I think Tom Leo and Potts are short of the standard required. I'm not sure about Wharton I haven't really seen him enough but maybe he could step up. PK rated him enough to bring him on in the semi final of the Munster championship against Clare last year. I think Daniel O'Brien could definetly step up, he could be fantastic for us at centre back. Barry Mahony could also possibly provide an option in the half back line. I hope Graham O'Sullivan has a good league and becomes a real option. I think we need more in defence than last year & like you said, Daniel O’Brien & Graham O’Sullivan are two I would like to see more of - Graham I hope will push his case in the league & nail down a starting berth for the championship; Daniel O’Brien is a guy who has great potential & I hope he can stay injury free for the foreseeable - I would see him strangely enough as a possible midfielder given his athleticism- think he is not the tightest of markers, the freedom of midfield could really suit him. Regarding the others, Tom Leo didn’t make UCD Sigerson team, can’t really see him stepping up; Potts needs to bulk up and has the potential, Wharton I only saw in the county championship last year & feels he has a long way to go. Cian Gammell is a guy I would like to see in a senior panel - strong, pacey & familiar with the last line of defence. I have high hopes for Graham O'Sullivan as well. I was actually really impressed with O'Beaglaoich before he went off injured the last day as his defending looked much improved. The penalty was due to a slip by another defender which led to him fouling for it. Thought he was showing promise whereas I thought Enright and Foley looked easily turned. Haven't seen much of O'Brien except the minor games and sigerson last year but have never failed to be impressed by him. Barry Mahoney could definitely add to the half back line as well as he is a fine athlete and well able to play as well. Hopefully both get some game time in league

Crowley will be a serious addition to the backline and provides much need physicality. You reckon Wharton, Tom Leo or Potts could make the step up? Wasnt saying that i havent seen enough of them just three lads who were on the panel last year. No bother. I haven't seem enough of them three either to make a judgement.

Hopefully both get some game time in league Beaglaoich was limping badly before the peno i wouldnt blame him there he was struggling badly graham Sullivan looks like a good find, hopefully he kicks on

Team I would like to see Saturday 1) Shane Ryan 2) Graham O'Sullivan 3) Jason Foley (to mark Shane Walsh) 4) Shane Enright 5) Gavin Crowley 6) Tadgh Morley (to mark Damien Comer) 7) Paul Murphy 8) Tommy Walsh 9) Liam Kearney 10) Gavin O'Brien 11) Seánie O'Shea 12) Stephen O'Brien 13) James O' Donoghue 14) David Clifford 15) Tony Brosnan Similar team to the last day, assuming Spillane and Ó Beaglaíoch are both ruled out I have Kearney and Graham Sullivan instead. Also I would like to see if Tony can bring his form of the last 2 years for Crokes into a Kerry jersey, if Peter doesn't play him in these type of matches than he'll have a tough job making championship panel. Need a quick defender for Shane Walsh and a sticky one at that and for me Jason Foley best fits. I'd have either Morley or Enright on Comer as I'd imagine the reason he's centre forward is to use the mark rule to his benefit so we need one of our stronger defenders on him. Should be a cracker, I can see this being an enjoyable game if it stays dry. Kerry by 4 👍 What would be the point in putting Tommy Walsh midfield? We need to find/develop midfielders that can handle Dublins midfield and that's not going to be Tommy.

Just click on the image and it enlarges. Amazing stature to that panel, I wonder how many Celtic Crosses in 'em? Ah dare to dream but dream we must! There was massive appreciation up North of the show we put on vs Dubs, that 500,000 watched the first game in the League must be a record, I wonder how many were told it was going well and tuned in? Have we have been involved in all the best games in 2019? and now 2020. Wasn't it White who starred vs Monaghan in sweltering Clones last year, an Olympics 100m candidate - then post game shenanigans by the Dubs last weekend reminded of the abuse DC got that day. David must be of truly unbelievable physical constitution as he never shows the remotest sign of discomfort after such attention.

Surprised they're not blooding Graham O'Sullivan. Good to see Gavin White back at 7 and Liam Kearney starting.

