Cork can win if we presume last year was a fluke and vengeance will see us through. They will target Paudie, hope David will react and disrupt Kerry's plans. This game is down to Moran, Geaney and O Brien, and possibly Paull M when he comes in. JOD should have stuck with it.

Ah weather affecting some of us, every game selection has me feel so proud to be of Kerry, Sean O'Shea is an accident waiting to happen (for opponents), DC and Maurice will get a run for their money - just watch the way he carries himself, as someone said 'he even looks like a footballer' - Vet (justifiably) questions my assertion that this is the all time greatest Kerry team, I haven't changed my mind yet Vet, now I know standards are rising, what with resources, etc, and of course we will never know if they'd beat Dwyers boyos - I'll leave that to Mick, Vet, Mandad, etc - maybe MO'C, we are the keyboard warriors, we talk the talk, then again I have poetic license.

Quote of the day - There is no such thing as a free Nobel Prize - Marie Heaney, wife of Seamus There is no doubt about it this is a hell of a Kerry team but who will remember a team that doesn't win the all Ireland. Imo this team has been their their abouts but it's the final 15 mins when we should be closing out a game we get complacent / tired and create cynical fouls that allow other teams to come back and bite us . An example of that was last year v cork with half a minute to go.. As everyone knows this is part of the great Kerry team that should of won an all Ireland 2/ 3 years ago they have it in them but they are lacking in the final 15.

To be fair its still a very young team for the most part. Our four most important players are now 22 or 23 Clifford,o Shea, Tom sull and o connor. They had a bit of maturing to do as players, characters and physically.
We look like we have a good panel there now , Morley Murphy and Sherwood in the backs, a.spillane and Barry at mf and brosnan ,Walsh and killian up front all adding to the finishing team

Good team but do we really need 5 defenders on the bench against Cork? Like, all due respect to him but Pa Kilkenny isn't going to play, we all know that (cue Pa's first appearance for years to make a liar out of me). I would have preferred to see someone like Joe O'Connor there, a bit of muscle if required and well able to cover ground.

We have plenty of cover at midfield really, it’s the half forward line that has no cover on the bench. Burns was that cover until Moynihan got injured. It’s not a big problem though as we have options with moving playing players around or else playing with only 3 half forwards instead of the 4 we are playing at the moment with an extra inside forward.

My worry is that we don't have the muscle the likes of burns is the only one to on that team that could let his opponent know he was there . That's what we are missing is the likes of BJK / Tomas /Galvin (I know it's a different era now )to rough up the opposition team our boys seem to be too nice need a bit of hardening up imo

Good to see that the selection is consistent so management shows that the AI is the object. The score tomorrow doesn’t matter, the performance does and success follows. They must take control of the game from the off. If Cork have tactics that must be overcome these must be identified dealt with, like taking long range scores if the D is crowded. Then when dominance is established they can swap points. A business like performance will see them through.
I would like to see Tommy Walsh get a good run.

I've a feeling that Cork could look to isolate Connelly on Beaglaoich, and this could work for them. I'd put Gavin Crowley on Connelly and let Beaglaoich the free man. Prediction; Kerry 1.20 Cork 1.11

We should win tomorrow, I really miss being in Killarney on Munster Final day, it really is special no matter what the result. It’s not going to be easy, despite the narrative in the National media. We should know what to expect from Cork, they will try to crowd the middle and then play one in front of David. This should be an opportunity for others to shine, Paul Geaney needs to lead tomorrow and show the way, ditto O Brien. I am not a fan of Mícheál Burns, I hope he does something to change my mind tomorrow. Killian Spillane should be starting, in my view. He was the only forward to show the way last November and has been brilliant this year. David Moran should count himself lucky to be starting. He is a very talented footballer but my God he just needs to keep it simple. It can be very frustrating watching him take too much out of the ball so often. It’s great to see Mike Breen keep his place and I really hope tomorrow goes well for him. Cork will be no pushovers tomorrow and it will take patience, guile and plenty of direct football to get over the line. To anyone lucky enough to attend the game tomorrow enjoy and Ciarraí abú!

Maurice Shanley, Paul Ring, Liam O’Donovan, Daniel O’Mahony, Killian O’Hanlon and Cathail O’Mahony would all have had a good chance of starting with the last 3 being guaranteed starters. Kevin Flahive will probably pick up Clifford which is very favourable for us. In our full back line, Foley on Hurley, Beaglaoich on Dineen and O’Sullivan on Connolly who drifts out in front of the other two?

Some comments on here tells me there is no shortage of pre Munster Final nerves on here, ah understandable but just take a look back tomorrow evening and see how accurate we were.
Rebels are a decent enough bunch of footballers and they are on the up, on the way back - you have no football in Munster without them and yes I know, we'd like 'em to test us without beating us but I am afraid we have to take care of that ourselves.
Ulster games are magic these days, Dgal are wounded just as whoever loses tomorrow will be. Ulster counties are mad for an open draw, probably because half of the best teams are in Ulster so theoretically they would have 4 in the quarter finals, say 2 in the semis and 1 in the final every year. Many want no back door too though I am not so sure that is not more the case with the weaker ones.
Clones on Ulster Final day is magic as are Dgal home games on a fine day.
Tough that so many can't be there tomorrow but I suppose that is all for the better in the long run and hopefully we won't have to wait too long.

Another sunny day in prospect but Met Eireann are offering the possibility of thundery showers in the afternoon. Last year the heavens opened prior to throw-in despite it being a nice day seemingly everywhere else in the country. 'Twas was like Principal Skinner's Aurora Borealis - the country's rain localised entirely in PUC. Surely to God it couldn't happen again?

Was promised ticket but fell through. 2,500 capacity would make you sick. About ten times that on the street then.

How I'd love to be in Killarney today, almost criminal that we are still being forced to miss these kind of occasions.
Every day is going to big for Keane this year as anything less than an All Ireland will probably mean the end of the road for him. Kerry by 6/7 and after last year's fiasco, I'd like us to start fast and get ahead.
Hopefully the tactics have evolved from having Clifford back inside his 45 like last year.

While our players will be pumped up and bristling from what happened in November 2020, I hope we keep our heads and play today's game not the previous one!
Expecting a good solid display with Kerry emerging with a bit to spare. I hope e'one enjoys the day and we will still be in the mix at six.....
Ciarraí Abú.....

Is he thinking cork will pack the defence and wants to create space for the rest of the forwards, all the while packing the midfield area.
