We need to see something new at keeper for the next game and need to start showing more urgency both from the keeper and from his intended targets out the field from restart. We are too bloody slow getting the ball forward where we have an abundance of talent.

Will JOD, Paul Geaney amd Anthony Maher be back soon fully recovered, fit and well? We would struggle to be in the top 3 teams without them... Has the 2014 minor keeper Shane Ryan been called up at all?Still injured I believe.

Has the 2014 minor keeper Shane Ryan been called up at all?Still injured I believe. Maher doubt for ChampionshipThere is growing concern that 2014 All Star Anthony Maher may struggle to play any Championship football this summer as he has yet to resume full training with the Kerry squad. Maher hasn't kicked a ball in anger since last September. He had an operation on his hip and was expected to make his return to the Kerry set-up in March. However complications have arisen with his hip and though he has re-joined his Kerry teammates, he is confined to training on his own, running only in straight lines and kicking no ball yet. It seems certain that the brilliant Duagh midfielder will play no part in the Munster campaign.

It was a nice read for obvious reasons, not entirely sure how sincere it is though. Feels like the writer has just spotted a gap in the market. Quoting a few lines from Sweeney's article "if you listen back to the commentary on the game that wasn't how it looked at the time" "Those canny souls in the bookies are certainly doing so: they have Dublin at 11/10 and Kerry at 3/1, which indicates a certain scepticism about the foregone conclusion theory. Kilkenny at 7/4 to second favourite Tipperary's 4/1 are hotter fancies yet few people are calling the hurling championship a walkover." Not making a whole pile of sense but hopefully he will be right, if for all the wrong reasons, and then we will hail him as The Salmon of Knowledge.

This reminds me of that where Gemma Craven is sitting next to Fr Ted on the sofa and she is getting all arty and cultural and he hasnt the foggiest clue what she is talking about. I feel like Fr Ted with this.

Clare beat an awfully poor Kildare team. They were lucky to do so to as Kildare should have been out the gate on several occasions during the game. Kerry will take care of them without too much fuss. The gap between Kerry and Clare at senior level is huge and I don't expect anything other than a comfortable enough victory against them.
I'm also getting tired of Cork being talked up. They are just as likely to massively under perform as they are to perform to their ability. Last year's qualifier loss to Kildare spoke volumes to me about their ability to perform and dig it out when needed. Lost 2 influential players and they crumbled. Despite all the negativity after the final loss to Dublin, Kerry are closer to beating Dublin than any other county bar Mayo. It was disappointing that we did very little different against Dublin in the league final. Eamon & co need to be bold and put trust in some of the young lads. Finish out the last 25 minutes with Aidan, Marc etc on the pitch. The day of the catch & kick midfielder is at an ebb. We were hosed in midfield in both finals by pacier players who could play a bit too. We can't keep going to war with artillery that keeps misfiring. Pace from 5 to 12.

We were hosed in midfield in both finals by pacier players who could play a bit too. We can't keep going to war with artillery that keeps misfiring. Pace from 5 to 12. I agree that more speed and higher work rate are needed all over the pitch. I think that Eamonn went up to the league final thinking that with their recent form in the league could pull off a victory. They stayed the pace for 64 minutes which in one way is somewhat reassuring but then were given a lesson on what is needed in August. We will beat Clare & Cork (or whoever) in Munster – but Eamonn must start building the team from the start. I think Griffin, Enright and Crowley are sure of a place in defence. Lyne will be in for speed and stamina and O’Beaglaoich will be in too for speed of reaction. The sixth place could go to Brendan O’Sullivan as he is not as badly needed in attack. Moran & Maher (if available) will be at 8 & 9. I think statistics mean nothing and Moran is a case in point. He gets a huge number of “possessions” in games but this does not results in midfield dominance. Taking a pass, turning back and offloading to a half back who is immediately surrounded isn’t much use. He must use the ball to set up attacks inside the 40. (Maybe we need statistics about the statistics!!!)
In attack Murphy, Darran, Cooper & O’Brien are fairly sure to start based on league form. I would like to see Paul Geaney and James O’Donoghue back in there too. Alan Fitzgerald, if he keeps up his form will be pushing hard here. Eamonn might experiment against Clare but the team that I would like to see in the Munster Final with a view to preparing for later is B Kealy, (don't read too much into kickouts in league final) O’Beaglaoich, Griffin, Enright, (Marc to come on) O’Sullivan, Crowley, Lyne, Moran, Maher, Darran, Murphy, O’Brien, O’Donoghue, P Geaney, Cooper, (Alan Fitzgerald & Donaghy & Sheehan to come on)

