The striking thing about the team is that it seems to be an improvised selection if they line out as selected. Conversely, if we get to the AI final that forward line could be very close to the attack that lines out then. The striking thing about the midfield is that they may try to impress individually and not form a partnership, playing into Fenton's hands (no pun intended). The backs look like it will be a workman like effort to get a result. A lot of the comments about the work Kerry has done does not match what Jason McGahon said on Terrace Talk on Monday. Didn’t hear TT. What did he say?

I think that's probably true but we need a win against Dublin January or not.

As the game goes on I could see Tommy Walsh move into 15 and Geaney and So'S move out a line each.

They should have fixed it for later on during the spring. I can’t honestly remember such a strong team in the opening game, not in a good while anyway.

This potentially could be the first of a few (4)battles with the dubs this year (all in croke park) so no harm get a win its been a while ,3 year's since we have beaten them up there. A win here and we can experiment a bit more in the rest of the games 6 points will probably be enough.

James was outstanding against Roscommon last Monday week

Exciting again, what a panel, as much as who's in reserve yet we can still field that team, 'what do ya think of that Joe Brolly?'.... Spillane at MF interesting, maybe to add perspective to his skill set - anyone enlighten us of his progression? Pure magic here! We will all moan of lack of info but fact is if we know so do opponents. The only info we want is to see Sam home. We often talk of the strength of the sport across different counties - I wonder is there a correlation between it and the capacity of the various venues. The list for 2020 includes one per county, so ASP not there, and only one of three for dear auld Donegal.

Are the management team going to go down the same route as last year and not name any subs? Such nonsense. If you're relying on not naming subs to give you an advantage then you've got bigger problems

A positive for me is that Kevin McCarthy is back on board. I have always liked Kevin and he would have made a difference last Sept. if he was available. Well done to management too.

If you're relying on not naming subs to give you an advantage then you've got bigger problems Kerry stopped naming their subs because Dublin and Mayo don't name theirs until before throw in. For what it's worth, Dublin stil haven't officially named their starting team for tonight's match.

Lots of Dublin lads I know are disappointed that you don't know who is involved until throw in. Like Tomas O'Se once said "if Tyrone won an All Ireland going set dancing sure we'd all be set dancing next year"!

That goes to print on thursday I believe.

This team is shy of about four players and you have your championship team. I don’t believe they are not taking the league seriously, they will be trying to win this league, looking at this team. They looked very impressive against Rossies last week and have high amounts of work put in. I expect nothing but a win tonight in front of a pack full of Dublin supporters Croke pk.

Very good piece from Tomas in today's Indo. Almost didn't bother to read it. Worth the few minutes read. Some good insights.

Lot of silly begger stuff with teams these days, seems to have creeped into the league now aswell. I guess it will sell more programs as its annoying to not know whos on the bench!

I think it's poor form that the county board don't list the subs.

Wasn’t aware of this. I always liked Kevin and I also believe he has something to offer if he is all in and focused on football

Sure we're only back from holidays as well. Plus the Templenoe lads were club-tied until recently; the Na Gaeil lads still are. Then there's the Sigerson going on as well. An U20 B-team was sent out to play the in McGrath Cup. So when did the Kerry seniors get all this work in?

I fear for us around the middle tonight Dublin have named a very strong midfield.

They weren't training with club's and collages. Only playing the games.
