Hard day on Sunday for the team and the fans. Feels like a final left behind. I'm sure management will take a lot of learnings from it in terms of pace, kick out press and forward play. Was listening to the Football Pod live show and other pieces during the week of the final and the thing that was always referenced by Dublin players was the defeats which informed the 6 in a row team. Games like 2009 vs Kerry and 2014 vs Donegal. Hopefully this will be our touchstone for the coming years in terms of driving this team forward.
Facing into 2024 it would be interesting to see who we can actually add to this group and who we will lose. 3 players over 30 but I still feel they all have a bit to offer. Okunbar and Joe O'Connor coming back will add to the midfield and we do need more options there. I do think we are lacking a bit at half forward and would be excited about a hybrid half forward/midfield type like Ruairi Murphy pushing on as the lad is only 20.

Can people suggest players to look out for in the Club Championship that are ones to watch for next season? I'm exiled from Kerry so not familiar with players outside the usual. Joe O'Connor, Stefan Okunbar, Ruarie Murphy, Donal Sullivan are 4 players I'm excited about. I remember Paul O'Shea was hyped for a bit. I liked what I saw of Dara Roche. I think we could do with a half back, a midfielder, a half forward and an inside forward. Someone with searing pace to run at teams in the final 1/4 would be lovely. I'm very proud of this Kerry team and I'm certain of great days ahead. But having only a half fit Killian Spillane to come off the bench and make a difference isn't enough at this level. Rob Monahan, Cillian Burke, William Shine etc

I think there has been a dearth of talent from the underage setup now for the last few years. Apart from the golden generation of minor teams which are all now 24 / 25 / 26 we haven't seen anyone else make the jump. Our U20's haven't been setting the world alight for a long time and it seems like our production line if not completely stalled has certainly introduced a work to rule.
Players that people had great hopes for have fallen by the wayside. Paul O'Shea, Gavin O'Brien etc. People are pointing to Joe O'Connor and Stefan to come back. To be honest I am not sure how good either are at inter county level. Stefan was a good athletic player underage. We will have to wait and see what hes like as a senior. Joe O'Connor too.
I don't think Dara Roche is up to it at this level. It was telling even after his injury he wasn't called back to the panel and left play away with glenflesk. Donal Down has caught people imagination after the game against Monagahn. Did he see any championship action? He must be hitting 23/24 now as well.

Looking at the bench and training or extended panel from Sunday, Goalkeeper Shane Murphy, Coffee and Devin Burns, I really rate Burns and a probable number two, however, being realistic, Shane Ryan is well well in position. McGrath Cup would give Devon a game or two to blood, but we are in fine steed between the posts.
Defensive wise, we have the current six from Sunday, I think Paul has had his day and he owes Kerry nothing, he had a good year this year with club, division and county. In the wings you have corner men like Chris and Dan O’Donoghue, Wing men like Brión O’Beagleoich and Mike Breen, Breen too can play centre back which would allow Morley to go to 3 if anything happened to Foley. You also have the option of Dylan Casey at 3 as well as other defensive options in Gammell and Jack O’Shea, another look at Coffey of around may warrant inclusion.
In the centre field area, one would hope Joe O’Connor may return to full fitness without any ill effects, as much of a fan as I am of Barry Dan, I think he is lacking pace, Ron Monahan is one player I will be looking at in the county championship as he and Joe may be forming a formidable partnership with St. Brendan’s. Sean O’Brien from Beaufort and Mi Kerry as well as Adrain Spillane and Ruairi Murphy are above average, Stefen Okunbor is a rough diamond, I don’t think he has massive ball ability, however neither did Dublin’s DMmcC, if we can use his athletic ability.
Alternatively, we may not have to go with two big big men, so maybe alternative options could be looked at here.
Up top, Geaney and O’Brien may depart, if so head held high with no regrets, they owe us nothing, sitting in the wings last weekend for the half forward line were; Burns, A Spillane, Murphy and Buckley, Inside were Donal Down, Killian and Dylan Geaney, out through injury were Brosnan and Roche.
Somewhere, I just read that we need hardy NK defenders, unfortunately, they are not there, looking at the U20 set up, Killian Burke impressed me, but defender wise I thought Andrew Moynihan from Rathmore was very composed, I will be keeping an eye on him for our defence, Keith Evans from Keel was also a great work horse.
So, yes there is an abundance of talent available, players don’t make the step up immediately, in a perverse way, players actually go back a bit the first year in as they adjust to the riggers and demand on the body, it is actually in year two that most will make the breakthrough, therefore, it maybe next year Donal Down and Roche may make a better impact.

