The latest high-profile player to leave is Oisín Mullin. Wishing for Mullin to return is, right now, fanciful, but there is no doubt his absence damages Mayo’s All-Ireland aspirations. Mullin is one of the best footballers in the country and over recent seasons he had become a key leadership figure on the Mayo team.
Off the bat, the Tribesmen could do with having a positive league campaign and starting the year strongly because there is no guarantee they could pick things up should they ship some early round losses.
