Reports today that Jason Sherlock has left the Dublin set-up. Looking from afar he seems to have been a very big part of the management and coaching team so this is likely to be a blow to Dublin.

I don’t think Peter will change the selection too much assuming the Sigerson hasn’t caused any problems.
Moran will probably start – a bit of experience will be needed in the centre. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Barry rested and a midfielder with the specific job of staying with Fenton was instead. Jack has done well enough in the previous games but this is a time for experimenting. Gavin O’Brien will probably start as well.
Considering what Gavin said about not making any tactical changes for the attacking mark, their defeat to Monaghan, and their slow start against Galway, I think Kerry could shade it.
A win is not essential. Performance and attitude are more important. The young players are progressing nicely. If they play the full game like they played the second half against Cavan it would be progress regardless of result.
The Tyrones and Donegals will come and go but football fans up and down the country will be tuned in tomorrow evening to see the most recent episode of the greatest rivalry in football.

Too early in the year on a soft pitch to read much into the result though we won't want to be be 1 from 3. Kerry missing Clifford and JOD means less pace to run at our backs. Be interesting to see how yous deal with Fenton, he's the one player on our team I would say you can't dismiss with "we'll just play our own game". And I'd expect yous will have a plan to rattle Comerford assuming he plays, his third game in a week.

Very surprised if that’s the actual line out - David to start midfield with Spillane dropping into defence & Paul Murphy sweeping. Alternatively Spillane drops to the bench with David going to midfield and Tommy Walsh to start on the edge of the square - lots of possibilities!

Diarmuid OConnor should be given a shot at it midfield at some stage as it seems to be his most natural position. The half forward is going to have to start scoring more and hopefully the change in that line will help.

If memory serves me correctly, the last time I saw Brian Ó Beaglaíoch on a pitch in the vicinity of Cormac Costello, I witnessed along with 80,000 other people and watching officials who took no action one of most deliberate and heinous acts of thuggery at inter-county level in many year, a full UFC style choke out on Ó Beaglaíoch from Costello, and I mean extremely vicious near strangulation. I had an excellent view from the Davin Stand of Costello’s thuggery too when he came on against Mayo in 2017. A very talented forward and darling of the hill he may be but his no man in my eyes but a coward and just glad he doesn’t wear the green and gold jersey – they can have him. I don’t condone on field violence but one day Costello will get his long overdue comeuppance and I won’t be a bit sorry to see it. Attachments:

I expect Moran to play a bit deeper and come out to lend a hand in midfield for a while. No point him tracking runners as he doesn't have the pace.
He doesn't have the pace or stamina to play a modern midfield role. And can drift out of games. He can't track someone like Fenton. But, from floating around at full forward and drifting around the place he can bring all his best qualities into play. He is a good fielder, can take a score and a very good passer.
Nobody should be expecting the second coming of Kieran Donaghy. But he could become an option. With Dara Moynihan going deep, along with Diarmuid O'Connor and Sean O Shea hovering around Midfield when we are defending with Stephen O Brien roaming as well. That leaves Geaney and Moran playing in the forwards really. Moran will be a an option to bring lads into play when he receives the ball. Hold up the ball in soccer terms or lay it off to runners

I empathize with your disgust at Costello for what he done to Begley I was equally mad at Eamon for not putting Mark o Shea on instead . I don’t think Costrllo would have done that thuggery on Mark also we were behind and needed a score and mark could have used his brilliant ball handling skill s here to bail us out just like he did with the heroics in 2014 first game v Mayo when he knew it was do or die and retrieved a ball on the end line ( or over ) and set up Kieran o Leary s great equalizer Thuggery is rampant with them boys when is someone going to say enough When you can eye gouge a man now in broad day light in full view of everyone and just get a slap on the wrist for it then you know we’re in trouble .This travesty is much bigger than over expensive cost overruns and concerts in Croke and the three pass limit

Hold up the ball in soccer terms or lay it off to runners Monaghan showed us Dublin’s Achilles heel is the high ball The last time we had K D there we in explicably sent all the high ball to Cooper not the Kerry Cooper the Dublin Cooper crazy stuff Now we have two good fielders up top you know Moran will draw two defenders all day and I’d set him up not on the edge of the square but just a bit away to free up the middle like we did in the first minute of 2014 final

Two wrongs won’t make a right tonight though. Instead I’d like to see real aggression for the ball and in the tackle, and at the very least for us to be harder to beat than we were last year.

Since when is "Jeaic" the Irish for Jack? Was always "Sean" in my time... I suppose if that’s what they call themselves as Gaeilge fair enough. But the coincidence of two of them doing that Is unlikely. Jack is a variant of John and should be Seán (or Eoin) as Gaeilge. I have always thought the double naming a bit silly anyway. If you have John Murphy or Seán Ó Murichú on your birth certificate, that’s what should be on the programme.

Ultimately youd hope and imagine he will end up 8 or 9 but he needs time to adjust to senior level first My point could be made a bit clearer i suppose. Is a young lads development more likely to be speeded up if he is playing in his most natural position. It didnt do Fenton any harm to be put straight into midfield. Are you saying he would be a better midfielder now if he spent 2015 on the wing. Iknow he had turned 22 in 2015 and was a bit older. Jacko and Darragh both had bad days as young lads at midfield but did it do them any harm in the long run as midfield was always their natural position. Thats the point i am making really.

I don’t condone on field violence but one day Costello will get his long overdue comeuppance and I won’t be a bit sorry to see it. The ratio of fouls per minute played, by Costello, is unprecedented in the history of Gaelic Football. If the relevant referees had acted anyway in accordance with the rules, the ratio of red cards to minutes played would be so far off the Richter Scale that not only would Costello get what he deserves, but it would have led to relevant rule changes. In the meantime, he goes on his merry way. And I do hold Jim Gavin responsible - as I do with any other Manager who condones thuggery as a way of life by certain players. If these Managers did not condone the continuous thuggery of these players, they would not bring them on. Mirabile dictu, there is another way - get the player to change his behaviour, or adios amigo. There is not one shred of any kind of evidence that Gavin has ever tried the latter approach - so I do think it is time that he gets called out on this.