I don't mind us not winning AIs underage, but we should be producing one or two talents per year. They don't have to be world beaters but someone to come on and make a difference in last 10 minutes. Sometimes I think if you took away David Clifford other counties like Tyrone or Mayo have better forward lines and options from the bench.

Would Stefan Okunbor have been useful to nullify Jack McCaffrey the last day? You don't need great skill for that. Jack Mac was very influential and a thorn in our side when he came on with his direct running. He won a free and created another score. Possibly more I can't remember.

Don't think so, my jury is very mush out on Okunbor, we haven't seen enough of of him in a county or club jersey, He would need an extended run to really ascertain and quantify.
I think there is an aura about the Na Gaeil man, an expectation as a returning professional that he is the answer to any central axis weakness, but really these expectations are without foundation and heaping unwarranted pressure on the lad.
Lets see how he gets on with Na Gaeil, if he is back playing and gauge from there... he may very well be a very viable option but we'll have to give him time to adjust,

We need to find an enforcer or get someone to do that job .
Dublin have one and use it to great effect . It was so obvious on Sunday that Stevie Wonder would have been able to pick him out with the volume turned down on the television .

Players we should be looking at for 2024:
Dylan Casey- Another good insider defender who has huge potential. Need to get a good run of games into him as we need backup in the full back line.
Sean O'Brien- Nice athletic middle third player that we are crying out for who can travel across the ground and has good footballing ability.
Ruairi Murphy- Half forward/midfield player who can contribute on scoreboard and in middle third.
Daragh Lyne- ball winning midfielder who might be given a look at during McGrath cup/league. People with a closer eye on club scene might advise on if he has the ability.
Armin Heinrich- Seems like a great athlete and could fill a spot in the half back line.
Rob Monaghan- Looked really good at times for the under 20s this year. Seriously mobile and very good in front of the posts.
Cillian Burke- Hyped a lot with the under 20s. looked good in patches and seems to have a lot of ability.
Donal O'Sullivan- another speedy inside forward with great direct approach.
Will see about others like Joe Lenihan, Dylan Geaney, William Shine, Stefan Okunbar etc. Anyone else who might crack the panel?

Was on the brink of starting a thread like this just go my mind off the bloody game Sunday.
Aside from those listed, what about Luke Crowley?
We seem to have done a very poor job in the last 5/6 years in bringing more of the crowd who won all those Minor titles.
I think even those who are named who have seen game time either have questions about them or just not proven quite at the level.
We need a mix of battlers and game changers to be unearthed, when you look at it, it’s been pretty much the same team now since 2019 save for DMs retirement.

Not sure will.all fellas being listed get a run. Kerry do need to bring in 1 or 2 players but no more than that in my opinion. Joe O'Connor to get more game time in the league along with likes of Ruairi Murphy & Rob Monaghan maybe and perhaps Okunbor. Spillane & Brosnan to get starting games also. Apart from that I wouldn't be changing much maybe a 2nd keeper instead of Shane Murphy but this seems unlikely. Rest the 2 Cliffords and the players that are representing Kerry in the club championships, apart from that I'd have every able body back playing league football from round 1.

Geaney, O'Brien and Murphy are on the way out. Maybe one or two years left. Question marks over a few other players. We need more than 1 or 2. Young talent is always exciting anyway. We could do with a bit of pace also. We don't have much beyond White and Clifford.

I agree we need more than one or two, just a freshening, we are not a million miles off, just inches.. so we don;t need a radical overhaul, just tinkering. I won't throw the boot in, but certain panelist are happy just being panelists, that mentality needs to be eradicated, we need 23 or 24 pushing for the start....

