As ever, GAA have us guessing when and where we are playing out next opponents. We do know its Louth at least, threw one away against Monaghan yesterday but big physical team with a few shooters dusted around the forwards.
Will be set up well by one of our arch nemesis from the last decade, Ger Brennan.

No reason they couldn't have released the fixtures for the Sam Maguire while they were at it. Disappointing again. |

Sam Mulroy is a serious operator, although if my memory is correct, Foley kept him quiet twelve months ago in Portloaise. I would expect the same venue again, whether it is a Saturday or Sunday fixture is the only question. Agree on your points thought, physical team with a few shooters dusted around the forwards. |

If memory serves me I think Louth kicked a fair few wides last year.
This will be a far tougher test as Louth will want to make amends for last year's showing.
It was this fixture last year that ignited Kerrys season.

It was this fixture last year that ignited Kerrys season. It was but even in that one there was more at stake for us. Had to win to guarantee a home prelim and win big to have a shot at topping the group, which is what ended up happening. We also had come of the embarrassment of losing our home record to Mayo and scraping past Cork with a controversial peno / black card call. |

I presume this will be played in portloaise again? Expect a better test from Louth than last year but, kerry should still be 7/8+ winners.

Portlaoise will be sold out as double header with hurling. Laois v Cork or Wexford

Interestingly, Dublin being brought to Dr. Hyde Park for the Mayo game. That could be feisty.

Can’t agree with that. Mayo are well off the standard, I’d back 5/6 teams to beat them. Also with it not being knockout neither team will probably go for it with the intensity of if it was do or die. |

A cursory look at old records would suggest that this is the first time that Dublin will play a championship game in Connacht. They have only ever played a handful of championship games outside of Leinster, 2 in Tralee 1934 and 1941, 1 in Tipp 1907 and Thurles 1908. They played 2 replays, 1 in Thurles 2001 (Maurice's point) and Cork 1983. I'm sure there may be 1 or 2 more. |

I presume Kerry have never played a championship game in Connaught.I know we ve played in Ulster v Monaghan and obviously Leinster with Croke park Portlaoise Navan and Longford We played Westmeath in Mullingar and Antrim in Tullamore. I cannot recall an excursion to Connaught. |

I am not sure of the following. In the recesses of my mind I have a vague memory of travelling to Longford on a wet , miserable Saturday evening to play Longford. Kieran Donaghy was put off? We were struggling badly at midfield until Michael Quirke came on and turned the game for us. Has anybody any recall of that match or is my memory playing tricks with me?

The point I was making was that after a lot of talk about Dublin always having home games they now go to a place that they have probably only gone once in the history of the association to play a championship game that is effectively a play off to avoid a preliminary quarter final.
Before the first modernisation of Croke Park championship games were played in rural towns but even back then Dublin usually got home advantage with games in places like Inchicore and Donnybrook.

Dublin team: S Cluxton; B Cahill, P Christie, C Goggins; P Casey, D Magee, P Griffin; J Magee, C Whelan; D Lally, B Cullen, S Connell; A Brogan, J Sherlock, T Quinn.
Subs used: I Robertson for Lally (15 mins), D Farrell for Quinn (53 mins), R Cosgrove for Sherlock (63 mins), D O’Mahony for D Magee (68 mins), S Ryan for J Magee (70 mins)

What are we thinking folks re team selection for the Louth game,will Jack default to the tried and tested to ensure we top the group, or will he give more of the panel some game time, or as a minimum run the team from last week.
What we thinking?

It's hard to see Louth playing any different to how Meath and Monaghan approached the game especially have experienced some success Vs Dublin with that massed defence and counter attack style.
I'd expect to see a similar lineup to last Sunday, with maybe Dara Moynihan returning for Cillian Burke, maybe Killian Spillane for Paul Geaney and you might see Morley back in maybe for Casey and Brian dropping back to Corner Back, with Mike Breen moving to wing back.
Plenty of ball players, guys who will be cool in possession and won't get turned over for Louth to counter. It'll be a hard slog to watch once again I'd say. But it's all part of the journey. Things start to get lively from here out.

We were struggling badly at midfield until Michael Quirke came on and turned the game for us. Has anybody any recall of that match or is my memory playing tricks with me? I just googled that game and you were close enough Vet.Donaghy did go off but it was injury.We won by 4 points 1-12 to 11 points.We were up 1-10 to 2pts and half time score was 1-10 to 4pts.We only scored 2 pts in second half while Longford scored 7 pts.That was after our lucky escape v Sligo and then we beat Antrim destroy Dubs and beat Meath and Cork to win All Ireland. The Longford game was first. If you think the fixture lists are less than ideal now, we hadn't had a game for a month at that stage. We would then play 4 weeks in a row, followed by 4 weeks of a wait for both the S/F and the AI final. The game was played on a horrendous weekend of weather. Gales and driving rain. It wasn't pretty but Tommy Walsh stood up well for us. Longford missed a few late chances to really put us in trouble. We were happy to get out of there. |

Jack will be very pleased that the team now has a very settled look about it .Knowing Jack the more experienced players Murphy Morley and Moynihan will return for the bigger knockout games.Unfortunately it appears that my fellow South Kerry man Graham O Sullivan will be out for another while but overall I like the way the team is starting to gel and is coming together at the right time unlike teams like Derry who have regressed since the league final .The attack minded players approach Jack has implemented will in my mind have us very close to securing another all Ireland I am not fully convinced on Dublin and we might hopefully and possibly edge them in a high scoring classic and repeat our win over them of 22 but that is down the road a bit let’s get over Louth first

Graham was on the pitch the last day, involved in helping with the warm up. id say he isnt far off???
one thing is for sure, this is going to be one hell of an all ireland to win and we are looking at a 1/4 final(assuming we win against Louth) against Armagh/Galway, Dublin/Mayo or Tyrone/Donegal .
losing to louth and you could be adding a home game against Derry in there in prelim 1/4 final to make it even more treacherous.
any team to win this all ireland, will probably need to beat one of Galway/Armagh, Donegal/Mayo and Kerry/Dublin at some stage (all depends on draw of course)
