Great to get over the line this year with this group but just wondering where we go from here?
Probably going to lose Geaney and Moran this year and could do with unearthing a few more defenders as well as a ball winning midfielder.
Who do people see making the step up in the next year or so to keep Kerry at the top table?
I'd love to see Dylan Casey, Dan O'Donoghue etc making more of a case in the backline as well as the return of Mike Breen.
Okunbar could be left get a run of games midfield this year possibly although Barry and O'Connor have done really well for us.
Would be great to get another killer inside forward alongside Clifford. Spillane might step into the starting team next year or else Brosnan might start to show at this level.

We have four over the age of 30 on this years final 26 - David Moran is the eldest of these and is probably most likely to retire. Expect at least 1 (maybe more) of the other over 30's to decide to bow out on a winning note (Paul Murphy, Paul Geaney and Stephen O Brien).
I think the DC/DOC minor class is the last one to produce senior players to date which is somewhat surprising. There were 9 unused squad members included in the match day program - Jack O Shea, Pa Warren, Cian Gammel, Greg Horan, Donal O Sullivan, Stefan Okunbor, Darragh Roche, Dan O Donoghue, Eanna O Conchuir, who have no championship minutes and for some time must be running out - others will get a chance and but for injury may have been involved this year.
Hopefully the county championships unearth another couple of lads who will be looked at in training and possibly some league games in 2023.

I believe there is improvement yet to come from some Kerry players.

A few obvious things for next year:
- Weight off shoulder for a number of players.
- Hunger to taste more days like this for many.
- Desire for people like Killian, Tony Brosnan and Joe O'Connor to break into starting 15.
- Return from injury of Breen, Casey, O'Donoghue, Okunbar et al should see great competition for places.
The latter points should mean Kerry enter the league with great relish....
Kerry transformed how they defended in 2022. In 2023 we will either need to do what we did (in 2022) even better or we will need to bring something new again.
First world problems for Kerry....

Jack and his selectors and Tally seem very popular with the players. A few have referenced Jack ability to communicate with them...meeting them for a chat etc.
I think it was Killian that said in the post match interview that they 'practice scenarios that arise in a match'.... well thats something that didnt happen in Jacks previous reign going by KDs book so it just all goes to show that Jack is now older, wiser and has the ability to adapt and change. The ability to adapt and change is key to survival and development.

I would be shocked if we change anything defensively if it aint broke... a bit of cover at 3 and 6 would be a priority.
An injury to foley or tadgh and we would be in a bit of bother.
In midfield i think we arent too badly stocked barry and diarmuid with joe and okunbar and adrian all good options.
We need a bit more punch in ff line to compliment david cant rely on one man as good and all as he is! If thats killian or tony brosnan or moving seanie inside with a four man half forward line of DM paudie floating and adrian, sob burns etc. Fighting for a place.
Time is on our side as well there will be a natutal improvement in a lot of guys so we should be in a good place come next year.
There will be an extra is it 2 or 3 games next year with round robin so bigger squads will do better need to add one or 2

Its more that he isnt fast rather than being slow if you get me. The work the 2 kenmare lads did on sunday was unreal and is a huge reason we won it isnt always about scoring 4 or 5 points they made 3 massive blockdowns o briens 2 probably saved 1-1 i know heaney got a point out of it but still. I just think we nay need something different inside next year david could be triple teamed from now on ! Having another blue chip inside like he was in first half against dublin could be vital. |

I think we're fine in GK and backs.
Joe O'Connor is highly rated and might be starting midfield next year.
We need an inside forward asap but I don't think there's anyone coming through so I think it'll be Spillane or Brosnan with Geaney coming off the bench.
Someone else mentioned trying Gavin White as a half forward which is an interesting idea.
Paul O'Shea is highly rated also so might be after Stephen O'Briens place.
I like the idea of having O'Brien, Geaney, Murphy, Moran etc coming off the bench.
Dublin had a similar approach with very experienced lads like MDMcA, Brogan etc.
I'd like us to find a quick, explosive forward like JOD or Con to compliment Clifford but I'm not sure one exists.
Excited to see Stefan Okunbor also, see what position suits him best.