Next year I think we need to find a midfielder and 2 wing forwards. Joe O’Connor I think is our best bet at midfield. Wing forwards I’m thinking Cillian Burke and Ronan Buckley but Ruairi Murphy and Rob Monahan are also possibilities. They’re 4 good options, pick the best 2 and we’ve 2 starting and 2 coming on from them, Stephen O’Brien and Dara Moynihan. We also need to do something with the inside forward line, I would give Donal O’Sullivan the full league starting but I think next year Killian Spillane needs to be a starter in the championship. Some names mentioned are well off the standard in my opinion.

He was a good enough underage player yes. But he was a sub at minor level and at U20 everyone talks about the Munster final in 2018 but no one seems to talk about the next game in the All-Ireland semi finals. I have questioned what was the basis for him being brought into the panel considering he had played very little with Na Gaeil in the past few years. On another note. Why was Barry Dan brought into the panel if he wasn't going to be used? He played most if not all the league games but got very little game time cone championship.

The hype is obviously because he signed for an AFL team. He's been unlucky with injuries so has actually played very little football since he came back. I think he could be useful to just nullify an opponent.

It always puzzles me that a player commands so much attention on the back of so little. One decent U20 campaign taking in 3 or 4 games in 2018, that's about it as far as I can see. What with going to Oz and with injuries, has Stefan actually played any football since then?

He must have some decent football skills if he played minor and U20 for us. If he has the ability to curtail Jack MCaffrey's influence for 20 minutes, that could be the winning of an AI.

Have watched numerous games this last few years
Players who could be worth a look few wild cards but that’s what it’s about
Rob Monahan(Ardfert)-Powerhouse of a youngster has all the attributes required can play numerous positions has not reached his physical potential yet either
Cillian Burke(Milltown)-Solid working midfielder well Able to carry the ball has the experience of training this year .
Will Shine(Legion)-could do with a year of marking better defenders to improve his game as he is very reliant on one foot
Michael Odonnell(Stacks)-Has a huge physical presence we’ll able to carry the ball and win the ball in the air , can kick a score too will be worth a look in championship
Mark O Shea(Crokes)-impressives me anytime I see him has freakish athleticism aswell as very good ball skill could be worth a look around the middle
Brian Friel(Rathmore)-immense wing back for Rathmore this year has a dogged attitude and plays on the edge .
Shane Cronin(Spa)-was part of the training panel this year but never got a run out I was impressed with him the few times I’ve seen him is a very direct runner with the ball is very athletic too
Evan Cronin(Spa)-is very similar to Darragh Roche but I think has more to offer as he can play @11 or @14 has experience of playing with a lot of the guys on the Kerry panel too from east Kerry teams etc
Armin Heinrich(Stacks)-is a very capable centre half back as a plus 1 that can carry the ball out of the backs set up scores etc well worth a look

Will Shine(Legion)-could do with a year of marking better defenders to improve his game as he is very reliant on one foot Michael Odonnell(Stacks)-Has a huge physical presence we’ll able to carry the ball and win the ball in the air , can kick a score too will be worth a look in championship Mark O Shea(Crokes)-impressives me anytime I see him has freakish athleticism aswell as very good ball skill could be worth a look around the middle Brian Friel(Rathmore)-immense wing back for Rathmore this year has a dogged attitude and plays on the edge . Shane Cronin(Spa)-was part of the training panel this year but never got a run out I was impressed with him the few times I’ve seen him is a very direct runner with the ball is very athletic too Evan Cronin(Spa)-is very similar to Darragh Roche but I think has more to offer as he can play @11 or @14 has experience of playing with a lot of the guys on the Kerry panel too from east Kerry teams etc Armin Heinrich(Stacks)-is a very capable centre half back as a plus 1 that can carry the ball out of the backs set up scores etc well worth a look always thought Evan Cronin would make the step.. I likened him to mayo’s Ryan o Donoghue… what’s David shaw story? I fear only rob monahan is the only one capable of stepping up along with ruairi Murphy maybe
