Went to 2 club games a few weekends ago, 1 in Cork, 1 in Kerry. Huge levels of skill between Laune Rangers and Fossa. The game in Cork was appalling with zero kick passing and everyone behind the ball. Shocking stuff.. It's the coaches playing not to lose that have ruined the game. Something must be done. I wouldn't be caught at a game involving either of the 2 Cork clubs again. It's sad to see the way the game has gone and the indoctrination of young lads to this constant backward hand passing. At an u 11s 7 a side game recently I heard a coach urging his players to "mind the ball-recycle". We all like to win...but coaches have a duty to the game. It has been around a long time and we should have respect for those that made our games as strong as they are. Paying lads to get 15 behind the ball is becoming the norm at club level. Time for change.

A similar thread to the Project 2025.
Firstly, one has to consider will the likes of Paul Murphy, Stephen O’Brien and Paul Geaney be there in 2025, looking at the club championship Paul Geaney was the standout forward, similar, Paul Murphy, even though I think can be vulnerable and exposed, was not and had a very productive year for us. Both these lads have a role still to play, Stephen owes us nothing, he has been some servant the last decade, I don’t know will be there when the clocks go forward.
Other “fringe” players are at the cut off year, been there, given chances, have flattered or plateaued, these few need to push on.. really push or juct scratch, here I would place Dara Roche, Mike Breen, Michael Burns, Shane Murphy and both Spillane’s.
Keeper wise, Coffey from Beaufort, Fitzgibbon from Kenmare have both impressed me, I always like Devon Burns and had him lined up as my number two, has his transfer scuppered that option.
Defensively, we are gaining a fit again Graham, Gearóid Evans from Keel has impressed me, Charlie Keating from Crokes and Cian Lynch from Killorglin have been consistent. I like the look of Joey Nagle but more so his clubmate Armin Heinrich. The Kenmare centre back McCarthy is a unit but the Fossa number 6, I think O’Sullivan has been impressive. Andrew Moynihan impressed me at full back for club and U20.
We are in trouble in midfield, I would be inclined to have a look at Sean O’Brien, I don’t know what age Mark O’Shea is but think he’s nearer 30 that 20. Darragh Lyne from Legion is raw, Killian Burke, Eddie Healy, Killian Trant, Ruairi Murphy are all names that come to mind…
Up top, Dylan and Conor Geaney should push on, I take it Monahan is gone, again Killian Burke will hopefully be here, others that have impressed me are Donal Down, William Shine Legion, Eoghan Hassett Rangers, Cormac Dillon Duagh, Paddy Lane Stacks and Glenflesk’s Luke Crowley are the few that immediately come to mind…
Others like Thomas Kennedy, Evan Boyle and young Kirby will benefit from another year at U20…

Will the new rules see the return of a big man probing the square? David Shaw in flying form for Dr Crokes.

Jack Savage, Micheal Burns. Surely we can do better than bringing back fellas approaching 30 who have never reached the level required to fully make it |

Both played in the last All Ireland final we won. I think both are way ahead of multiple players on last year's panel and others being suggested also.

Surely we can do better than bringing back fellas approaching 30 who have never reached the level required to fully make it In fairness burns and savage better than most of the bench players in the squad, they both have aquited themselves well when played, no one saying there starters but def have something to offer, along with stack , Kennedy, Brendan’s n MK walsh EK n Kieran’s . |

I would like to see some of the players who have been on panel step up and establish themselves. I’d like for the 2 Clifford’s, Jason Foley & Morley be rested for a good few games of the league and see if the following guys can step up
Dylan Casey & Joey Nagle in full back line
Armin Heinrich at Center back
Keith Evans in half forward line
Dylan Geaney in full forward line
I’d also add Tony Brosnan to this list to show he could be the main scoring forward if god forbid David Clifford gets injured.
I hope that Joe & Diarmaid Connor are fit for the whole league as I think they have something to prove and I think a full league campaign as a partnership would bring them on a lot.
I could be wrong but I don’t think any young players who were not
On panel last year will get a lot of game time in the league. Maybe someone like Luke Crowley as an impact sub

For me the following:
Charlie Keating (Dr.Crokes)
Evan Looney (Dr.Crokes)
Mike Breen (as a starter) (Beaufort)
Luke Crowley (Glenflesk)
Eoghan Hassett (Laune Rangers)
Darragh Lyne (Legion)
Dylan Geaney (as a starter) (Dingle)
Keith Evans (Keel)
Cormac Dillon (Duagh)
Maybe Mark O'Shea (Dr.Crokes) only if Jack Barry doesn't return as we already have 4 midfielders.

without mentioning any particular players but it bugs me to see people going on about this lad and that lad and like its the biggest injustice ever that he isnt on the team. several lads mentioned here, are nowhere near good enough yet keep getting named.
the reality is, the best players are being selected to play for Kerry and no matter who is picking the team, its going to be 90% the same lads. the remaining differences are lads who may get the nod anyway like 3 or 4 graduations off the 20s team.

I'd agree with the majority of the above. Think Evan Looney is a seriously good player, maybe a bit small for inter-county level at the moment, but he has a lot going for him. He's very good on the ball, has good awareness and he's very brave. Think Mark Ó Shea is a very solid midfielder, one of the Crokes go-to-guys and so very important to them. Would like to see him tried in the league to see if he can be as important to Kerry, hopefully he can |

Being part of the intercounty setup and having the intercounty training programme will help this. Evan is a good all-round sportsman, also captained Killarney Celtic to the FAI Youth Cup a few years ago if I'm not mistaken. I think he can be a very good addition to the panel. |

Hard to disagree with you, I think the best 30 odd players within the county club scene are in with Kerry, I think the prime example is Paul Geaney, arguably the best forward in his clubs run to the senior club final, yet, most are writing him off at county level. I cannot name one club player that I think isn't inside - the majority of players being mentioned here are for panel evolution and freshening. What is frustrating is players like Monahan and Burke if unavailable... that's what is jawing me. |

I think he will this time around. It's pretty evident were in need of some strength in midfield in particular. Unfortunately David Moran still hasn't been replaced. |

Every squad needs to have a few young players coming in every year and hopefully that will happen in the league.
The thing is that it is not a players issue that Kerry has, so if people are hoping that Jack changes, it is in the area of attitude, confidence and team preparation that we need the change.
David got 2 pts from play against Armagh in an unimpressive performance. Its not a question of using the league to unearth a replacement for him, it is a question of sending him and the whole team out with a different attitude. That is the change we want to see in Jack. As mentioned above, the mettle of the new back room team will be tested.

As mentioned above, the mettle of the new back room team will be tested. I’d agree with a lot of this but 1 thing I would add to it is that David Clifford is going to have bad games and every team is going to try and mark him out of it. I think Kerry need to learn how to win games without him and that’s where I think Kerry need to improve. Just look at the Monaghan game in the league, he was summoned from the bench before half time. There are good players in this Kerry team who need to step up and show that they can be leaders and right now I think they are leaning on Clifford to win games for them and when it’s not going right there is no effective Plan B. |

Very impressed with cordal Sean o Connell at midfield I believe jack should try him out in the league. Very strong in the air and well able to kick a point. Won clubber man of the match for Kieran’s 2 times during their outing getting the better of st Brendan’s And Kerry’s Joe O Connor In One Of The Games
Has anyone else seen him play? Was A Kerry U17 Captain In 2017

It’s a done deal from what I’ve heard. Going over shortly and will be back at Christmas for a family wedding. Moving permanently then in the new year and signing with Geelong. |
