Agree, we have supposedly the best panel in the country, admittedity brothers Clifford are absent but still wee should have enough to win the home and pick up some points on the road. Time to step up for some fringe players. all well and good having a great panel but even the best panel gets stretched when theres up to 15 lads not available on it! make no doubt about it, we are going to struggle for 3 or 4 weeks.

The barometer is always to championship so I am expecting maybe 4 or 5 guys with no champ game time, which I think is interesting.

We probably will and do you know what, that may be a good thing. If we can get most of our players back for the last 2 league games and 2-3 newish/fringe players from the earlier rounds of the league are pushing on we should be in good shape. It might be no harm if we are struggling for points ether as it'll mean we'll have to play those last 2 games at a championship like pace. With the round robin games this year it'll hopefully give us a chance to hit top form for the business end.

I expect it will be similar enough lineup to the Clare game but with D O'Connor out and a couple of other changes

For all the absences that's still a decent team on paper, plenty of experience and talent and more importantly opportunities to be taken!

I think the performances of the midfield and half forward line will decide how we do in this game. We know what we’ll get from the 6 backs and I’d also expect that between them we’ll get enough from Brosnan, Roche and Spillane. We need 5 big performances from those wearing jerseys 8 to 12.

Strong enough team. Backs very solid looking. Big opportunity now for Dara Roche and Tony and Kkuan. With David resting it gives the forwards a better chance to shine. Yes and no, the worst jerseys to be handed in the league must be 13 and 11. It's not as if one is going to dislodge Seanie and David Clifford, actually i support one could pencil in Paudie's shirt as well. Still decent team, like everyone has alluded to, strong back 6, getting the space to score may be the most challenging. Not much midfield cover on the bench, Ruairí Murphy and Stefan. But I don't know what Jack considers the Na Gaeil man as, a back or a mid fielder.

Ya decent team but I make it 12 lads that played some part against Galway in the final, missing.
Think no real surprises there, kerryman pretty picked that exact 15

Albeit Stefan has been impacted with injuries. I'd tend to concur with him.

Lads appreciate that it’s a strong team named, but I wonder how much work the team have done since the team holiday, is it enough to get a 70 minute performance, definitely experienced, looking forward to the game to see how we cope with out DC.

Stefan is a big strong lad but I too don't think he has the footballing ability for this level. Hope he proves me wrong.

What are you disappointed about in Stefan other than the injuries? From the limited amount I've seen of the lad I expected a bigger impact given his time in Australia. I sincerely hope I am wrong because he strikes me as a lovely lad and I hope it works out for him and Kerry.

I cannot recall anything to be honest but could be wrong. Some McGrath cup minutes maybe.

We need him and I hope he fulfils his potential. You dont make the Kerry team if you are a poor footballer.

Give Stafan a chance before the analysis begins - he has been hyped up on minimal evidence and now without having had much of an opportunity his abilities are being questioned.
I can still remember a teacher I had years ago who fancied himself for his ability to spot footballing talent - he saw two Beale brothers with the surname Liston play a league game in Austin Stacks Park and his only comment was whatever about Padraig the other fella, Eoin was no footballer. He had scored 1-1 the same day but he was too awkward to make a footballer was the learned mans opinion.

Disaster... well only for me. Apparently a rat has been chewing the cables under the car and break fluid and clutch fluid is leaking. So no trip to Donegal for me, but happy I dodged a bullet as I could be half way to Donegal and find myself without breaks.
It is a fine team really, strong defensive unit and the full forward line has potential. Midfield is an issue, but it's about time we see the midfield prospects do well. They'll get a stern test. Interestingly lots of counties get around the midfield issue by having a 3 men midfield going for the breaking ball. There are less and less clean catches in midfield and very often a midfielder will tap the ball down. You don't need to win the ball that way, as long as you come out of midfield with the ball. Stefan is a tall, strong lad and a great athlete. He has potential, but probably has to make up for missing some footballing years while in Oz and needs some time to reach his full potential. He might, or might not, become a regular starter, but I don't think we've seen enough of him yet to make that judgement.

Stefan is now at the stage where he is starting to be talked down after being hyped up despite having played basically no football in between.
