No denying the selectors have a very tough job in store picking the team. A lot of difficult decisions to be made.
I don't see how the two posters above me can possibly think Kelly will start in goals. I've no problem with Kelly and rate him highly but Kealy did well in tipp and will retain his place justifiably.
The rest of the team is where it gets difficult.
From the last day Kerry have David moran and Paul murphy to come back into the 26. We then have the likes of James O Donoghue, Donnacha Walsh,Aidan O Mahony and Stephen O Brien vying very hard for starting spots,this is along with the likes of Tommy Walsh,Darran O Sullivan and Fionn Fitzgerald.
I would go with the exact same team as Timmy has except for the goalkeeper.Although i dont think there's any chance of Donaghy not starting with the captaincy.
It's going to be a very interesting team selection.

By Murt Murphy
Jack O’Connor is busy preparing the Kerry minor squad for a Munster final meeting with Tipperary on July 5, but while he fancies Kerry to win the senior final against Cork, he believes that it will be a lot closer than some pundits think.
He explained: “Strangely enough, I think that Cork are in a good position this year, because they have been written off a bit. The pressure will be on Kerry to perform. I suppose you would have to say Kerry are a small bit undercooked with James O’Donoghue not having a huge amount of football played. David Moran and Paul Murphy have also been injured, the Gooch is not back that long, and Tommy Walsh and Donnchadh Walsh having been carrying injuries. So it would be hard to see Kerry going as well this time last year.
“Then you can throw in the surprise element as that will be gone too.”
But O’Connor believes that being All-Ireland champions may give Kerry an edge: “Kerry will have gained an awful lot of confidence from winning the All-Ireland last year. They have a pretty set idea of how they want to play whereas Cork may not be one hundred per cent sure on how they are going to play. Kerry proved last year that they could adapt from game to game. Whether Cork have the players to adapt like Kerry, I have my doubts.”
ogically, O’Connor thinks Cork are in a better place than twelve months ago: “There is no pressure on them. All the pressure is on Kerry and Cork like playing in Killarney. Cork will not fear coming to Killarney, they like it in fact. The last time, Cork were down in Killarney, Kerry started very well but Cork fought back well in the second half and Kerry were hanging on”
But O’Connor still believes the Kingdom should prevail: “I still think they are the more settled side but I think Cork will set up better this year. Cork were caught last year with the way Kerry withdrew the half forward and thought they could run through the Kerry defence, but they got hit on the break.
“I don’t think Cork will leave oceans of space at the back again, so it might be a more cautious game by Cork. My old buddy Pat Flanagan is involved, so fitness will not be a problem.”
As for Tomás Ó Sé and his comments that suggested Cork were rudderless, O’Connor retorted: “Once the ball is thrown in, it will not matter too much. I don’t think there is no big deal about it. Maybe Tomás is hanging out with Joe Brolly too much!

The management team have a hell of a job ahead of them to pick a 26 man panel let alone a starting 15 due to the intense competition for place! However, I believe Fitz will trust in his great record of getting the match ups correct. Assuming that Cork will stick with the same forwards that excelled against Clare in the semi final, I believe Murphy is the ideal man to follow Kerrigan, Enright dominated Hurley in last years decider so I would keep him. I would pit the two veterans Marc and O'Connor against one another for one last time in a Munster decider, with Lyne being an ideal marker for Driscoll and I feel Killian would provide in form Collins with a stern test. For me the most important Cork forward is O'Neill and I feel that Mahony would have the necessary steel and experience to provide O'Neill with a tough task. The most dominated O'Neill was by an Kerry defender was at the hands of Tommy G in the '09 final despite a bad start Tommy showed his resilience and toughness to beat the Corkman, which are two attributes Mahony has in abundance. In terms of the forwards I believe JOD and Gooch will cut reck!

How do people think this will pan out? Been a while since Cork gave it a really good rattle. Cuthbert seems to have lacked alot in terms of prep and tactics in any really big games so far.

Cork were goal hungry in the league and to good effect for the most part especially against us. We can at least thank them for giving us a heads up. Midfield and the half forwards will have huge role to play in ensuring we win the centre thus keeping pressure off our backs. |

Reading Mike Quirke, he was saying that Pat Flanagan who is coaching Cork at moment is a great believer in a side having one or two days where they can really play with full intensity and at the peak of their ability. He reckons, Cork will mark Sunday off as one of those days. So taking on board that bit of insight and the fact Cork man to man are not a whole lot off us Id say it will be a close one. As often is the case when we meet in Killarney. Cork destroyed us with pace going forward in Parc Ui Rinn, you could argue that Kerry were still behind Cork in their development, but you would still have to worried about how badly we were cut open. I still think or forwards have too much for them to handle and don't think Cork have progressed enough to put a pad lock on our lads, but still you'd never know what can be going on behind closed doors. |

It would be no shock if Cork won this game. The recent NFL game can't be just dismissed. |

Midfield will probably be pretty crucial. Whoever gets the better ball into their forwards will have a big advantage because I'd rate either forward line ahead of either backline.
Having someone mark Collins out of the game would go a long way towards a Kerry victory. Hard running to stymie their half back line will also be crucial.
Kerry should win by three or four, but that's only the kick of a ball so no surprise if Cork were to hornswaggle it.

I think if Kerry shut down the flow channels into the Cork fullforward line it will go a long way in winning the tie. We might see some form of a rug applied rather than the full blanket.

Not Joe. He's reffing his old pals the Dubs in Croker in a few weeks in the Leinster final. We have Padraig Hughes from Armagh for this Sunday. I think he was in charge of a Kerry-Cork game in Killarney before, the day Gooch missed the penalty maybe? Nope, it was in 06 when he wrongly sent Donaghy off on a second yellow. I'm sure the fact that he had sent off Lynch earlier had nothing to do with it!!!!!! |

Kealy in goal. I worry about him as I am always waiting for him to make that error he usually seems to make and wonder what the consequences will be. If Donaghy gets a yellow for mouthing he should be immediately replaced. He needs to learn his manners especially now that he is captain. What impact has Galvin on the training? Hopefully Kerry will win more breaking ball. The last time I saw Kerry "live" was in Tralee V Donegal and for the last 10 minutes of that game Donegal won all breaking ball. It takes courage combined with intelligence to win breaking ball and Galvin was one of the few players who has/had both. The weather forecast does not look great for the weekend. Hope the game is not greatly impacted by wind and rain. The treble. Juniors won, the minors will win and hopefully the seniors will do it. Are the Kerry management team so confident that they feel they cannot make a mistake in team selection/substitutions? Close games are most often won by teams that make the least mistakes. However I think Kerry by 4 points.

Quick question, just want to check, if ends in draw it is a straight replay ie no extra time. Is that correct?