While accepting he is a one off players we need to have more (scoring) strings to our bow. |

while of course the discussion is around who from 16-36 on the panel can step up, id like to see who people think outside of that group can step up.
============================================================
this was our under 20 team this year -
Kerry: D Burns; D O’Callaghan, A Dineen, J Nagle; E O’Connor, A Heinrich, T Cronin; R Murphy, S O’Brien; K Evans, T O’Donnell, E Looney; D Geaney, C Burke, K Goulding.
Subs: G Hassett for Evans (37); A Curran for Cronin (41); J Kissane for O’Donnell (48); T Doyle for Looney (52); J O’Connor for Goulding (57).
============================================================
and this was it last year.
Kerry
1. Marc Kelliher (Glenflesk)
2. Colm Moriarty (Annascaul), 3. James McCarthy (Kenmare Shamrocks), 4. Owen Fitzgerald (Gneeveguilla).
5. Dan Murphy (Rathmore), 6. Eoghan O’Sullivan (Killarney Legion), 7. Eoin Clifford (Laune Rangers).
8. Darragh Lyne (Killarney Legion), 9. Sean O’Brien (Beaufort – captain).
10. Tom Doyle (Dr Crokes), 14. Paul O’Shea (Kilcummin), 12. Killian Falvey (Annascaul).
13. Conor Hayes (Kerins O’Rahillys), 11. Dylan Geaney (Dingle), 15. Ruaidhri Ó Beaglaoich (An Ghaeltacht).
Subs
19. Sean Quilter (Austin Stacks) for Hayes (39)
18. Jack Kennelly (Ballydonoghue) for Doyle (39)
17. Alan Dineen (Rathmore) for Moriarty (47)
24. Patrick Darcy (Glenflesk) for Falvey (50)
22. Paul Walsh (Brosna) for Ó Beaglaoich (59)
============================================================
who from the above, are most likely to step up?

We're too reliant on Clifford. I think if he got injured, we'd have lost to the Dubs and Galway Hard to disagree with that comment - he was off form against Cork in 2020 and we lost, went off injured against Tyrone in 2021 and we lost. While accepting he is a one off players we need to have more (scoring) strings to our bow. To be fair we have a nice spread of scorers and even our backs are able to chip in, but we're definitely too reliant on Clifford. It's an unhealthy way to be. Maybe people who know Kerry football better could suggest someone coming through. If Spillane and Brosnan were the answer, they'd already be starting. I feel Geaney at 32 is past it as a top level forward. He wasn't the quickest to begin with. |

I think next year could be a big one for Joe O'Connor.
I was hugely impressed everytime he came on he brought huge energy and running and most importantly he was very comfortable on the ball.

He has great pace and is direct so brings something different to our other inside forwards. I think it’ll be midfield if it’s to be anywhere for Stefan. There’s so much competition in the backs and they’re all brilliant ball players. If he can bring great physicality and athleticism to the midfield area it’ll be his best chance. |

They’re the 3 standouts from outside the panel for me and all have previously been involved with the Kerry Senior panel. Sean O’Brien is a player with potential who could be brought in. Cillian Burke is a very promising player who is u20 again next year but maybe he could be brought in to boost his development. Any other names? There isn’t too many really. |

In terms of players making the breakthrough into the senior football squad next year and beyond, generally speaking forwards, particularly inside forwards tend to be noticed as having potential at a much younger age than defenders. It takes a bit of time and coaching, S&C etc to turn a potentially good back into a good back. Inside forwards either have that cut about them or they don't. They can be coached to be better but what's needed is much easier to identify. |

Ruairi Murphy very impressive for East Kerry in the U21 Final tonight. Great engine, smart on the ball and an accurate shooter from distance. He was also very impressive in defeat to Tyrone in the U20 semi-final earlier in the summer. Looks like the type of option we could do with in our half forward line in time.

Agree, Murphy really outshone his more well known partner. Robert Stack for me was outstanding and really brought the fight to EK. It was only when he got injured that EK regained midfield supremacy. Eddie Healy at only 17 is also a beast of a young lad and was not out of place with players four years his senior. I also really rate Marc Kelliher and feek he is second only to Ryan in the county, he would be my second choice on our panel. Unfort as Rathmore are in with EK, in my opinion the two best keepers in the county share the same divisional side. |

I'll try to catch a club game he's playing hopefully. I've heard him touted a few times. I think the futures bright, but David Clifford's only come along every few decades so we need to win as much as possible with him. He likes to operate on right wing to suit his left leg, so maybe an explosive right footer would compliment him. Paul O'Shea is another one touted but apparently more of a half forward. |

