Any guess at a team for the Cork game? Huge amount of weddings lately for the players, a good few will be missing. a guess is what it would be! weddings, holidays, injuries, Covid, flu's etc, impossible to call a team looking forward to seeing the team when it is named |

Well as far as I know the following players are out due to Club or Injuries:
Jack Savage
David Moran
Paul Murphy
Shane Ryan
Paudie Clifford
David Clifford
Joe O'Connor
Gavin White
Also there is good reason to look at new faces given the lads have been playing a lot of football since we played Limerick in Tralee in January between Club & County.
I can see a lot of fringe players getting game time in this McGrath Cup and probably 1st 3 or 4 league games as well. Probably some more lads from the winning East Kerry team to be called up as well as 1 or 2 more outstanding guys from the County Championship. Jack will be looking to increase the competition for places

Thanks lads, Cannot find accommodation in castlebar. Looks like Westport is the only option. None in Tralee either for the Armagh game. The last time (or maybe the time before that) that Kerry played Mayo in Castlebar they stayed in the McWilliam hotel in Claremorris so that could be an option. It might be full with Ukrainians this year though. |

Shane Murphy
Chris O’Donoghue
Dylan Casey
Jack O’Shea
Dan O’Donoghue
Cian Gammell
Mike Breen
Shane Cronin
Greg Horan
Pa Warren
Stefan Okunbor
Ronan Buckley
Eanna O’Conchuir
Ruairi Murphy
Barry Mahony
Michael Burns
Dara Moynihan (coming back from injury so in need of games)
Dara Roche
Eddie Horan
Tony Brosnan
Killian Spillane
Donal O’Sullivan

Barry O'Sullivan deserving a cut off it, also Croke's Mark O'Shea and David Shaw Barry Sullivan refused the invitation to attend inside - I'd be giving Ronan Buckley a right good look, and persist for a few games. Is Spa's Liam Kearney back inside does anyone know? |

Barry Sullivan refused the invitation to attend inside Not according to Jack in today’s interview the list of players called in is not in a quotation so may not be Jack's words. It was rumoured before Jack called anyone in that he was going travelling in 2023 so hard to know Barry was super for Dingle all year, I would like to see him getting a run in the mcgrath cup and NFL He had one amazing weekend last summer, man of the match in the county league football final on a Friday evening for Dingle and the match went to extra time and had a whale of a match for Kilmoyley in the hurling championship semi final the following evening in a match that also went to extra time. great sportsman |

David Clifford
Paudie Clifford
David Moran
Jack Savage
Shane Ryan
Paul Murphy
Also there might be a few from these clubs that were potentially in the called-in category if they were available besides lads from last year's panel
Injured
Joe O'Connor - out for the year
Gavin White
Mike Breen
Paul Geaney
Stephen O'Brien
Graham O'Sullivan
Seanie O'Shea
Hard to see any of these involved in the Cork game anyway given Jack named them but who knows beyond that in terms of when they are likely to back.
There may well be others carrying knocks or out sick given the amount of illness that is around (heard some more names who may be missing but will just leave it to who Jack mentioned in the article. Don't be too surprised to see some might be listed as subs/some might be back for the Clare game)
That's pretty clear in terms of who the management are looking at as potentials this year. Hard to see any others being added to the mix barring an injury crisis in some position.
On Barry O'Sullivan's involvement it would be a fairly strange for Jack to name him if he's not "inside" especially in terms of options around the middle.

Not A bad selection by Cork, the last three subs are tidy, Cronin, Deane and Sherlock. Deane was dropped last year which surprised he, he was always a direct runner and reminds me of their early 90's forty yard man Joe Kavanagh.

I think Deane just took time away but maybe I'm wrong but that what I recall. A good strong player that always seemed to cause us problems but maybe our sweeper system might not suit him. Cleary is a crafty manager. |

I'm not really a gambler but I like a bet on the 4 national league divisions.
I never back against Kerry but I'm struggling to see us winning the league this year.
Fixtures look tough away to Mayo,Tyrone and Donegal and Galway.
With all our injuries and club tied players and hopefully a rest for David Clifford.
Can we win the league 4 years on bounce ?
So I'm swaying towards,
D1 Mayo - I think they'll get a bounce from McStay and returning injured forwards.
D2 Dublin
D3 Westmeath
D4 Laois
Or am I mad altogether ?
Sorry in advance I'm not promoting gambling its just an interest during the winter!

I'm thinking that Jack has the right attitude towards the league and he will have a squad of very motivated players who want to show why they should be on the championship panel. Some of the Fossa, Rathmore and Kerins O Rahillys players might see some league time as well, depending on results this weekend. The club finals are 22nd of January so a lot of the players will be available for some of the league.
Those that will play will want to show that they should be on the panel for the championship and that can be a great motivator. Donegal, Monaghan and Mayo have all last key players. I think Galway, Armagh and Tyrone will have most to gain by winning the league.
Still, I think Kerry will win the league, purely to issue a statement of intent and because we have little opposition in Munster.
In division 2 Cork, Clare, Derry, Derry, Kildare, Meath should all be able to beat each other on a good day. I don't think promotion for Dublin is a given and would expect Derry or Kildare to do well.
Division 3 Westmeath, but I don't know enough about each team to truly have a go at predictions.
Division 4 Wexford: the talk is great in Wexford so maybe they can improve and get promoted.

While his form did dip it was an overreaction by Ricken to completely drop him in my opinion. |
