Two reasons not to bet on Galway

I enjoyed the Galway Leitrim game yesterday and especially the performance of former All Star Padraig Joyce.
Joyce is simply a class act, a player who always played with some grace, intelligence and skill.
He had it all including speed off the mark and his quick thinking unlocked many a defence over the years.
However, Padraig in my view was last a great player three to four seasons back and his best work in a Galway jersey goes back for me to the great side of '98 to '01.
He has been one of the best forwards in the country over the last ten years but Galway's continued dependence on Joyce to produce the goods is one of two reasons why I won't be rushing out to the bookies to put what's left of the equity on the house on the Tribesmen.
Joyce has lost a little of the pace which made him the scourge of defences up and down the country but he still knows where the onion is and he gave a masterclass in finishing against Leitrim in yesterday's Connacht semi final.
However, Leitrim are not one of the country's top sides, they're not even near it and yet most of what was good about the Tribesmen's attack came through Joyce.
The other reason why Galway won't win the Sam Maguire is that their defence leaks like a sieve.
That's ok in Connacht although Mayo may have other ideas. However, Galway's cavalier style, no matter how pleasing on the eye, won't cut it in the latter stages of the championship, not because there's anything wrong with the attack mindedness of Liam Sammons' team but because they can't defend for shite.
I wonder is Sammon playing the old double bluff that his team are going to play pretty because they believe in it and they will then review their tactics when they come up against better opposition later in the season.
I hope so as I am a fan of the way Tribesmen play but if they are to get back to the top table they will have to plug the gaps in defence.
