Funny how this current Dublin team hasn't been decimated by the Draft. I wonder what they use to keep all their talent at home. Kilkenny went and came home in fairness wasbt for him. |

As I have stated here before way easier to earn a decent living in dublin than anywhere else in the country. Hence more people stay here so it is less attractive to move as the vast majority of your friends and family are living close by whereas the opposite is true at home I have more friends in oz than in the kingdom. The dublin ic footballers also obviously get well looked after by both dcb sponsors employers etc. |

James madden, a hugely promising half forward from Dublin went to Brisbane last year. Kilkenny did go and came back and Mccaffery didn’t want it, he blew up the combine when he tried out with the fastest sprint time of any player trying out including Aussies. Dubs players are being targeted too but as already stated it’s probably that bit easier to convince them to stay at home given the economic opportunities in Dublin.
Kerry have the best crop of players aged 18-20 that the GAA has ever seen and that’s why it seems we are being targeted, in reality the Aussies are just following the talent.
It will have a big impact on some teams going forward. I always think of Donegal in 2012, if Michael Murphy had taken up the offers he had to go to the AFL that All Ireland never would have happened, no chance. That’s the kind of impact losing that caliber of player can have. People say it’s only a handful of players but the problem is that the AFL only want the best of the best.

We were blessed with Clifford things would be bleak enough without him ! If DC & SOS happened to be in Oz the current Kerry team would be a second world team in terms of challenging for Sam. Now that the best player to emerge from the 5 in a row minor winning teams had made it down under it is probable that the top 5-6 best young Kerry players to emerge from the next decade will ply their trade in Australia. Hard to see that remaining Kerry team being hugely attractive to follow, more so if the Dubs continue to hover up All-Ireland championships at ease. The professional outlet Australia offers is by far the biggest threat to the GAA and in particular to Kerry. It is only a matter of time before the young emerging male GAA players adapt to the game in Oz in the same way as the ladies players from Ireland seem to be adapting to Ladies Ozy Rules. 16,000 tickets sold for tomorrow's triple header in Croker, Laois v Meath & Dublin v Kildare. Back in the '90s & 00's any of those trilogy of games involving Meath, Kildare & Dublin were drawing 65,000 people to the old Croke Park, the first full house of the new redeveloped Croker brought 82,129 people to the 2002 Leinster Final between Dublin & Kildare. Lets see what the game will be like with Dublin's continued dominance into the next decade and a fading Kerry challenge. Kerry won't challenge without its best young players playing at home. Plenty of monetary compensation for the Dublin GAA players that make it |

Good game of football! Unfortunately like Ennis a few years ago, well beaten in midfield!
All the backs played well, with Fiacra Clifford , Donal O Sullivan and Paul Walsh to a lesser extent the pick of the forwards!
They could easily have won the game, missed some easy chances, but overall Galway were bigger and more physical team!

Our scoring return has been very poor for the past two matches. Does anybody know if we have been close to fielding our strongest team for this competition? Of course Diarmuid O’Connor is now with the seniors. Poor Jack must be feeling the pressure a little.

The senior/u20 rule is daft. Just manage the players properly. DC & DOC are probably bursting their chops inside training with the seniors regardless.

Joe O'Connor and Barry Mahony midfield. That was the selection anyway. What players have we to come back for championship? Brian Friel, Darragh Rahilly, Ciaran Kennedy, is that pretty much it? As well as Paul O'Shea and Michael Potts who were missing last night. |

Rahilly Darcy O’Sullivan Sean O'Leary is definitely not a full back. Too many of last year's minors on that team the majority of the team will be made up of the 2017 minors. |

3. Dylan Casey
4. Fergal Barry

6. Eddie Horan
7. Thomas Devane
8.Seán O’Connell
9. Frank Sauerland
10. Donagh McMahon
11.Michael Kelliher

The keeper is easily the most important position in todays game.
And nothing much to do with shot stopping but puttiing the ball into green and gold hands from circa 20 kickouts. This aspect cost Kerry the game v Kildare last year and nearly lost the previous game last year to Cork.
I think JOC should have played Uosis last year.
The 2019 minor (kelliher?) is a viable option too but Uosis would by my first choice.
