Liam Kearns taking over Tipp. Is he the right man to attempt building on recent underage success?

Kerry quartet face length lay-offs
Up to four of Kerry’s front line players will miss the majority of next year’s Allianz Football League after undergoing serious off-season surgery.
Paul Geaney, Anthony Maher, Mikey Geaney and Peter Crowley have all had, or are facing, operations, while a decision is yet to be made on James O’Donoghue’s troublesome shoulder problem.
Dingle attacker Paul Geaney has already had back surgery since the All-Ireland final and is now facing a shoulder operation. Peter Crowley will shortly have a shoulder operation too, while Anthony Maher — hoping to pick up his first All Star tonight — will be out for a number of months after undergoing hip surgery.
All three are expected to be out of action until March at the earliest, ruling them out of the majority of the Kingdom’s National League Division 1 programme, which kicks off on January 30th with a visit to All-Ireland champions, Dublin. Dingle’s Mikey Geaney has already had back surgery, and should be back for the League.
Kerry management are adopting a wait-and-see approach on James O’Donoghue. The Legion man plays a Kerry SFC final on Sunday against South Kerry, and with a victory for the Killarney club, could be installed as Kerry captain for 2016. Victory on Sunday would also mean Legion enter the Munster Club SFC championship, muddying the waters further in terms of O’Donoghue’s potential surgery and rehab. However, the Legion man has had no major issues with the shoulder since falling awkwardly on it in the All-Ireland quarter-final against Kildare.
The absence of Paul and Mikey Geaney would also seriously undermine Dingle’s efforts in the Munster SFC Club championship. They would represent Kerry if Legion fail to win Sunday’s county final.
In his four years in charge, Eamonn Fitzmaurice has yet to have anything close to a full deck going into the NFL and will use the McGrath Cup to blood some younger talent - if the pre-season competition proceeds that is. The Munster Council met last night with all counties to establish their interest in the secondary competitions and discuss possible tweaking of the format.
Kerry will resume training next month and travel on a winter holiday to Miami and Orlando over the Christmas holiday period.
Irish Examiner
Shoulder injuries are rare enough but 3 or 4 that require operations in about a year – P Geaney, Crowley and O’Donoghue (2 maybe) plus back surgery and hip surgery suggests that something is very wrong.
Under Cian O’Neill they had a drill where they would win the breaking ball by diving in before the ball hit the ground and collecting it with both hands, land on their side and use their momentum to get straight back on their feet. Strangely enough Murphy used it more than most but maybe having a lighter frame he seem to have escaped.

Am glad for the 4 Kerry players recognised, especially Donnchadh Walsh.
Thin gruel without the All-Ireland though.

Four of the players who don't play for Kerry have at least one Kerry parent.

Nice for the 4 lads to win their first award. They would all usually be in the unsung hero category.

Don't understand AOS getting one. Did zilch when it mattered.
Andrews can feel aggrieved, torched Higgins for 5 pts in the semi, had a good final too. Something wrong when the best and most attacking team in the country only get 2 in the forwards.

Something wrong when the best and most attacking team in the country only get 2 in the forwards. The same best and most attacking team that scored the grand total of 12 points in the final. No, that should be 8 points from the forward unit with four of them from play.

Something wrong when the best and most attacking team in the country only get 2 in the forwards. I'd imagine that most people would feel that Andrews turned in the two best games of his life in the semi and final and while they were decent performance they weren't all that exceptional. Andrews has been around the Dublin panel for a long time (been on the panel since 2008) and his career to date has overall been fairly unimpressive - I would suspect that a lot of folk would be of the opinion that these were just 2 decent games in a row and the likelihood of him continuing to maintain the form he showed in those two games unlikely. Was just looking at the odds for next year's POTY on PaddyPower and Andrews isn't even named and the odds go all the way out to 500/1 shots.

Would leave out AOS and possibly Walsh, I know I'll be lynched for suggesting the latter. I acknowledge his honesty and hard work but All Star forwards should have a sprinkling of star dust and I'm not too sure Walsh has that x factor. I have concluded that O'Connor is Mayos main man, full stop.

A school boy prodigy but not in that position funny enough...

Especially when the only sweeper in the game was Cian O Sullivan sitting in front of the full back line!!! And I'm not saying that was a bad thing either!!!!

Aiden OShea was asked to do the job of a few men on his own. That he had a decent shot at it means he deserves his award. Philly was far ahead of all others for player of the year but the gouger aspect meant that he did get it.

Cillian o Connor was very average this year. His brother was much better Have no problem with AOS, Donaghy gets on me wick because of all the mouthing and moaning. AOS can thank Brolly for his award, basically claiming he is unplayable if you don't have a plan for him. POTY my hole. This is IC football, plans are made, overcome them, don't let your marker outscore you. COC didn't miss a thing when it mattered, huge tally over two semis, including a goal from play and a pen. You could put your house on him. His brother is decent, but not even the best player in his own house!

Agreed, a player who plays like Philly does doesn't deserve the plaudits for player of the year. Mc Caffrey was outstanding all year and deserved the award. Aidan O Shea was excellent in enough games this year to merit an award. Donaghy got an award based on 2 and a bit games last year.

Would have been shameful if he finished his career without one.
