Rumours of others also!

One NK man in particular has a lot to answer for.
But best of luck to the lad himself.

Heading to Carlton. huge loss to the under 20 team in 2024, I wonder was he really an option for the seniors in 2024 though? On the round, disappointing for kerry football but best of luck to him He will be missed in Ardfert football and Kilmoyley hurling Rob played minor and under 20 hurling with Kerry too

Heard it more than once in the last few days that some members of the team may take a break in the earlier rounds of the County Championship. Will play in the Club Championship but won't be available for the early stages of the Championship for their divisional team. It has been mentioned on this forum about players taking a break I dont blame them and I wouldnt be surprised if it is true no other county asks players from their senior county panels to play 2 round robin championships for their club\division This could be the beginning of a trend

A half forward who started a handful of games and wouldn’t lace the boots of Dec, Galvin or Donnacha stealing all the attention for himself? Self centred nonsense

Kerry hit by the Aussies more than any other county unfortunately. that last line is not true, at all. who else apart from Mark O Connor has hit us in the last 10 years? Stefan went and was back quickly. who else? Galway, Mayo and loads others have the same amount of players out there as us. then others simply dont get targetted as well, they dont produce the players like those counties do

I don't know if many of ye will agree or not but I think there is a big problem in with our strength and depth at half forward. It was reinforced in the all Ireland final when the Dublin midfield and half backs made hay. With Seanie on the 40 you have a top 10 player in Ireland happy days but out on the wings it is not ideal. Stephen o Brian has another year max. Dara Moynihan isn't much of a force. Spillane is a nice option for his workrate and running around the middle but is a fairly limited footballer. Micheal burns has been nowhere close to starting for his tenure in the team. The fact that burns has been existing on the bench with no threat of starting is a bad sign of other half forwards in the county that there is nobody there to be able to push him out of the squad and put pressure on the other lads for a starting spot. Ruairi Murphy is making a small staking to be the next man to try his hand there but he could do with some proper game time if we are to see what he can do for us. Is there anyone else in the county that can come in and do a better job or is this our lot?

Shine is a skilful scorer which isn’t the type of player they look for while Lyne is 23 and has never gotten major attention from down under. Cillian Burke was also mentioned in the article, I do think there’s a chance of him being offered a contract. I wouldn’t say it’s very likely but I wouldn’t rule it out.

What has Tadhg Kennelly got to do with any of this. These clubs have highly sophisticated global scouting networks. They don't rely on 1 guy who is not even based in Ireland to inform their decisions.

More than likely not just him but I would say he'd tell clubs etc what Irish players to look out for and others would make the call. Kerry seems to be losing a lot more than others however.

Can that article be posted here. I’ve gone over my examiner quota for the week 😅 Kerry dual player Rob Monahan set to join Melbourne AFL club Carlton Monahan, who plays football with Ardfert and hurling with Kilmoyley, is set to head to Australia in late October or early November. Kerry dual player Rob Monahan set to join Melbourne AFL club Carlton AUSSIE RULESl Rob Monahan of Kerry in action. Photo by Tom Beary/Sportsfile MON, 14 AUG, 2023 - 17:06 MURT MURPHY Social share One of Kerry’s most precocious dual players Rob Monahan is on the cusp of signing a two year contract with Melbourne AFL club Carlton. Monahan, who plays football with Ardfert and hurling with Kilmoyley, is set to head Down Under in late October or early November to join up with his new teammates in the Australian Football League. Monahan was a member of Tomas O Se’s Kerry U-20 squad this year and he was also wanted by the Kerry U-20 Hurling management as he is an accomplished hurler with Kilmoyley. He would also be viewed a certainty to get a call up to the Kerry senior squad as he is a midfielder/wing forward which are two areas that Jack O’Connor needs to bolster. Monahan played with Ardfert on Saturday night in the Kerry Junior Premier club championship, which his side lost narrowly to Firies, while he also played with Kilmoyley in senior hurling championship but they lost out in the semi-final to eventual winners Crotta O’Neills. The dual star was a huge performer for Mercy Mounthawk in the Corn Ui Mhuiri over the past two seasons and is currently awaiting the results of his Leaving Cert exams. In recent time he was in Dublin on four occasions being assessed at AFL kicking sessions and went through various tests that included, running, vertical jump, 20-metre spring, agility test and 2km time trial. AUSSIE RULES: Mercy Mounthawk's Rob Monahan and Daniel Kirby with St. Brendan's Cian Lynch and Timmy Moynihan go for the ball. Photo: Don MacMonagle AUSSIE RULES: Mercy Mounthawk's Rob Monahan and Daniel Kirby with St. Brendan's Cian Lynch and Timmy Moynihan go for the ball. Photo: Don MacMonagle It is believed he impressed the Carton Blues with his athleticism, kicking ability with both feet and his overall interest in the AFL. He traveled from Kerry during the summer months before his final trial took place two weeks ago at the beginning of August, after which the offer of a two year contract was put on the table before him. While Monahan was not available for comment, sources within the Ardfert club indicated that Rob may travel to Melbourne in September for two weeks to sign the contract and to see the club facilities before he makes the move in either October or November to pursue a professional career in AFL. Should he complete the move, he will join 11 other Irish players currently playing in the AFL which include former Kerry minor star Mark O’Connor. It is also known that three other Kerry players have attracted the interest of AFL scouts, and they include Cillian Burke (Milltown/Castlemaine), Will Shine (Killarney Legion) and Darragh Lyne (Killarney Legion). As of yet there are no indications that any of the three wish to travel to Australia nor have they been offered a contract.

I'm not sure Rob Monahan, or anyone here thinks that he'll make it through to the Kerry senior team next year. He'd have to be putting in spectacular performances to push an established player out of the team.
