Struggling to get ball away from kickout seem to have no kick out strategy

Dublin good but they fouled their way through that win,
The amount of hand holding was a joke, ref needed to take more action

They did the same against Cork we should've been a bit cuter and fouled them everything we could on their 45 like they did.
Better team with superior fitness and number of quality players aswell.
We didn't fold the tent anyway but probably a bit lacking to win the big one

Yes, we should have possibly done the same but it shouldn’t be allowed, poor refereeing,
But as you say Dublin were the better team,

Dublin had way more pace than Kerry about the middle eight and they ran the legs off Kerry who were so exhausted that they made some very poor decisions in possession. The ball into the full forward line needed to be quick and needed to be accurate today - sadly, it was neither.
The decision to leave the same player on Dublins chief markswoman for so long was a real bad call by the line too. They made a change here long after the damage was done.
The final score flattered Kerry - being there it felt over at HT and at no point in the second half did it feel otherwise.
Finally, a word on the ref, he made 3 or 4 poor calls against Kerry in the first half and both Kerry co-managers were visibly incensed on the line. Particularly, his inconsistent interpretation and application of the shoulder, the barge and the 3rd person tackle, left a lot to be desired. He also failed to blow for 2 or 3 fouls on Kerry when forwards were fouled/held. They needed all these calls to go their way to compete with a superior and more athletic side.

I think in fairness as someone else has said Dublin dominated the middle 8, ran through us at will, we need to rebuild via our younger players, we have some great up and coming players, it’s important we keep the squad together and build for next year. Hard luck Kerry LGF.

The ladies have had a great year and it took a monumental effort to make the final. The Dubs looked very strong but I felt the ref left too much cynical fouling go by Dublin. They never allowed Kerry build from the backline. Some call it game smarts...but it shouldn't be allowed. The foul count should be interesting.

I'm saying this and I think it applies to the Mens team as well...not the players must I add but I do think they must find it very difficult to stay focused with all the hype we as a county fall into. Songs about teams and calling players the GOAT is only adding to the pressure. And I think inadvertently targets are being put on players back and it gives the opposition energy when they stop them from performing. We're after losing two finals in a fortnight and that is hard to take for players. I know we must create an excitement but a balance must be found!!

The parallels with the men don't end there in that the semi finals showed both Kerry teams heavy reliance on a single forward for scores - hard to repeat that trick when the stakes are highest against a seasoned defence....

My first ladies final, first off great atmosphere, weather helped too, the free flags to wave, really adds to the occasion I thought. I think Dublin (ladies and men's) have a very attractive style of play, attacking, speed and accuracy. Seeing the Dublin warm up vs Kerry today (similar to men's) I became anxious. Dubs did enough damage in the first half overall. Kerry played much better attacking football in second half but alas another final defeat, its harder and harder to go to Croker as a Kerry fan these days  pick ourselves up and off we go again. |

The omens looked bad when a Cork team that trashed Kerry got trashed by Dublin in the semi-final.
Once Dublin got 2 points in the first minute, the writing was on the wall. The Kerry kickout completely collapsed. Should have gotten forwards back for the kickout much earlier and big skyscraper balls into a big bunch of midfielders completely suited Dublin.
Unfortunately Kerry peaked in April in the league final but at least they ended their famine for national silverware.
Dublin look set to dominate again with a lot of new players integrated this year and last year.
To challenge for an All-Ireland, Kerry will need to get more physical in the middle third and develop a couple of forwards that can chip in with a few scores consistently to take the strain off Louise.

Leaving aside Dublins excellence and Kerrys no show the cyclical fouling from Dublin which went unpunished was very poor.
Anytime Kerry looked to build momentum Dublin fouled and slowed the game.

Totally agree, you could see that this form of fouling was well rehearsed by the Dublin team. They decided the only way Louise was going to score was from frees, not to concede goals at any cost. Lucky for them the ref allowed this to continue For me it leaves a sour taste, |

First let's call a spade etc, Dublin were the better team but the pulling of arm all day by Dubs was cynical and ref let them do it all day. They did same in Cork game.

It's not like the officials weren't forewarned either. Dublin fouled their way through the semi-final in a way that would embarrass a Tyrone junior B side. Got away with it then too - a card or 2 brandished but much too late. Once again terrible refereeing favours a Dublin team. Quelle surprise! |

Kerry 2-14 Cork 0-7 (HT 0-7 to 0-3)
The trip to ASP was worthwhile today, though the victory, certainly the margin of it, looked anything but likely early on.
Kerry, playing with a strong breeze, looked very tentative in the opening quarter, at the end of which Cork led by 3 points to 2. The tackling was lacklustre and the passing wayward. All changed in the 2nd quarter, Kerry getting stuck in and getting the rewards. A 4-point margin at the break, however, didn't look much with the elements to be faced in the second half.
The introduction of Lorraine Scanlon at halftime seemed the catalyst for a hugely improved performance thereafter. Midfield was won hands down, Cork were run at and they crumbled alarmingly. Louise Ni Mhuircheartaigh made an appearance and her presence alone appeared to settle those around her in green and gold. The right runs were being made and the right options taken. It was easy in the end, though 2 late goals flattered the Kingdom somewhat.
And the sun even came out - how bad?
Ceist - is there no limit to substitutions in the ladies' game? Kerry must have made about 10 and Cork had a rake of them too - strange in a competitive fixture.
Kudos to the Kerry LGFA for providing team sheets at the turnstile. And €10 in wasn't bad either.

Kerry left full points after them in Killarney on Saturday. Lots of poor shooting, coupled with a vey good Mayo goalkeeper and a few efforts that came back off the woodwork at various times. Interesting to see Liam McHale at the helm for Mayo, he's been on a few management teams over the years.

Galway beat Dublin for the second week in a row. Wide open now Imo its between Kerry and Armagh now. Can't say it was with the aid of the referee. Dublin should have at least 1 or more yellow cards in the second half and extra time. Refree was terrible towards Galway. |

So looks like we may need to beat Armagh in both semi finals and if we did, could end up playing Galway in both
Would be rare enough!
