- I was tryin to say that in gaa players can be the best shot stopers in the world but if their fielding is terrible they will not play (Gnevin 22:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC))

- Ok so the GAA cant get it right what to do ? Go with Center Half Back and Center Half Forward? These would be more common ?(Gnevin 22:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC))
- Also if we could get a version of that image it would be a good addition to this artical (Gnevin 22:59, 15 September 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Fixed positions
Why are the positions "fixed", why don't some teams play different formations as is common in soccer?GordyB 13:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Its to do with distance , the full forwards tend to be fast and can get in close to goal. Full backs tall to catch high balls while fast. Half forwards strong , can carry the ball well etc etc . Its sort of like Rugby Union where different aspects of the game require different skills Gnevin 20:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
