row, and offers his advice as to what the Treaty men must avoid.

Meanwhile, John gives his Braveheart speech of the creeping optimism in Waterford as rivals Cork come to the ‘Costa del Déise’ for their opening duel which could ‘go to the wire’.

Dick Clerkin and Colm Keys join Will Slattery on this week’s Throw-In Football Show after Dublin maintained their dominance over the Royals, albeit not with encouraging execution. A difference in kick-out approach was key - Colm breaks down how Dublin’s aggression displays the difference between the best and the rest, but also how Stephen Cluxton was uncharacteristically wayward with some of his kicks. Meanwhile, the standout Ulster Championship clash this weekend sees Donegal take on Derry - Dick discusses whether Jim McGuinness will go toe-to-toe with the league champions, or whether Donegal will look to shut up shop in a mouth-watering provincial clash.

Dick Clerkin and Frank Roche join Will Slattery on this week’s Throw-In Football show after the not-so-thunderous start to this year’s championship.

The 2024 Championship kicked off over the weekend, but low attendances and public attention means the conversation around the fixtures calendar continues to spark debate - with Dick stating that situations some counties are forced into is ‘not good enough’.

Meanwhile, ahead of their Leinster championship meeting with old rivals Dublin, Frank assesses whether Meath can pose a challenge in Croke Park, and the panel also discuss whether Kildare can hold up their end of the bargain and set up a semi-final against Louth.

Dick Clerkin and Donnchadh Boyle join Colm Keys on this week’s Throw-In Football Show to look back on Derry’s dramatic shoot-out victory over Dublin in the Division 1 final.

Dick explains why he believes the right team came out as victors, pointing out that Derry dominated possession in a game that was the culmination of years of hard work by an Oak Leaf side who have depth and are great at getting defenders on the scoresheet.

The game was a display of how good Gaelic football can be, so we discuss how this level of drama and quality can become the norm.

Meanwhile, Jim McGuinness is winning trophies again, and Donnchadh outlines their prospects for the future after a few selection calls that raised eyebrows in Donegal after their tight Division 2 final triumph.

Dick Clerkin and Conor McKeon join Will Slattery on the latest Throw-In Football show to look back on the final round of football league games before next week’s Divisional finals.

Dick sums it up as a dismal, drab campaign placing a lot of the blame on managers who were content with mid-table. Even Monaghan’s relegation wasn’t as big a deal, he says. All that matters is being in the last 16 for Sam.

With a League final between Dublin and Derry to look forward to, Conor reckons this is as good a squad Dublin have had in recent years. But have Dublin progressed so far or have others like Kerry actually regressed instead?

Eddie Brennan and John Mullane are back with Michael Verney on the latest Throw-In Hurling show as they discuss the hurling league semi-finals.

Was this an off day for Limerick or a sign of things to come? Does John Kiely have a lot of headaches now?  And what did Kilkenny get right? Was this just the win that Derek Lyng needed to kickstart their season?

For Clare, is Brian Lohan building something really formidable?  And can Tipp turn it around come Munster?

Plus, John Mullane’s bad memories of a Curragh training trip that he’ll never forget…..

Dick Clerkin and Donnchadh Boyle join Will Slattery on the latest Throw-In Football show and ask is the GAA is missing a promotional trick by not making a bigger deal of St Patrick's weekend now that the club finals are no longer in that slot?

As Dick points out, Man Utd v Liverpool was getting most of the attention in the club bar on St. Patrick’s Day – why couldn’t it have been Dublin v Kerry instead?

Plus, from the weekend action, there was Monaghan's relegation to Division 2 and other potential relegation/promotion battles are all up for discussion.

Frank Roche is joined by Eddie Brennan and John Mullane on this week's Throw-In Hurling show to discuss all the big talking points from the weekend hurling action.

With Galway having two sent off against Dublin last week and two more lucky to stay on against Limerick, Frank asks the panel if Galway have a discipline problem?

­Plus, why only a Leinster title will do for Henry Shefflin this year, why Derek Lyng's team needs to lay down a psychological marker against Limerick this Saturday and with Alan Connolly scoring back-to-back hat-tricks for Cork, have Eddie or John ever done similar?

John Mullane and Frank Roche join Michael Verney for the latest Throw-In Hurling show as they look back on all the weekend hurling league action.

The lads discuss Wexford’s win over Waterford which points to their bright future but Mullane says it was a missed opportunity for the Déise as they face relegation to the second tier next season.

Elsewhere, Clare’s form and confidence continues to grow with their win over Kilkenny while Limerick continued their 100% record with a one point victory over Tipperary.

Plus, John Mullane asks why ticket prices are so high for fans and says the GAA is missing a trick by not charging a tenner to get more crowds through the turnstiles to create better atmospheres in the grounds.
