Ya, Mike70, by in large the majority will pick 13 of that starting, agree too with edgeofthesquare, a fit Brión O’Beagleoich will start, the question is whether it is Graham or Murphy that would make way. I think Mike Breen must be pushing as well, from a physicality point of view. I think Murphy would serve us better on the final push in the last quarter. Moynihan and O’Brien for me are neck and neck, the key is just to figure out which one serve us better as a starter and which one is better utilised off the bench. A fit Adrain has to start, there was a significant and very obvious decrease in our half forward line last day out when he failed to resume after the break. Being honest, I know and have seen very little of Louth, the Mickey factor cannot go unnoticed, where are they likely to target or hurt us? I'm reporting live from the wee county this morning Horse. Louth are fit, well organised and very defensive. The only time the let themselves open was unbelievably against Dublin. They have some good players notably Sam Mulroy is their key man and will take marking. I'd expect Jason Foley to pick him up. Bottom line lads if we don't beat a team 2 divisions below us and beat them convincingly I think you'd have to question our participation in the championship! Well in fairness they are only 1 division below us!

Darragh, as far as I know, received a hand injury which effectively ended his inter county preparation - probably only working his way back to fitness now. I believe he vack playing club football. A hand injury does nt affect fitness that much as one can still run sprint etc. A leg injury I'd understand. Tbf to the selectors Darragh prob an inside forward and they feel we have enough maybe but as a forward unit he better than two or three on the panel. He is a natural scorer. He could do very little, if any, work in the gym; no contact in drills/conditioned games - he was ruled out by Jack at the same time as Stefan so injury must have been serious enough. I believe that Greg Horan, Jack O’Shea, Pa Warren, Gavin Crowley & Dan O’Donoghue are all gone from the panel.

I saw Dan out with his friends after the Mayo game and thought what a shame we could really do with him.

Gavin Crowley has had a serious fall from grace... Won his all ireland and maybe that was enough. The last game i saw him in was away to Monaghan last year and he certainly played well.

To be honest I can see why Darragh Roche has not been called back into the squad. While he started the league well his from really tailed off towards the end especially against teams with a good defensive setup. We only play with 2 inside forwards and at the moment Geaney, Clifford, Brosnan would all e ahead of him. Not to mention Killian Spillane if he comes back. Management seem to rate Donal O'Sullivan higher as well.
To be honest I dont know how good Mike Breen is either. I thought he played well in 21 but, I think he was poor against Tyrone in the semi final. He was constantly targeted for a mismatch in kickouts. Surprising as I think he is 6 foot or more.

Can anyone see or justify an upset in the Cork and Mayo Game?

Can anyone see or justify an upset in the Cork and Mayo Game? It’s hard to see Cork getting a result , as : 1. They are inconsistent- contrast performances vs Clare & then Kerry 2. Cork will always raise their game when playing Kerry esp @ home.

I give cork a good shot against Mayo to be honest. Mayo have always struggled against teams that tend to park the bus. Under Cleary and Walsh have got a fair bit of structure in their defence now and as always are full of running power. I think they will compete well around the middle and will give a far bigger test in this area than Kerry did.
The only worry is corks shooting but, if it clicks it could be close enough game.

Hearing a few lads have slipped out of the panel in recent weeks for a variety of reasons..unusual for young players in the panel of the All Ireland champions..do they lack the hunger or is it a lack of opportunity.

Lack of opportunity I would say. The likes of Jack Ó Shea got no chance. Last year Darragh Roche was named in the first 26 many a day but got no gametime. It's hard on lads that burst a gut and put their lives on hold and don't get a minutes playing time. With all the games, Kerry could have 5 in the next 6 weeks, you'd imagine the need for an enlarged panel.Thatll be a challenge going forward keeping every member of the panel happy, even with the All Ireland champions.

Horsebox, from watching them play 3 times this year, I believe they will be very direct and look to pass our rear guard with pace, murphy and Morley are vulnerable when taken on at pace. They will pull seanie and geaney up the field as well, there weapon of choice will be pace.

I'd say there will be a big crowd in Portlaoise Sunday so maybe come early. A double header and a very short journey for Kildare fans. Also many Laois people will go to see David Clifford. I know from lads i worked with that said neutrals travelled to see Fossa just to see David. Are you sure it's a double header? I thought it was a standalone fixture. Kildare Roscommon play in Tullamore.

If I go to the side line terrace opposite the stand on Sunday will I be directly facing the sun or will it be behind me?
If it's at my back I could get shade against the wall at the back. Otherwise will head for the stand.

The only game they've been shown on tv for was the Munster final: GAA Go only for Tipp, Mayo and Cork games! Similarly Dublin have only be shown around the same on tv. If you ask me its an obvious attempt to make more money, get the two teams neutrals probably most want to see on the subscription service as much as humanely possible!

If I am right all our games have been live on one channel or other so far. I think with no double headers and the neutral venues etc as well as the synchronized start times there was always going to be losers in terms of what could be televised.

It's hard on lads that burst a gut and put their lives on hold and don't get a minutes playing time. That's why 2014 must have been such a great feeling for the entire panel. 24 players were used in the Mayo replay. Plus Stephen O'brien started the final and Darren O'Sullivan played in the 1/4 final. Therefore all 26 players not just saw action but pretty much saw pivotal action.

The Kerry team that will be announced won’t show any dramatic changes and they will play as they have been and will do enough to win by 5 / 6 points. It has been a great year for Louth and they will want to keep it going and put in a solid performance against the AI champions. I expect them to play very defensively and cause Kerry a few problems, but the forwards will pick off a few points from outside the area of intense defending that will see us through.
A win but nothing spectacular on the field or on the scoreboard.