I’d like to see Jack bring in a few young players who aren’t ready now but have potential, Murphy potentially being one of them. Eamonn Fitzmaurice had Jason Foley, Tom O’Sullivan, Brian O’Beaglaoich, Killian Spillane etc. inside in training straight out of minor and I think it served them well. It can only be of benefit especially since extended panellists under Jack play all county league games. |

I think Paul Geaney will retire ditto David Moran
Great servants and key we had their All Ireland winning experience from 2014 to assist the 2022 success
As I said great servants but if they are not there in 2023 our hand is not weakened, it just opens door for more game time for likes of Joe O'Connor, Adrian Spillane, Dara Moynihan, Michael Burns, Tony Brosnan, Dara Moynihan, Jack Savage plus a few lads outside the 26 this year may well go up the pecking order
It was interesting Jack Savage came on as a blood sub on sunday, wasnt really in the shake up before that, must have been motoring well in training

He's a clever player who takes the right option but wouldn't have the talent of Paidi. Id imagine Geaney and Moran will stay on. Kerry are favourites next year, why not try for another medal. They'll be a long time retired. Maybe having kids changes things as they won't want to miss seeing them grow up. But I'd bet on them staying on. David Moran has 3 medals now, 4 would be nicer. |

Yes, isn’t it great to be looking forward with renewed hope for the future, as opposed to what if and debating radical overhauls. The panel is in my opinion, in a massive place, I genuinely think some of the class of 2014 may depart. Firstly, I am not writing anyone football obituary, I have too much respect for anyone who puts so much commitment to our cause and subscribes to so much often without a guarantee of success or gratitude,. However, there was a feel of “soak it all up” about Moran and Geaney last Sunday when they were on the pitch at the final whistle, Professionally, domestically and having a young family take precedent and at a certain point in a young man’s life and there just isn’t the possibility to commit to the demands of an intercounty footballer, father time and mileage too are a factor, as well as .. hunger, but hunger works both ways, some walk away, whereas others see, as Darragh quoted, another All Ireland in the group and the opportunity to hang on for another Celtic cross.
Player wise, we are in a great place, Goal Keeper wise, Shane Ryan is all-star quality and in my opinion and this was copper fastened last night, Marc Kelliher from Glenflesk is probably worth a call up as back up to the Rathmore man, Defensively, we have Tom Sullivan, Foley, Graham, Brión, Tadgh and Gavin, add to this sextet, Paul Murphy (if he stays), Gavin Crowley, Dylan Casey, Dan O’Donoghue, Pa Warren, Mike Breen, Stefan Okunbor, Jack O’Shea and Kenmare’s McCarthy, that’s fifteen backs off the top of my head. In midfield, I fully expect Moran to go, and good luck to him, The two Na Gaeil boys, Joe O’Connor, Adrain Spillane and Greg Horan or Stefen Okunbor are options, this is the one area I actually think we may be light enough on.
Up front, from last Sunday, Stephen, Seanie, Paudie and Clifford, like Moran, I actually expect Geaney to go, I’ve been a high admirer of the man and often felt he got undue criticism, anyway, add to this Dara Moynihan, Adrain, Greg Horan, Jack Savage, Burns, Savage, Brosnan, Spillane, Dara Roche, Donal O’Sullivan, Paul O’Shea etc.. an abundance of firepower available.
Put it this way, this is a selected XV who didn’t start or see game time last Sunday for whatever reason, this XV would win you the McGrath Cup and give most intercounty teams a game: Marc Kelliher, Dylan Casey, Gavin Crowley, Dan O’Donoghue, Pa Warren, Stefen Okunbor, Mike Breen, Enna O’Conchuir, Eddie Horan, Greg Horan, Dara Moynihan, Paul O’Shea, Tony Brosnan, Donal O’Sullivan, Dara Roche.

On the other side a small handful of late developers who put the head down for the next 18 months could be massive for this team over the next five years. Easier said that done of course. |

A couple of them have not even shown the commitment and dedication required off the pitch for club football. true and some players have already come into the squad and not made it, so are unlikely to get a second chance. its this years and next years under 20s squads that we need to be looking at essentially. ive great hopes for Donal O Sullivan, delighted to see him get the nod for the squad. must have been recent enough too as he wasnt included anywhere until last week. Agree. One player in particular was brought into the squad and did everything possible off the field to blow his chances. Donal O'Sullivan on the other hand has shown a lot of perseverance to get back from a serious injuy. He was brought into the squad earlier this year after getting a few club game played. Picked up another injury during the year but remained on the extended panel |

Could SOS end up at midfield?
