Looking objectively at whats left in the super 8's and what we think will be the pairings. Our first game is massive. We haven't really been tested yet and based on the cork match we still don't know how we cope when teams run at us. If we haven't sort this issue out we are the ideal team for Comer et al to play against.
Our forward while looking fantastic so far havent come up against the blanket or massed defence yet either so the jury is still out there. Galway have a very solid midfield pairing too so we will have to see how our two boys fare there as well.
If we lose our first game in Croke park and have to head to Monaghan the following week its going to be very difficult as Monaghan have a better defensive setup than Galway when on the ball.
We really need to target the Galway game and hope the young lads perform against that type of defense.
I presume it will be Jason Foley matched to comer because of his size and speed. Who would mark Shane Walsh?

Beat the same opposition at the same stage in the same venue at a canter last year. I'm more convinced about our improvements in the meantime than Galway's.
Their keeper is not going to get much sleep looking at how we took the opposition's kickouts apart in the last two games.
I think this will be a win after which people will be saying Kerry still haven't been tested because we will have made Galway look like no marks.

Galway beat us by 3 or 4 points in the league in March.
4 months later one would have to say that Kerry have improved significantly while Galway are probably at the same level, maybe slightly better than they were.

Does this now mean that the away game will also be on the Sunday to ensure we have 7 days between the two games. Or will they give Dublin 8 days and let them play on Sunday 22nd. Probably the latter.

Id nearly start donaghy ad a late change move donoghue to 11 and o shea to 10 would be a good curve ball they will probably start sweeney kyne and o ceallaigh sweeney wouldnt have the height for any of the full forwards

How good are this Galway side? Jury is out for me I think their particular style suits winter football. It’s difficult to assess. League & championship are so different and in that regard I would think we have to fancy our chances. We played very poorly against them in Tralee and never looked like winning - we are a different animal now though and the wide open spaces of Croke Park are harder to defend than in Tralee. Mayo were in decline when Galway beat them but in all honesty Roscommon kicked away their chance - if we were playing Roscommon next think there would be no debate as to the winner. Kerry for me.

Completely agree, Walsh and Comber are obviously very dangerous but i do see Kerry winning this by 5/6

They will cause us more trouble than Cork or Clare (obviously!) and did last year in patches. Our forwards won't have as much space either. It should be a good test but one we should ultimately pass with a bit to spare.

Galway were a shambles last year. Up for it v Mayo, didnt show up in Connacht final and caved in without a fight v Kerry with a gutless performance.
A lot has changed since the Tyrone lad got involved and the few u21s from 2017 joined the panel.
What have we to go on now to judge form. Not much.
If Dublin is the measure you would have to say Kerry didnt fare as well v Dublin as Galway did.
I see no reason for overconfidence. I see no reason for anxiety either because maybe Kerry are miles better than they were in the spring. These games will tell us if they are.

Why does it have to clash with world cup final? Why not start at 2?

Why does it have to clash with world cup final? Why not start at 2? I think there will be another Super 8 game at 2, the pairing to be confirms after this weekend's round of games. A must win game for both teams. It would be a huge statement for Galway to beat Kerry again this year. No room for complacency.

Fixing the Dublin game for Saturday and Kerry & Galway for Sunday is once again bending the knee to Dublin. They have a huge following through the summer but for many of them if there a clash soccer comes first.

Mick, The Galway seniors have added the following players from the Galway U-21 team of 2017: Seán Andy Ó Ceallaigh, Peter Cooke, Sean Kelly and a few probably outside a panel of 26. Only the fullback (Ó Ceallaigh) would be considered a starter. Peter Cooke probably with the injury to Ciarán Duggan. My point is the Galway squad is the same as the 2017 squad / panel. What has changed is the system and as a poster mentioned previously that is more suited to winter football. On the match ups. Brannigan is an important man to curtail as a link man. I would put white on him. Brian Ó Beaglaoich on Walsh. I am not impressed with Paul Murphy’s defensive qualities as a man marker. He is light,pushed of the ball easily and fails to do the basics.

Ian Burke is another we need to watch. He scored 4 from play against us last August. Could be a job for Shanahan.

Be like asking Peter Crowley mark Shane Walsh he just wouldnt have the pace

What percentage of matches has a season holder to attend as to entitle said holder to Final ticket? Its 60% alright according to the FAQ. If Kerry make the final, and barring a draw in the semi final, they will have played 13 games at that stage. You need to have attended 8 games to qualify.
