Thoughts on changes for the weekend anyone?
Would be good to see a bit more attacking intent in the forward line and get some more natural inside forwards into the team to assist Geaney up front. Having not seen the last match though I don't know much about what went well bar what has been written!

Dara Moynihan played for IT Tralee yesterday so may not play and Gavin Crowley got injured in the same game.

Cavan will be a different challenge than Tyrone and hopefully that means a more open game. That said though we have been talking for years how defence is the weakness in Kerry teams so if Keane can sort that out and do these quick counters Dublin style than so be it.In a way Kerry played very much like Dublin against Tyrone, being patient, being relentless, being tenacious and being very good in defence. Against Cavan they should have more chances of scoring though while Cavan themselves also have some very nifty forwards. Given the injury to Gavin Crowley, a few lads in action with their colleges, and club involvement I would think we see a few changes. It is great to see how each member of the panel is fighting for a spot. I don't think anyone can be sure of a starting spot.
Personally I would like to see Moran and Spillane in the middle to see how they work together under Keane, but Moran probably hasn't had much training done with the team yet. Does that mean Barry and Spillane for the Cavan game as well? Will we see Tommy Walsh in full forward, with Jamesy and Paul Geaney on either side of him? The advanced mark might destroy Cavan with Geaney and Walsh excellent fielders and the accuracy of James. Conditions in Killarney and the way Tyrone were set up didn't allow for a lot of kicking, but whenever Kerry were countering a kick seemed to be the preferred option rather than hanpassing it up the field. With better conditions expected in Cavan we might see more of that and more marks could be the result. Looking forward to see the game. A win and we have 4 points heading into the Dublin game at home. Potentially turning over Dublin and having one eye on a possible final already. Fine margins, fine margins and I'm sure they won't get ahead of themselves.
On a sidenote: I was planning to travel to the game with O'Shea's, but the girlfriend had to rush to Waterford as her father is in hospital so I'm stuck in Ballingarry unable to make it to Newcastle West in time to meet the coach. Anyone from West Limerick here perhaps able to drop me into Newcastle West or Adare for a fee?

Only change to the starting 15 from the Tyrone game is Killian Spillane in for Dara Moynihan.
Mark Griffin, David Moran, Jason Foley and Shane Enright replace James O'Donoghue, Gavin Growley, Tom Leo O'Sullivan, Robert Wharton in the squad 26.

Experienced bench, no reason why they should not win this.
It is a pity that James and Crowley are unavailable again for the league

I thought he was to start last weekend only for a bereavement? That’s a good team and a decent bench you’d have to be hopeful although Cavan are a good side

Ah grand once he is not injured, really needs to get a bit of football in his legs during the league if he wants to get back in for the summer.

Gotta feel for Jameso but also gotta start to question his training technique or lack of adequate injury prevention work whether he is not conditioned enough ,not flexible enough or Just rushes into hard training too fast Im not sure . But he get s injured at the start of every training period the exact time that the body is the most vulnerable .His explosive movements from standing start may be taking its toll on the body looks like he need s specialized prep going forward ahead of each season . Im guessing that he is trying to get fit too fast or else just an extremely unlucky player . Would love to see Jameso back playing but the extreme physicality of the Corner backs now is not making it any easier.

Listening to it mostly on Northern Sound radio online due to poor quality of the Radio Kerry commentary line today!
Sounds like we're using similar tactics to what we saw in Killarney last Sunday, with 2 possible formations when we don't have the ball.
14 men behind the ball, or 15 men behind the ball.
Cavan seem to be well on top so far.

Hard earned win! 0-11 by Seanie O'Shea I think. Some vital scores by S O'Brien, P Geaney and Mark Griffin in the 2nd half as well.

We certainly couldn't ask for anymore from our boys after 2 games.
4 points in the bag
Well done alround.
The sideline solved the conundrum too.
Makes for an interesting game next week.

Cavan seem to be well on top so far. Tim & Ambrose need to brush up on the new rules ! You can kick the ball back from a sideline if inside the 20 meter line when you are in your opponents half A black card now means 10 mins in the sin bin, no replacements! Great to get the win, 4/4 will raise the momentum for Sat night.

Yeah, sounded like Tommy Walsh won an offensive mark at one stage in the second half and they were wondering why he was taking the free! Great to get the win as you say, takes a bit of pressure off. Not too worried about the performance at this stage.

Ambrose is very poor at the best of times In fairness though the players don't really help Ambrose ... If the 6 backs stayed in defence, the midfielder's stayed in midfield and the 6 forwards stayed up front the game would be easier to follow.

18 points from O'Shea out of 27 so far. Not wanting to be negative about another win but this is over-reliance on one man, surely. Only 2 points from the FF line today - worrying.
