So now Kerry now their first opponents of the Championship 2023, and as we expected its Tipp coming to Killarney. Whatever attraction this years Munster Championship had is now gone since Cork cannot now meet Kerry in the Munster Final. Kerry will probably be meeting Clare in a Munster Final should we overcome Tipp, not sure if a Munster Final can be played in as small a venue as Ennis but that will be sorted in due course.. This years Munster Championship might suit Kerry so they can get through a bank of work now for the next 6 weeks and begin to peak for the Round Robin. I'd like to see Jack give 1 or 2 players game time in Munster like Ruairi Murphy & Barry Dan to bring them on a small bit more. I'm not sure what Kerry team will go out, will they rest the Cliffords or will they put out as strong a team as possible

I'm not sure what Kerry team will go out, will they rest the Cliffords or will they put out as strong a team as possible We are in a nice position now as we can afford to try more players and rest some (no disrespect to Tipp). However I would like to see David Clifford and Seanie Ó Shea play just for selfish reasons really. I think both players have a chance to be top scorers in the championship so let them score as much as possible. Also it gives Seanie more practice with frees and 45s also. However we can def try other things out and different elements of play so we can be ready for most scenarios come quarter final stage. having them fresh come the last 16 stage is more important than any top scoring ranking anyone know the munster final venue if it Kerry v Clare?

There’s been a big gap since the league, no need for more rest. We need to get our best 15 out on the pitch playing together for the 2 games in Munster pre round robin.

I think if Clare or Waterford get to a Munster Final and are entitled to home advantage than it must be played at a neutral venue due to capacity size of their home venues... Clare last got to a Munster Final in 2010 when they played Cork which was played in Limerick so I would expect Kerry to play a Munster Final in Limerick this year should they beat Tipp.

Any updates on defenders Brión O'Beagleoich and Mike Breen, similarly, my preferred wing forward men, Adrain and Stephen.

Listening to Radio Kerry, two long term lads in Stefan and Dara Roche have been added to with Jack O'Shea (calf) and Dan Donoghue (ankle).
He has advised Briőn and the rest of the league absentees are all back in full contention.

Ah ya whosinmidfield, hard to argue with that, maybe Jack Barry for Barry Dan, as Jack likes consistency, but that is marginal as both are similar. Barry Dan does however pose a more offensive threat, whereas Jack Barry is more defensive. In this respect as Diarmuid is starting and would be seen as the more aggressive attacker, then considering as a partnership Jack Barry would be the best to compliment. The other factor is Adrain will be falling deep if both go forward... still its options.
Killian Spillane and Geaney are 50/50 for me, Geaney is probably a better starter and Killian consistent as, an off the bench impact. Donal Down blew hot and cold, when bottled in Salthill he looked ordinary but still, I am a fan and have been impressed by him.
So ya, agree with your XV, but could see an all Na Gaeil center-field, but one couldn't live off the difference.

Am I dramatically overreacting or is Rob Monahan from the Kerry u20s a very capable challenger for this panel? Most lads that stand out at u20 are skilful but lack the physicality but he seems way ahead of his peers in terms of power and pace as well as the ability to kick points

Kerry & Clare have a home & away arrangement BUT not for Munster finals - Gaelic grounds the obvious but could go to PUC!

Jack will likely play 3 midfielders rather than 4.
I'd imagine he'd want a replacement on the bench.
But given our weakness in that area I can understand the idea of 4.

I don't know, looking at the league games, we lost the games Adrain Spillane did not tog in as we were beaten physically with little turnovers, these two aspects of our play are enhanced with the positioning of the Templenoe man.

Jack thinks we have a stronger panel this year with all the new lads he has tried out. I wonder and who are all these new lads? Both Darragh Roche and Okunbar probably gone for year so only 3 new faces in Barry Dan Donal Down and Cian Gammel. We have lost David Moran and Joe Ó Connor which seriously weakens our midfield options. I suppose we have Mike Breen back which is great but I'm not sure we that much stronger than last year. Ruari Murphy would be a new addition this year who started one league game and came on in a few others. Pa Warren is another who got good game time in this years league and started 2 games I think. He was on the panel last year but I don't remember him playing. Cian Gammel was on the extended panel last year but he didn't get any minutes in this year's league. I would agree that only the return of Mike Breen strengthens the panel compared to last year. Barry Dan has done well but it looks like our midfield options will be weaker than last year.

Intriguing that Darragh O'6 feels Murphy retired from Donegal because of what was going on - would he take such a major decision as opposed to riding it out?
Donegal still have the players and in a strange kind of way, this could empower them, i.e. nothing to prove and so they might decide to prove everything. There is no shortage of talent as such and while nobody has too strong a panel, they just need that traditional fortitude to bind them as a unit; they will also be encouraged by how Monaghan toppled '21 champs Tyrone.
The more I think about it the more open Ulster looks and it would be a brave call to rule out any of the leading 5 - are any of them good enough for Sam though? Were Tyrone in '21? Such close competition might drive them on and who knows what obstacle they will present.

Kerry will beat Tipp on Saturday but I don't expect them to take over from the start. I expect them to be leading at half time and probably pull away to a comfortable win in the final quarter. Tipp will put in a dogged championship performance, but would appear to be selling themselves short, as their selector and best footballer to come out of the county, Declan Browne said last week that there was no point saying they are going to beat Kerry, they are preparing for the Tailteann Cup. So the Kerry performance could be tepid enough but, in no way will it be a reflection of how they will do later on.

This might be a stupid question so forgive my ignorance. I can't make it down for Saturday so going to have to settle for GAA Go.
Do you need to watch it live or can you purchase it and watch the broadcast back say an hour or two after the final whistle?
Herself is demanding I traipse around the shops after her on Saturday afternoon so hoping to cocoon myself from all knowledge of the game as it progresses and then settle down and watch it in peace around 6 or 7pm that night.
