I'll be interested in the team this evening as someone told me this morning that we won a challenge game against Roscommon last weekend and one of main men picked up a slight muscular injury. Hopefully it's not accurate or if so it's only minor. Your source was on the money, Royal!

How the others manage without DC will be interesting. I wonder whats the thinking in not starting Adrian. I hope Killian finds a vein of form now. We know its in him.

Killian has proven that he is far better of the bench. Up to this year, barring the Tyrone semi final he as kicked some sweet points when introduced off both left and right. For some reason his confidence has taken a big hit and it’s Jack’s and the rest of the management team’s job to address this. He should have come on against Mayo in the League Final and the Cork game when the result was a formality in an attempt to restore that confidence. Bringing him on in a pressure situation may not work right now. Hopefully he will get game time v Limerick. Killian’s return to form could well be the difference between Sam and no Sam. He has proved that in one game, against 14 men, 3 years ago. People need to get more current I must be mixing him up with someone else, the Killian I know has blond hair, well he is starting tomorrow, must be starting to show form in training again. I'll be rooting for him big time.

I wish I was wrong, It's supposedly minor and with 4 weeks to a QF you'd hope its enough time to get it sorted.

News of DC's and Kerry's misfortune must not yet have reached the ears of one PP. as the odds of a significant Kerry win are unchanged!

That was kept very quiet. David not on bench either. Wonder what the story is? There was no leak of an injury. Hopefully he s back for next game. He picked up a slight muscular injury in a challenge game against Roscommon. Didn't want to risk him and he'll have 4 weeks to recover. The sensible thing to do and we'll see now how the other boys will do.

Was was thinking the same, it’s the best time of the year to get a knock bar league, I’m glad he not being risked, which would be madness considering the opposition, and no offense to Limerick, when we have players of the capability of Geaney and Brosnan there is no point in risking.
I’m a bit surprised at the exclusion of Adrain, I think he has been instrumental to our new defensive set up, none of the starting six possess this quality so ya, we may be honing a plan B tomorrow, we’ll know tomorrow evening.

The sensible thing to do and we'll see now how the other boys will do. So I hear but why all the secrecy. Jack was quoted as saying Dara Moynihan and Dan Ó Donoghue only injury worries. Same 2 years ago before Cork with PK saying we ve no injuries and Paul Geaney never featured. Anyway hope it's just a small knock. I wish we had more transparency. It was picked up after those updates as far as I am aware. Jack has been upfront from the start so I don't think theirs any secrecy.

Hardly the kind of injury you wouldn't want an opposing back to know about?
And maybe he was nearly picked. That could possibly maybe perhaps explain the secrecy.

It is reasonable of course to suggest that we will get past Limerick without David. However, his absence manifests the nightmare that the vast majority of Kerry supporters have , the difficulty of winning the All-Ireland without him. But of course that is not the full story. There is the charisma factor. So few sportsmen have it.
By charisma I mean the ability to evoke name recognition and admiration, perhaps even adulation, outside the confines of the individual’s particular sport. In my time , some of the sports people who inspired that level of expectation were : Pele, George Best, John McEnroe, Barry John, Mick O’Connell, Dan Carter, Tiger Woods, DJ Carey. There are some others but not too many. Unquestionably, David belongs to this exalted gallery. These athletes had/have the ability to cause a frisson of excitement by the mere mention of their names. Through no fault of anybody, I and others are being deprived of that sense of anticipation tomorrow. Get back soon David . The sport is in desperate need of your footballing genius.
I am pleased that Tony and Killian are starting . I will be surprised if Tony does not light up The Stadium. Killian has become the forgotten man, This is huge chance for him. I sincerely hope he takes it.

Agree Adrian unlucky to lose out but Jack seems to be going for a scoring forward line tomorrow. Adrian a Brill worker but not a prolific scorer. I thought Adrian was poor against Cork - he covered a lot of ground but I felt could have achieved more.

Strange these days to see a 3 man full forward line picked. Our wing forwards are quite small now as well. Not likely to get caught out tomorrow but I wouldn’t like to see that hf line against the top teams. Hopefully David’s injury is minor.

Might have had something to do with ticket sales? DC will always be worth a few thousand onto the gate and tickets won't be selling themselves for this one.

Hopefully David’s injury is minor. personally I am concerned about the 3 man full forward line, it just is not good for the kick ball in🙈. Let’s see how it goes tomorrow , fingers crossed it goes to plan, our 10 point victory.

A few of Foley's home club wonder how he'd fare at CHB - crazy or an opportunity here, maybe if we are out of sight? His athleticism alone is a big plus though maybe stability of tenure is the priority in Championship games.
As an afterthought to O'Hora on DC, the Mayo man looked like a boy - David's hamstrings (i.e. back of thing) by comparison are 2/3 times bigger and presumably stronger, and Padraig is as good as there is.
What I am angling at here is breaking down DC's skill set - Height (1.9m/6' 2"?), Weight (86Kgs/13 st 7Lbs), Age 23.
Trying to isolate physical characteristics so we can trace class and performance - ah for another day!
Up Kerry!

Word has it that his hand was bandaged up as a result of autographitis, he was told to rest it, but being the strong headed lad that he is, he will probably be up at the park today signing away. May be just a rumour🤔

I hope he plays a blinder. It is against a division 3 team tho so I’ll not get too over excited if he does Limerick are division 2, just like Cork, and unlike Cork fully deserve to be in division 2. Played very well in the final and all throughout the league. I often watch the training sessions and they'll make a game out of it. For Kerry a tough qualifier game might actually be a blessing instead of going into the quarter finals untested.

You’re 34 until you’re 35… They were 34 last time you saw them but when you or anyone else sees them next they will be 35. They are essentially 35 (this is so silly 🤣).

They're mostly 25 I'm told. Lots of young fellas in the Limerick team so they are building for the future and Billy Lee surely will have them hyped up for this.
