Still nothing on the official GAA website about the exact dates & times for this one, only 11 days out. Not good enough!
Its a fair poke to Navan with no train links, people needing to make plans on a Bank Holiday. Whats the logic on not having the times set for these? RTE know the draw and should know their picks for all 3 group games with respect to the hurling fixtures aswell. Becoming as bad as the Premier League now for lack of consideration for supporters.
Wonder will we see much change at all in this game? I hope there is some rotation at least, we should be able to account for Meath while giving more exposure to the likes of Burke the next day.
Geaney has slotted back and we all know what he can do, would like to see Killian Spillane from the start. His Kerry career has stalled somewhat so time for him to get a crack to show he can continue to be relied on. Was strange he got no mins at all on Saturday, wondering if he is not fully fit or something?

Navan is only half and hour from me here but we all have other stuff going on , working around family etc on a bank holiday weekend. Too much respect given to TV & corporate GAA and feck all to the ordinary punter.

That is the big problem with the current system for me. The biggest industries in Kerry are farming, tourism and hospitality and they are busiest in summer. I'm involved in all 3 and unfortunately not based in the kingdom but west Waterford. It means I need to know a couple of weeks in advance what date the matches are to get a day off. Especially during the busy season. The GAA seem to think we all live and work in offices in Dublin and get every weekend off to travel the length and breadth of the country with the smallest of notices. The way i"m scheduled now I'm working both days, but I could swap with a colleague if only the GAA would be able to organise things properly for once.

Lads, what's Grahams story? I'm hese8ng a lot of talk but as nothing is confirmed by the media or in official statements, I take it what is circulating is only 'talk' He was back in contention to face Monaghan following his groin injury but seemingly he picked up a different knock in training. Minor in nature is the word fingers crossed. Less than ideal to be picking up injuries at this stage of proceedings.

I think this game hinges on what happens in the Meath v Louth match this Saturday.
If Meath win, we'll see another non event. Meath won't spend energy on us, They'll hold off and try get something out of the Monaghan match.
If Meath lose to Louth, you'd hope they'll have a go at us.
Saturday will tell us much

May struggle to make Meath game.

It has been some time since the GAA gave any consideration to supporters or could be accused of having respect for supporters or their opinion. I assume some day next week will be deemed suitable to let people know which day the game will be in and maybe even the time if we’re lucky…..

The GAA.ie website is still stating game to be played between 1st -2nd June. Surely the decision is made and it’s a matter of communicating but perhaps just not bothered etc.

Seems to be the last couple of Tuesdays when the GAA are releasing fixtures, obviously today is Tuesday and still no sign but I would expect tomorrow. My feeling is a Saturday evening throw in but I don't think it will be televised as there are 3/4 more attractive fixtures for GAAGO to pick their 2 from and possibly another on RTE.

Jack is very fond of Paul in the corner lately so they have a decision to make there . Would Murphy be better coming off the bench late in games or starting only jack knows As for the forwards I can’t see any changes the next day unless there is any injuries.

Also looks like Mike Breen is down the pecking order as Heinrich came in the last day looks like he is just making up the numbers now cause if anyone needs game time he does. Not good enough I guess.

Meath play this weekend so I'd say it'll be Sunday to give them the extra day considering we'll have had 2 weeks. I see your point and while it makes sense, the round of fixtures for June 1st/2nd contains 1 team who played on May 18/19 vs another team who played on May 25/26. So basically every fixture will have 1 team with a 1 week turnaround. It is possible that Kerry play on the Sunday but there will also be some games played on the Saturday, GAAGO usually have their live games on the Saturday.

Would Murphy be better coming off the bench late in games or starting only jack knows As for the forwards I can’t see any changes the next day unless there is any injuries. Hey Chicago09, yes good headaches to have, I wouldn’t pay much heed to who was introduced against Monaghan, the truth be told everyone in Killarney knew the game was done after twenty minutes, as disappointing as it was, it looked obvious in hindsight that Monaghan were set out in a damage limitation mindset and formation, with maybe their sights on Louth and Meath for the second placed slot. With regard to Mike Breen, for me he is still the second-choice centre back should Tadgh be unavailable or housed somewhere else, regardless he is number eight on my one to ten backs on the panel. While we are talking about Heinrich, jez he has bulked, I saw a lot of him underage with The Rock and with minors and U20, but he looks fair imposing when I saw him warm up in front of me, in full flight he would be a powerful asset. But back to your main question, like Tom, Foley, Tadgh and Gavin, a fit Graham is a definite starter for me. His form in 2022 was outstanding and apart from Walsh and Clifford he was next in line for MOTM, this form has returned, and he was the most consistent defender in our league run. For me, Murphy falls out, and this is no disrespect to the Rathmore man, his physique will be exploited by a more physical or larger corner forward, in particular the advanced mark. My back six is Graham, Jason, Tom, Brión, Tadgh and Gavin, the primary strength here is the three of Tom, Graham and Brión are interchangeable with neither line losing quality or quantity. Whether it’s a straightforward or a horses for courses scenario, this sextet are the most suitable and leaves you room to spring Murphy, Breen and Heinrich from the bench as fresh legs or as required.

I am in agreement with you regarding our back 6 - Murphy has been targeted particularly by the Dubs irrespective of the position he plays. We need that 6 & Briain & Graham are must haves - in ‘22 when we defeated Dublin & Galway ( semi final & final) Briain was immense - sorely missed last year - always recall his running to take the final kick out from Ryan that led to the Seanie winner - must have made 4/5 runs to eventually evade his marker & that was not easy against the Dubs. Graham has been our best performer to date in the league - once fit, he starts.

It's looks to me as if Jack is trying to keep all the bench happy by giving them a run out, maybe this is because one or two players have pulled out of the panel due to the lack of game time, I would guess we will see different subs coming on in the next game or 2.

I think it’s between Paul Murphy and Gavin White when it comes to who loses out for Graham. Everything has been said about Murphy (playing very well but may struggle for size later on) but it hasn’t been mentioned that White has struggled for form this year. He has struggled to get a handle on his direct opponent in our last 2 games, Dermot Coughlan against Clare and Michael Bannigan against Monaghan. He’s also been guilty of a lot of poor turnovers this year and in last year’s All Ireland final. At his best he’s a great asset but on current form could his pace be more effective coming on with 20 minutes to go?
