Right. Best to move on from that quarter final. Hopefully a clean bill of health in the squad and we can get through to the final. I had a quick look at Armagh's team V Roscommon and they are a bit of an unknown quantity for me. Ulster football isn't the most enticing way to spend an afternoon.
I cant see us changing 1 to 9. I think maybe Paul Geaney is the only one who's position is under threat. Maybe Dara Moynihan too for Adrian S if a bit more bulk required but Jack seems to prefer Dara starting.
Hopefully we'll get a decent Kerry crowd travelling as you can be sure Armagh will be there and noisy.

Graham mustn’t be fully fit yet, otherwise we’d have seen him for 10-15 mins today. Hopefully he’ll be available for the Armagh game off the bench. I think the team will most likely be the same as today. Cillian Burke played very well when he came in and I think he’ll be used in that impact role again. Surprised that it was Dylan Geaney and not Stephen O’Brien that came on on the other wing. Good to see a bit of new blood. Paul Geaney could be under pressure to start alright though. Dara M or Tony B could be shifted into a roving corner forward role with Adrian Spillane or Burke coming onto the wing but unlikely in my mind. Hopefully we’ll be able to get the Cliffords and Seanie on the ball more in scoring positions.

I don't think he'd be listed as a sub if he wasn't able to play. SOB still has a role to play but maybe a Derry side wouldn't suit his style.

SOB played very well against Derry last year when he came on.

I would think Graham is ok - watched him in the warm up & he took a full part.

Tony is a creative player who can set up attacks with the skilful full forward players. Dylan Geaney is a very similar player. SOB brings something different like picking up a turnover in the full back line. The substitute was like for like.

Tony has improved that side of his game and had two turnovers in the second half in our own 45. I was impressed with him today

My concern for the semi is that it will be the same as the qtr final. Hopefully we’ll see more of a 2nd half performance from Kerry,

Tony did well apart from one over hit pass. He is accurate when shooting and has an ability to make space with a jink or dummy step. Well worth his place this year and he has improved his work rate.

Tony B has to be marked tight out to the 45.

On Tony Brosnan it was very obvious today that he was targeted by Derry to stop his influence. It tells us that other teams rate him.

He's about 6 feet 3 but he's quite bulky for his age. His people are butchers so he didnt lack for protein growing up.

There's actually lots of research on that - the connection between nutrition and height - that's why the Dutch are so tall. He's a great asset to have. Another headache for opposition. Also he should be good for kickouts.

At this stage, I suspect no change to the starting 15. We got an impact today from the bench and we will need this again. P Geaney and Moynihan are the two under most threat but will hold on.
The fact that Breen came on towards the end must mean Graham was not right today either

Either Kerry or Donegal supporters will be left with a late Saturday evening 3½ / 4 hour trek home from which ever Semifinal gets this slot Not being pedantic but if you are from Clifden, Leitir Mór or Oileain Arann you will have that and more if Galway are playing on the Saturday. The victory last Saturday made the journey back a lot shorter mind you.

Anybody who was at the game yesterday would’ve seen the serious amount of runs Paul Geaney made off his man without getting the ball, which as a fan was annoying and must be frustrating for Paul. I thought he looked sharp right up to his shot that dropped short with his left. So for me I think Paul starting for 50 odd minutes and Killian Spillane coming in then is fine.
Equally I can’t see why people would call for Brosnan to be dropped. 1 overcooked kick over the line which I thought was partially Begleys fault, he was good. And the key thing is that on top of his work rate and speed, he’s a scoring threat. 2 good points and on another day he could have had a couple more. He’s well worth his place on form and I honestly wasn’t sure how he would fare. Seeing Cillian Burke’s impact and how willing he was to take on his man at pace, which causes terror to opponents, made me long for us to go with the progressive selection and not the conservative approach. Armagh are a team that try to play like Derry but I feel they will be slightly easier to play against in one sense even though they offer more of a threat than Derry up front overall.

Armagh have the shortest spin and train trip. Is it lunchtime today when we get details of the times and dates?

There's actually lots of research on that - the connection between nutrition and height - that's why the Dutch are so tall. There are some theories that the reason the Dutch grew so tall wasn't the protein in the Meat or the dairy products that they had ready access to but the growth hormones present in the Meat and the dairy products.

The Dutch had one of the smallest average heights in the 1800's but are now among the tallest. Fair play to them for turning it around.
Now on to another similar coloured team. I wonder will Donaghy suggest some air attacks on our full back line. Armagh in the 00's were great at these tactics and they did it as well when chasing the game V Galway in '22.
You need goals to beat this Kerry team and I think Armagh will need 2 of them.

Have we learnt nothing from the last 10 years of the Dubs and even yesterday - finishing strong is critically important and impact subs are nearly more important than starting strong.
Who gives more impact off the bench is as important a question in game management as who should be starting. It really is a squad game.
