the turnover of players at 17-20 continues to be a monumental concern and a problem. with population issues all over the county, this has to be sorted as its not sustainable, we are simply losing too many players. Would be interesting to see what % of (relatively poor) Dublin minors came through to become all-ireland winners in comparison to the same time period of our winning minor run that time?

Who is likely to partner Rob Stack at centre field? Kirby most likely

Would rate Evan Boyle streets ahead of Kirby. I’d agree, Evan has more potential. He’s only 18 this year though which would be young to play midfield at this level. Maybe he has filled out enough but I think he’s had a lot of injuries in recent months so hope he’s fit to play some part at least.

Ya, I have seen a lot of Evan from underage in NK, he was earmarked early doors, agree that he is only 18 this year but still he has that cut about him. I take it all the U20 players are pulled from league action this weekend?

The player I'm looking forward to seeing the Most is Cian Lynch. Really think it's in with Kerry seniors he should be especially with Jason in trouble and our lack of cover. Also intrigued to see Luke Crowley paddy lane and Rob stack.

Dublins underage structure is very very poor! but like us for 20 years without winning a minor, they dont need to be strong- they only need 1 or 2 players coming in every year and thats what theyve been doing to keep their squad topped up. population wise, Dublin can afford 95% of their young players not to make it. we need it to be around 30% success rate now

Only 3 of minor starting 15 2021 in starting 15 (apologies If counted wrong)...
Its a huge turnover of players.
Then 5 or 6 more lads either involved now or was on bench then etc

Had huge confidence in Tomas when he got the u 20 job but not after seeing that team tonight is he that disconnected with both club and colleges football in the county and who is advising him ?The spine of the team is made up of a college team that was demolished by omagh cbs u19 in the colleges final we are playing a bunch of midfielders across the half forward line we have 4 starters from last years mediocre minor team there are a number of quality players from the club and colleges scene who are not involved .However they will win easily against a poor Clare team tomorrow night and will prob win Munster but after that we pray for a bit of luck or as the saying goes hope springs eternal but best of luck to all tomorrow night and for the campaign ahead as they say down here in south Kerry when it comes to football we are still Kerry

The look of the team is not over inspiring, but I think it’s a round robin group type scenario, so we will have 3 games , with top 2 in a final, you would assume that will be cork and Kerry. So I would be playing my best team all the way, so they become a team, but maybe this is their best team.
But as another said it be hard to see past Tyrone after schools demolition job and winners previous year as well.

Very young team. However, they are all quality players with potential. I'm more interested in the style of play. I hope they will play adventurous football and move the ball quickly.

So they named a panel last week and a shorter panel yesterday? Meaning that some half dozen players or so were stopped playing with their clubs for no reason at the weekend. That makes alot of sense, especially when some clubs are desperately struggling for numbers. It will be interesting to see how this goes, they have been training together for long enough now

To the lads saying the team/bench looks poor - are there players that ye think should be in or out? Genuine question. Wouldn't pretend to be any authority myself but from the players I do know, it seems decent enough.

Wouldn't pretend to be any authority myself but from the players I do know, it seems decent enough. I agree, there would appear to be a half defeatist attitude before a ball is even thrown in, I agree this team is on the young side, but having seen a fair few of them at club and underage level, there is talent there. Like another posted said, its more the play and set up as well as our shape I am probably most interested in.. but I would hold off on the post mortems until the final whistle....

It will be interesting to see how this goes, they have been training together for long enough now sure that is normal enough - once you are picked for a panel, you are treated the same if you are #1 or #36. i know of a player who played for club and school 2 weeks ago and got injured and missed out on playing championship last week, because of it. given how pitches are, how poor the weather is, injuries are too common

The lads in the full forward line must all be hot shots considering that Paddy Lane is unable to command a place. Cormac Dillon was a good minor two years ago.
Good to see Luke Crowley on the panel.
Clare gave us a bellyful in Tralee last year. Not sure how strong they are this year. Clare underage teams tend to give a good account of themselves , especially when playing in West Clare. Could be a good contest.

Rob Stack, the great grandson of Ballybunion's legendary Bob Stack. A century on Rob is emulating Bob by taking his place in a Kerry midfield.
Bob Stack and Con Brosnan formed the most formidable midfield partnership of their era - winning 6 All Ireland's and Kerry's first four in a row between 1925-1932. Bob was born in Brooklyn, his family only returned to Kerry when he was a teenager and he only took up football around the age of 17. He always described himself as an American and used cry when the Star Spangled Banner was played when Kerry faced New York in their famous tours of the US in that era.
Something special about the history and heritage that flows through Kerry GAA all the same.

Let see what they can do sure our great five in a row minors didn’t have much success at u20 so you never know. One thing about having three games on the trot is our underage teams always get better the more they play. Also wasn’t there two of Con Brosnan’s grandkids playing for Tralee cbs this year wonder are they any good.

The 2020 team looked very promising to me at this grade. However events derailed their progress. By the time the season resumed they were understrength for the semi-final.
