Final game of the league and barring a loss we will contest the final the following week - PK & Co will welcome the Crokes contingent to the fold and it looks like a full panel will be available to try & secure our final spot - it will be a much anticipated team/ squad that will be revealed on next Friday. It’s been a good campaign for the new management and one that offers much encouragement for the summer months.

Kerry scored something like 1.12 from Shane Ryans restarts v Dublin.
I hope he is back in goals and David Moran is in midfield for the final two league games

Kerry are in a very good place right now despite some of the drivel on here today 😂

Brian Kelly's kickouts are well below what we need. I think it is very close between Ryan and Murphy. I think I slightly prefer Ryan but is very close. David Moran is injured and will miss the rest of the league. Will the Crokes players be considered for selection?

Am I the only one concerned that we have scored just 1 goal out of 6 league games yet we've conceded 4 (2 to Dublin and 1 each to Mayo and Galway). There's a lot of dependecy of Seán O'Shea's frees in general. Now in all honesty I'm pretty happy with where we are for the time of year more or less in a league final and everything but there doesn't seem to be that clinical edge in front of goal, against Mayo last night we spurned numerous chances with the wind between wides and kicking into the keeper. I also realise that Geaney,Clifford & O'Donoghue have yet to come back in yet but I'd like to see us be more of a threat from play going forward and see more goals going in. Hopefully all this will improve against the Rossies and we'll have a league final place cemented.

Think we will beat Roscommon but they won’t be no push over. Would imagine Shane Ryan will be back in goals. Hope jack Sherwood is back too. Wonder will David Clifford start? If not will surely be giving 20-30 mins. James O might start. Be interesting to see if the Crokes players will be around. My guess is he may go with what he has had all along in the league for the remaining two games..hopefully two games!!!

Bar a heavy loss against Roscommon (and both Mayo and Galway winning next weekend) our spot in Croker in two weeks time is assured. Important we get the performance back on track though.

This game will take a bit of watching now with Roscommon needing the points to try and avoid relegation. It will keep the players honest going into the final round. Neither of Galway v Tyrone and Mayo v Monaghan are given results either way. Kerry will be looking to close the door after them on Sunday here.

I think there are others you need to look at.

Sean o shea has scored 50% (45) points so far this league 2nd top scorer is SoB with 1-6 them walsh with 0- 7 and Moynihan with 0-6. Fairly low returns i think Jod would offer a more consistent threat

Is the league final definitely on in Croke Pk? There could be a very low turnout if it’s ourselves v Galway. Surely there’s a case to be made for moving it to an alternative neutral venue (obviously Limerick if it’s Mayo!!)?

Hard ask of the Tribesmen to win in Tyrone though...plus Mayo have to drop points v Monaghan. Far more likely scenario is final v Tyrone...but I'm not putting money on that either.

But sure don't you the fans won't be accommodated; we're not Dublin, after all.

Fixed for Croke Park with the division 2 final.. There is a CCC meeting tonight which could change the above - there is speculation that the division 1 football & hurling finals would form a double header - this would be most likely if Galway were to contest both finals - will be interesting to see what happens.

The only way they will take the league final out of Croke Park is if there is a big rugby game on at Landsdown Road the same they.

Brian Kelly's kickouts are well below what we need. I think it is very close between Ryan and Murphy. I think I slightly prefer Ryan but is very close. David Moran is injured and will miss the rest of the league. Will the Crokes players be considered for selection? Think that Ryan is way out in front of either Kelly or Murphy. Kelly never really was good enough and to be brutally frank, its quite clear why Murphy was behind Kealy at Kilcummin and would still be if he was at his native club. Kealy would look unbelievable if kicking the ball out to the Crokes outfield in the Kerry county championship too. Against top opposition at club level and when in for Kerry, I don't think Murphy has shown enough to claim the jersey. Has to be Ryan for me, despite the controversy about where he may play for his club. He is the best option.

Based on what evidence is Ryan way out in front?

Anything come from that meeting GAA.ie has the hurling as to be played on the Saturday or Sunday (TBC) so who knows what that means.

If Galway make it to both League finals, double header in Croke Park? According to GAA website its Division 1 and 2 finals on Sunday March 31st. They cant go chopping and changing just because certain counties make it to finals.

Somehow I don’t think Galway will be there as I feel Tyrone will beat them in Omagh..

I would like to see Diarmaid oConnor selected at midfield with JB v Rossies to see how he fares out there. He seems to have the engine to operate between the two 21 yard lines and there is no doubting his footballing skills. He got a good point v Mayo and his confidence levels might be on the up.

We have to try something here because this sector while it may be giving us something in a defensive capacity it’s giving us almost nothing going forward. ! I find this frustrating in the extreme. This is part of the reason our half forward aren’t high enough up the pitch they are scavenging down field only drawing trouble on ourselves. Modern game or not I ve never seen such lack of offensive productivity from an 8 or 9 . But I don’t think a Diarmuid O Connor is the answer yet so far does not appear to me to be giving near 100% in the tackle or breaking ball.

Id have no problem with a defensive mf if the half backs are given licence to attack at will and to be honest id rather murphy white or o sullivan shooting over barry moran etc
