With no GAA action time to create a bit of debate and distraction.
How about picking your best 15 to have played with Kerry between 2000 and 2020.

Just reading this trend brings home how blessed we were with backs in the period 2000 to 2010. Some of the best we will ever see

There has been a glaring omission in all teams put forward. Maurice came on as a sub in the 2000 final. He should have been on from the start but how could someone with Paidi's ego allow one of the greats of all time to out shine him.
The match was 50/50 through the first half but just like Jim Gavin and Connolly last year, Paidi decided that winning with Fitz on was more tolerable than losing with Fitz off so he was introduced in midfield (if memory serves me right) before half time. Not a sign of the injury that he was supposed to have. He played very well, took a few high ones and set up attacks. Then in the second half he decided to go on a run. The Galway centre back was john Divilly who has had some success with UCD since. He was anticipating Maurices' solo run to rattle him. Maurice switched from soloing with the right to soloing with the left forcing Divilly to hold back. With that bit of space Maurice planted it between the posts. That was the score that proved Galway would not win and makes Maurice a 21 century AI winner.
EDIT This happened in the replay, played under lights on a Saturday evening.

I dont know if Maurice was fully fit or not for the drawn game or the replay. How can you be so sure that he was fit. The full semu final replay is in the videos thread. Maurice was clearly out on his feet in extra time and lost possession 3 or 4 times in extra time...a fit Maurice would not have done so. Maybe he recovered fully between the semi final and the finals. I dont know and I would say few do.

When you look back on it there's some team there. We've been blessed to have such talented players come through, our 1 all Ireland in the past 10 years has made us somewhat forget this slightly but wow.

What i can say is he played very well in a keenly contested AI final. He didn't show what you saw in the Semi. It could have been the best part of 2 months after the semi because the replay went well into October.

I agree he played very well when introduced. I think he caught the first kickout and sent Liam Hassett away for a point.
And i think he slung over the next one too.

Someone mentioned earlier that the 2000 replay was under lights on a Saturday evening. As far as I recall, there were no lights at the time as Croke Park renovations weren't finished. The Hogan Stand was only half built, hence the cup being presented on the pitch in 1999 and 2000 Finals.
I think that replay threw in at 2pm, which even in October gave time for the match and extra time if it proved necessary. I remember chatting to Galway supporters sitting beside me in the Canal End at half time. They had driven up that morning and got caught in the Saturday afternoon shopping traffic on the west side of Dublin. They barely made it in for 2pm. The big match on a Saturday was a new concept at the time and I recall it being said that it wouldn't catch on. Additional traffic in and out of Dublin or other cities on a Saturday, would be too much a problem.
Oh the benefit of hindsight...

I was on the Canal Upper.
To my right was a spanking new Cusack Stand with Corporate boxes etc.
To my left, the Hogan was a building site. The TV cameras were on the Hogan side.
Moynihan was imperious.

just cant leave out MFR...an incredible player for us, one of the most under appreciated of them all.

I'm going to do two teams 2000 to 2009 and 2010 to 2019. There's going to be a bit of a cross over with some. Will have my resons for some, others wont need one.
2000-09
1. Diarmuid Murphy 2. Marc O Se 3. Mike McCarthy 4. Tom Sullivan 5. Tomas O Se 6. Seamus Moynihan Could swap him with Mike McCarty or the other way around. 7. Aidan O'Mahony 8. Darragh O Se 9. William Kirby While Seamus Scanlon won an All-Star in this time i also felt he struggled once Darragh retired. In 2004 when Darragh was out Kirby really stood up and was almost Man of the Match in the final when he scored three points. 10. Paul Galvin 11. Declan O Sullivan 12. Liam Hassett 13. Gooch 14. Star 15. Mike Frank Russell An ofen overlooked star i've always though. From 2000 to around 2002 was unstoppable at times. Is 8th in the all time top scorer for Kerry.
2010-2019
1. Brendan Kealy Was an All-Star in 2015 and played a lot more than some think. 2. Marc O Se 3. Aidan O'Mahony Hard to pick any standout here, but Mahony did well there. 4. Shane Enright From 2014 to 2016 was top class. Unluckly not to have two All-Stars 5. Paul Murphy 6. Peter Crowley 7. Killian Young 8. Anthony Maher 9. David Moran 10.Donnacha Walsh 11. Gooch Until he got injured was playing some of his best on the 40 12.Stephen O'Brien 13. Paul Geaney 14. Declan O Sullivan Played a lot of good football in the full forward line later on. 15. Darran O'Sullivan Again people might forget he played some of his best football during this time. Aside from his 2011 form was very good in part between in 2013 and 2016

I know this has been about football but some hurlers from this era who stood out for me are as follows.
Had it not been for injury and other things Tadhg Flynn would have been one of Kerry's greatest keepers. John Healy was still doing it for most of the 2000's
Had some great backs in the 2000 to 2009 era Aidan Healy, Ian Brick, Colin Harris to name a few. Always felt Aidan Healy was hard done by in this last year in the 2010 Christy Ring final. Lads like Bryan Murphy, Darren Dinneen and Tom Murnane from 2010 to 2019 have been very good. Tom Murnane won a Railway Cup.
John Griffin was great across both time frames.
There was some great forwards in the 2000 to 2009 time. Shane Brick, Boxer, John Mike Dooley. Dooley nother hard done by in 2010. From 2010 on thre was more greats Shane Nolan, Darragh O'Connell, Mikey Boyle, Pádraig Boyle and John Egan, Mike Conway. Shane Conway is well on his way to being an all time geat
