Well if thats true bout Roche its a disgrace.I would say Roche s scoring ratio is better than most Kerry forwards but Jacks blinkered thinking messes him up. |

The reality is we have a fairly solid starting 12 or 13, need to see who will step up to starting 15, but 15 Will win you nothing on its own, you need to reach into 16 to 24 or you can forget about SAM.
From what I saw in the championship you could pick from 20, all around the same level.
I would get guys training between now and early Jan, run a few trials to be pick your best, some guys that play well at club can’t bring that to inter county and others the other way round.
I keep the net wide and finalise in Jan.

Ah come on Roche is well off the standard of playing a role in the championship and is now 29. As inside forwards Donal O’Sullivan, David Shaw and Luke Crowley would all be more deserving of a place on the panel. |

Sean O’Connell, Cathal Ryan and Liam Smith mentioned here as called in, all midfielders. That’s good that they’re exploring options for midfield where we are short.

Players no longer willing to put their lives on hold to be squad players that’s the way it’s going once upon a time lads would give up their first born to get a go with Kerry sadly the demands and frustration of modern football are pushing lads in a different direction

Roche certainly had chances,
I don't think he made a particular impression when he did play.
League football in winter isint great for a lad trying to make an impression but I didn't think he stood out.
Watched him in person above in Ballybofey and while he was a good strong target man some of his shooting was hit/miss.
Barry Dan is a loss if that is true as I felt he gave us a bit of bite around the middle.
With the loss of Burke and potentially Barry Dan.
We are weaker now than ever in that middle 8 and that's are major concern.

We have never really explored the option of using him as a target man at 14 either I suppose the fear of god of losing possession if we hit in a high ball to him ! Jack would rather have us handpassing across the pitch People forget that Barry Dan is a vet and does a lot of his work on farms with cattle. Probably the only player we have at physical work. He also likes a bit of hurling and might like to try a bit of that. I also heard travel mentioned |

Sorry lads, but are we a bit illusional, fellas have to start realising that the fellas who will make up 16 to 30 won’t be as good as the guys on the first 15.
Not sure what people expect, but I think we have a huge number that fit into the bench bucket and I would consider likes of roche in that bracket, see no difference between him and Shaw.
So I believe the kerry management not only need to find their best 15, but also their best 16 to 30, that’s the biggest challenge for kerry, I repeat without out that solid 16 to 30, we can forget any all ireland.
Looking at the rumours around guys leaving the panel, the challenge is even bigger than we think.
A guy playing a good match in th county championship does not mean your the man for intercounty, their poles apart.
Kerry management have a lot of work to do and it ain’t in their first 15.

Cian Lynch and Darragh Lyne are surely in as well? Anyone hear who’s going to be replacing Shane Murphy?

I think anyone considering leaving the panel should first wait to see if the new rules are past.
This will radically change the game and we see all the subs being used as the game speeds up.
I wouldn't walk away until I knew how next year will pan out.

Hard to know with Darragh.. I was a fan of his but I don't know if he is upto this level.. again if he got an extended run of games might change our thinking.. same with Barry Dan |

I do think its a disgrace that a player who has done well is discarded without given a proper chance.Now a few more for the road.oh no rush sure tis 12.30am closing tonight. |

According to Tony Leen, provisional National League fixtures include:
Opening game at home to Donegal in Killarney. Probably the opening Sunday with a 1pm throw in if past experiences are anything to go buy.
Other 2 home games are Armagh & Dublin in Tralee under lights.
That would leave Galway, Mayo, Tyrone & Derry away, I imagine 1 or 2 under lights. Mayo usually a Saturday night game and possibly Galway now they have lights in Pearse Stadium.
No dates for games released yet.

Based on today,
Mark OShea should be getting a run in the league.
Keating looks like a real talent but even Tony Brosnan eluded to him staying around after the game.
Evan Looney looks lively aswell.
A young lad OLeary off the bench might have a future aswell 😅😉

Prior to Paddy joining Kerry the reputation of this Kerry team was that we were easy to get at and had a soft centre.
Infairness Paddy deserves credit for making Kerry defensively much better.
I think we have regressed the last two seasons but how much of that is Paddy's fault.
Paddy is not the coach anymore so it wouldn't surprise me if he took the job.
A great opportunity with some brilliant players however something is not right in Derry considering it'd 5 months since they lost their management.
He is very highly thought of and well liked by all accounts.
Paddy is well liked by all the players and he gave Kerry a great deal given the long travel etc.
Hope he stays but if he leaves I'd wish him well.
