Delighted to see all the young fellas getting games. We won't really know until the League. It's hard to judge on yesterday cause Cork were so bad. If Brendan O'Sullivan stays injury free he will make a big difference in the midfield area for the Championship. Jason Foley , O'Beaglaoich, Tom O'Sullivan and Andrew Barry will surely play in the League. Jack Barry did well yesterday. I'm sure he will get another look. A little surprised he didn't give Nathan Breen (Beaufort) a look. I thought he played well last year. Also Mark Reen (Rathmore) in the forwards. He played well last year for Rathmore. It's early in the year yet so im sure players will get a look in the League. He's doing the right thing now anyway. He's looking at youth now which he needs to do.

its a concern that all the young lads coming through seem to be backs, we need new blood in the forwards and surely theres a couple of them there after 3 all irelands?

One of our brightest prospects comes back to us as a crock. Let us hope that the same fate is not awaiting Mark O'Connor. Should they not be offering scholarships to here , there and everywhere to the likes of David Clifford in order to put an end to this farrago.

Tommy was unfortunate in that he got a vary bad hamstring injury and its debateable as to whether he has fully recovered from it. The injury could just as easily have happened playing GAA; Ger Cafferkey from Mayo and Brian Hurley form Cork suffered similar injuries last year and who knows if they will be able to return to inter-county football again. It also happened to Joe Canning but I believe his injury is not as bad.

It is quite promising to see Kerry click so well early on in the year with many of the team still not available. The U21s were flying in the first game and though the team was less experimental for the Cork game there was still plenty of new blood. It has been pointed out before that all this underage success, junior success, schools success and club success (especially at intermediate and junior level, but also provincially at senior level) should and will pay off eventually. 3 minor titles in a row after so long with no minor or U21 success at all is a real sign things are changing.
The minors have been slowly moved up to U21s and I believe that they were unlucky not to overcome Cork last year. With an extra game under their belts now I think they should overcome Cork this year. Given how well those Cork teams have done on the national stage there is no reason why the Kerry U21s shouldn't go far. Winning an U21 title would be nice, but not a certainty. This crop of young players are used to winning. They are winning games at minor level, at schools level and so on and they are eager to keep winning. Eamon has been quoted as saying he would like more U21s and minors to make it into the team and I believe that is the way to go indeed. It's very hard on the junior players though as I think some of those could have been given a go.
I was impressed with Brendan O'Sullivan last year and he seems to be building on from last year. O Beaglaoich and Morley also got some chances last year and seem eager to push for senior starting spots. Jack Savage, Michael Burns, Jack Barry, Conor Geaney, David Clifford and others all seem to be eager to make the championship team as well. Jack Foley didn't produce a great performance in the McGrath game, but I'm basing this on the videos I've seen of the game and reports from others that were there. I believe he can make it, but like Conor Keane needs to hurry as there are plenty of youngsters to put in the work if they don't. It is hard on young players, but I think there are currently 3, if not 4, full teams to be assembled and competition to become a senior county footballer is fierce. That's how it should be. Some will make the cut, some won't, but luckily there are lots of players currently that believe they can make it.
There are a few players that have been on the Kerry team a few years now, but haven't impressed as much as they should, and the two McGrath games show that they need to step it up a notch this year as the next crop is waiting to take their place. I hope this does result in every player being motivated even more and we see Sam coming back to Kerry soon.
January is not the time to talk about Sam, but the future looks bright for Kerry. I hope to be able to make it to Limerick on Sunday and see how far we have come already. Limerick haven't exactly been blessed the last few years with great teams and if the same Kerry team is named as lined out last Sunday I think a massacre is inevitable. I expect Eamon to go a bit more experimental and use a few more youngsters. After all, he said himself more than once that he expects a lot from kerry's young players. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a very young team on Sunday with the big guns on the bench to save the game if need be. Beating Limerick in January, and they should, isn't a good indication of where we are, but it is promising to go into the league on a winning streak.

Don't think Clifford will be in the frame any time soon, Seoirse. Only just turned 17 afaik. Minor again this year, I think.

Sorry didn't mean he was going to nail down a starting on the senior team this year, but he is definitely one that will make it if he keeps developing as now. There is no guarantee he will be the next Kerry star, but he certainly is one of the bright prospects to become just that. Any update on Gavin White of Crokes?

Agree with the comments regarding Conor Keane has not played well in a long time and not deserving of a place in their going on current form. Good win today but worrying again that our half forward line are defence minded and are not scoring. Promising performance regarding savage but needs to develop physically to be a mainstay in championship squad. Worried that the Kerry squad isn't picked on form anymore and is picked on past reputations. Legion have 4 on today's squad and would have 5 if podge didn't go to America. They were beaten by spa in east Kerry the players on the Kerry squad made no impact same with co championship knocked out early. So wat form have the players shown to deserve game time with Kerry? Going by your thinking I think you can create this argument for a lot of players in the Kerry panel..how many games does Anthony Maher play for Duagh as an example.More emphasis should be put on inter county players playing club footballand picking them on their own form.Going back to your original argument Brian Kelly is an All Ireland winning goalie,James O D a 2 time all star and POTY while Jonathan is consistently in the first 21.Conor Keane may be going through a dip but he has huge potential.

It should be a very exciting year for kerry and Fitzmaurice...just gonna take a look at possible panel..whatever about the headaches Fitzmaurice is going to have picking a team, i think in my opinion picking a panel of 30 will be just as hard..I think its make or break for Fitz this year..For me he has to get a few things right this year 1) find position for Paul Murphy 2) inject some pace into team like Dublin 3) Pick players on form 4) Pick one Goal Keeper 5) Win All Ireland

We have an army coming through but when will that first batch will arrive is anyones guess, funnily enough but you'd be more confident after that due to the fruits of the great development work. Still it never works out like that, good under age doesn't always mean good seniors, may be average or brilliant, hence the risk this year. Numbers game after that as we have so many that there should be enough greats from the gush of talent. And which brings us to the Oz factor, they will try to take our best and that is a worry, Mark O'Connor could be the difference with Sam 38 in '17 for us as he would be one of the 5, terrible!

Being a successful minor is one thing. A different ingredient is required to prosper at county level. Grit, toughness, a willingness to put football before career and family in some cases ..etc etc ..no guarantees that enough of Kerry's minors of recent years will be up for that.
