Yeah I heard that as well he stopped playing for the seniors altogether. He was unhappy with the Laois contingent being brought in to Parnells. Believed they were keeping lifelong parnell lads out of the team. There is something contrary about that attitude.

Cluxton has played outfield but not at senior level for parnells, not good enough apparently. John o Leary played midfield for o dwyers so its common enough. When I played soccer some of the lads who played the Gaelic code often were goalkeepers. The story I heard was that he only plays junior football (outfield) for the club, doesn't play in goals for them full stop. Again, not sure if this is correct. Had a quick look for match reports but couldn't find any, I see a couple of videos of the Parnells senior team playing on YouTube with some other fella in goals. Difficult to see how an intercounty player would be allowed to regrade to club junior football?

How many of the League winning panel will realistically be on the match squad for Sunday I wonder? I'm told the admission price of E5.00 for children to some parts of the ground has made this fixture more popular one than it might otherwise be. Roscommon should bring some support and Mayo invariably bring a crowd. We may well be in a minority come Sunday. Thats a few strange things to say Glengael. Do you think its the first time that there is an admission price of €5 for children? Its always been this way, up to the final. There is a huge interest in Roscommon I was told yesterday, they might even outnumber Mayo. And anybody from Kerry who usually goes to Quarter Finals (with the exception of Dublin 09) knows that the Kerry crowd will always be small. The fact its not on a Bank Holiday weekend this year might mean a few more could travel that would otherwise be busy too working in pubs, restaurants and hotels.

I thought killian would have worked his way back in. Tough on Ronan shanahan not to make the panel.
Happy to see Buckley and Barry in there,

After Anthony Mahers almost man of match performance in the Munster final where he was the outstanding midfielder,its hard to understand this midfield pairing.I know there's method and planning being done for future games and its no longer a 15 man game but firstly games have to be won and I would imagine the player hitting form should start but I suppose Eamonn has a plan.

Just goes to show the strength in depth when Ronan Shanahan who started the league final and Gavin Crowley who played 55 minutes of that game can't make the 26 - that's some panel we have in place.
I wonder is Kevin Mcs injury seriously? Nice to see Johnny back, he was seriously missed in the big game last year. Steven O Brien obviously is going to have to make do with the super sub tag this year.
Who will mark Shane Walsh, was it Crowley who marked him in 2014?

Think Barry's mobility is needed for this one.

You can add Brendan Kealy to that list, he was absolutely superb in the league final until the last few minutes. It will be a tough weekend for Brendan looking in. I'll be surprised if Galway get anywhere near them on Sunday. Kerry in the plus six to eight point region I'd say. Looking forward to getting back to Croker on Sunday.

The mobility of Moran, Buckley and Walsh should make the first half very interesting.

Barry or maher feels like a toss of a coin to be honest and could vary based on the opposition. Maher will see some game time for sure.

Lads there's always a logic to this- Flynn, conroy and comer (when he comes out) would all be too mobile for maher- hence the decision to start the more mobile jack Barry

Play what's in front of you. Pick the team best suited to take care of Galway. Interesting on the midfield - www.sportsjoe.ie/amp/gaa/kerry-cork-gaa-analysis-128891

Barry has never struck me as being S. Gonzalez, points being I don't think the selection is based on a speed test solely.Agreed on earlier post re:Shanahan, he's a really sticky corner back, cleaned Andrews in league final, not even in the squad??? Stevie is a super sub, his best role.

Excellent starting team by Kerry - Galway want to run our midfield, well we've got the mobility now to more than match. What a team bench we have too, which will ensure we finish as strong as we start with absolutely no diminishing in quality.

Sheehan still not good enough for the 26? Bryan Sheehan misses out due to injury. John O'Leary, our Kerry PRO, mentions this in the Kerry team announcement video on this website and Éamonn referenced this fact in his press conference during the week.

Stevie is a super sub, his best role. Speed and mobility aren't necessarily the same thing- Barry can cover more ground at a higher pace than maher- he won't, however, beat jack mccaffrey in a race.

I aim to be a lot of things on this forum Buck02 but strange isn't one of them! So I suppose I have reached a some kind of milestone and feel suitably honoured. Yes I am aware of the admission price policies for matches, I was merely writing what I had heard from others during the week, just as you did are in your comment about the level of interest in Roscommon. And as I have been to every quarter final (and qualifier) that Kerry have played since such things were invented, I am well aware of the attendance patterns of Kerry supporters and reasons for this. I personally know many regular attenders who had taken it that this match would be on the Bank Holiday weekend ( as was the case in many previous years) and will be missing it, as they are away on holidays abroad. Such is life.

I don't think there is enough scores from play in that half forward line to go all the way and win the all ireland but with 6 subs allowed, I can see Jack Savage, Sean o Shea, Darren and Kevin McCarthy being deployed there from time to time and there is a lot of scoring power in those.
It's Kerrys best squad in some time and no shortage of guys with stomach for trench war fare.

Jack Barry starting is the right choice. Let's face it, at this stage Kerry are already looking down the road. Barry had a great league final and is the first man I've seen match Fenton in any Kerry Dublin game thus far.
It is the right thing to get him game time and experience in Croker. It was at this stage in 2014 against Galway in the quarters, I think Moran came on for the injured Bryan Sheehan and began his journey to an All Star. Hopefully Barry can do the same this year, starting on Sunday.

This will be a real test for Kerry - first fifteen minutes will be frenetic. Fitz picking horses for courses - need to negate Galway running game and strength in middle third. Buckley a good pick in that regard. Kerry bench to make the difference in a tight affair.

It's Kerrys best squad in some time and no shortage of guys with stomach for trench war fare. I agree with you on the above but all have been hindered by different circumstances: McCarthy picked up a knock and is out for a bit Savage is only back taking contact in the last week after his appendix operation Prob too early for O Shea as he has no league experience Darren is being kept back as a line breaker for late in the game- similar to what we do with Stephen O Brien. I do agree with you point though- I'd imagine Buckley's role will be to negate Galway's 3 man midfield when Comer comes out- also Bradshaw is no slouch in the air or on the ground so I'd imagine he is there for the height and Mike & Donnacha are their for the dirty ball

In fairness, the half forward line scored 1-10 from play against Tyrone in the league (Tyrones half backs included Peter Harte who was marking Geaney) and Geaney and Donnchadh got 0-4 from play against Dublin in the league final. I also remember Johnny kicking 3 first half points against Tyrone in the semi final in 2015. I don't think they are just 'work horses', they often contribute to the score board, sometimes on days we least expect it.