Agree surprised graham isn’t getting a start maybe there will be a change or two prior to throw in - delighted Liam Kearney is getting his chance being supported by a well experienced partner at midfield. I still feel this game would be a good opportunity to try out either Tony B or David Shaw with James and David Cifford in the full forward line alongside them

Not every outlet does them though; Supervalu in Listowel does but not the Centra.

Jail Break!

Kerry were very sloppy. Had 7 points on the board after 16 minutes and really struggled for scores afterwards. A lot of misplaced passes and shots dropped short. Galway breezed through our defence too easy, they'd 5 goal chances in the 1st half by my count. However it's a real positive that Kerry played pretty sh*te but found a way to win all the same, a mark of a top team.

Definitely a get out of jail card with that performance. Felt at times we were very sluggish particularly in the last quarter of the second half and we couldn't seem to deal with Walsh and Comer. But we have to take the positives that the boys never gave up and fought until the end. Kearney looks to be settling in nicely thought he put in a good shift along with Burns who looked really lively. So as they say a win is a win is a win

Huge crowd in for the game and we just missed the rain. Was down near the Mitchell's end for the first half. The full forward line were really on their game. Sad to see James go off at half time. I'm guessing he must have picked up an injury.
I moved down to the Dunnes stores end for the second half to keep an eye on Clifford. Wasn't his best day out and a lot got away from him. In saying that he still scored 6 points and kept showing for it. That's the measure of the man. I had misfortune of being near some pig ignorant Galway fans. A big group of young lads were under the scoreboard and were clearly drunk and ruined the game for a lot of poeple near me. I moved away after about 5 minutes but saw that the Guards ended up going over to them. Other than that it was a lovely evening for football.
Hard to know what to make of the performance overall. We really got opened up at times but good to steal the win at the death. Not sure about Tommy Walsh either. Even though he showed and scored a nice point I don't see it working come championship. Would prefer to see David Shaw or Tony Brosnan get some game time in the league. Our defence is a concern. Galway easily could have another 2 goals. Maybe Morley was a big miss. Anyway I guess 3 points from first two games is a good start.
Finally. You can't beat the Saturday nights in Tralee.

A great game, very entertaining & easy on the eye. Galway will be kicking themselves for letting it slip but the black card cost them dearly in the last 5 minutes of normal & 5 minutes of extra time. David Clifford was unmarkable in the first half as was Shane Walsh in the second, his goal was magical even for a kerry man, our lads couldn’t get near him. James o Donoghue was very good as well so don’t know why he didn’t appear for the second half, hopefully it’s not an injury. In fairness Galway were the better team & should have won but when you have guys of the calibre of our forwards there’s always a chance. We have problems in our back line but is that because we’re struggling around the middle & there’s good ball coming in, I don’t know I thought michael burns did well, Liam Kearney was ok but definitely has potential, Stephen o brien covered a world of ground. We did gave away a load of ball near the finish which nearly cost us, definitely a win from the jaws of defeat. On another note, the new mark does nothing for the game & the sooner it’s gone the better. I’d say Galway will be a bit pissed off with the ref also, he pulled them twice for a player being inside the D for a kick out, in fairness the players in question were running out the opposite side to the side the player was receiving the ball, another absolute joke of a rule.

Surprised JOD didn't appear for the 2nd half, he was on fire tonoght. Please say he's not injured again.

It sounds like Galway were the better side and JOD is once again out? Dublin stepped up a gear tonight, impressive performance by L Flatman could see more of him this year. Comerford really is stepping into cluxo shoes.

We dug it out well when a defeat looked our lot - struggled big time without Seán O’Shea whose workrate was really missed; our half forward line was the missing link - Gavin O’Brien was quiet, Stephen O’Brien was spending more time in defence, Micheál Burns worked hard but is not a centre forward.
Liam Kearney started well and has potential- Jack Barry worked tirelessly and was one of the reasons we won - great industry throughout.
Our defence was opened up regularly - we played Gavin Crowley in the full back line & I don’t think he is suited to it - thought Graham O’Sullivan did well & pushed on in the 2nd half.
We seem to be experimenting and that’s a good thing - winning whilst experimenting is a bonus.