They have some good players, their half back and forward line looks useful, the fullback line very physical.Ian Maguire a very strong addition to their midfield and Kelliher in the forwards plus O Neill, Hurley etc

I have read a couple of posters name Brendan O'Sullivan in the backs in their teams, I don't get it. Has Brendan O'Sullivan ever played in the backs? Correct me if I am wrong on that one but I really don't think he could play wing back or centre back at this level. I think Brendan will be most effective as an impact sub around the middle during the Summer, might find things more difficult starting a game. I'd personally bring Paul Murphy back to defence, he has been good at 11 but we need all the help we can get at the back. There is plenty of forwards there, I don't understand why you would also play one of your best backs there too.
I'd find it hard to believe that O'Beaglaioch would be really ready for Championship too at this stage but you have to start them somewhere I suppose. If he does play I would definitely start him off at wing back.
I know Marc got a roasting the last day but I wouldn't be writing him off too quick, still one of the best and for me must start. What do people think about Paul Murphy playing corner back? Lacking height for it? Such a good defender, can't have him in the forwards.

Cork are well capable of beating Kerry. That's not my point. My point is that they don't have the consistency required to be called a top team. They're as likely to fall flat on their arses as they are to beat us. Teams like that don't win all Irelands.

Also the record of teams who get relegated from Division 1 in recent years has been woeful in that years championship - maybe Cork might buck this somewhat as they weren't in as awful form as some of the other sides who got relegated from Division 1[Odds are Down are going to have a very short championship, given their league form] Although being hammered at home by Roscommon is a fairly ominous sign.

Eamonn might experiment against Clare but the team that I would like to see in the Munster Final with a view to preparing for later is
B Kealy, (don't read too much into kickouts in league final)
O’Beaglaoich, Griffin, Enright, (Marc to come on)
O’Sullivan, Crowley, Lyne,
Moran, Maher,
Darran, Murphy, O’Brien,
O’Donoghue, P Geaney, Cooper, (Alan Fitzgerald & Donaghy & Sheehan to come on)
I like the above but would move Murphy to the half back line to the exclusion of O'Sullivan ( has not played in that role previously to my knowledge) with O'Brien on the 40 and possibly Mikey Geaney @ 12- he would bring a lot of energy to the half forward line and O'Brien's direct style of running could be suited to a more central role. News on Maher from the camp is more positive than that reported in the papers recently and he is expected to feature in a Munster final with maybe an appearance in the semi final!

Judging by Tyrone`s style of play against Derry yesterday, their defence and it`s type is going to prove very difficult for any team to crack. Does Kerry have a plan for this as they are going to come up against it at some stage.

Can we solve the following 1. How to deal with short quick kick out. 2. What is our kick out strategy. 3. Less mouthing at the ref.
I feel that if we get these right (among other obvious ) we are well on the way.

Tyrone started Cathal McShane at half-forward the last day. He's 20 years old. The Dubs threw in Mannion, McCaffrey and Kilkenny as soon as they could as well.
I don't understand the hesitation in Kerry at doing the same. We probably won't see a Championship debutant on the starting 15 v Clare or Limerick which is a pity.

Deal with Cluxton`s kick outs and we`re half way there. Yes Kerrygold PACE is really lacking. One more thing---- Will K.Donaghy get fair play from any ref.

I'd argue if they were good enough they would already be there. While a lot of the young lads have good qualities, the older lads inside in training are still deemed better. Begley is one of the few I have big faith in, a few of the others I have my doubts about right now

I'm afraid on Kealy's kickouts I would totally disagree. The weaknesses in his accuracy, decision making, adding hesitancy is the difference to losing a close game. Our kick outs and strategies are not at a functional level to win an All Ireland. To be fair to him his out field men are not helping with movement. Our half back line in particular. I'm after watching first 20 mins of league final and he's delivered 3 howlers. Demoralizing for a hard-working defence. This has to be cleaned up. Game very even to that point.

Plus Mark O'Connor was injured. It remains to be seen I suppose.
