Kerry GAA discussion thread #2

Hopefully the Dubs might stop all their whinging (highly doubtful) about this incident now it's been dealt with and Crowley given a well deserved suspension. Some of the things said about him on this website and other places were OTT. Thankfully he just accepted his punishment.

If you find some kind soul willing to swap with you, yes. Able to swap through the gaa/croke park, no.

Not much of a surprise - Tommy Walsh unlikely to make the same impact if he started, though might be best to bring him on at HT. Killian Spillane a little unlucky not to start.

You are assuming this is the starting 15.
It 100% will not be.

While I agree with you about the starting 15. I'd also be 100% confident Tommy wont start

I’d agree but think Killian Spillane may be a possibility to start as he would have the legs for 60mins with James O Donoghue available for last 10/15mins if needed. If James is not available Killian may be held in reserve. No point in having both of them in reserve.

Great performance again from the young lads. Up against greatest a great team. Future is bright! Heads up

dobman88

Still in croke park. Just want to say. We will have some craic following this Kerry team. Fair play to dublin. I doubt we will ever witness this again. Just glad they had to work for it. Up the kingdom.

Unfortunately I believe you are right.:-)

I think this Kerry team will be the next dominant force in gaelic football.

Also Sean O Shea, class for both games, some man for his age.

Not a kerry man but think you guys need to change how you choose your captain. Seeing your captain cut from the team can't do anything for your confidence.

DDC1990

Proud of the lads.

Better team won. Missed too many chances.

Good experience for some of the younger lads to play 2 All Ireland Finals

Not much else to say.

It's makes no difference, we expect the leaders to stand up. I think most players would consider Moran the defacto captain. However we really missed Peter Crowley in defence all year long. For the last few years he has organised the defence

However having said that Dublin were too strong for us today. Worthy champion's and entitled to there 5 in a row. The persistence with older players for the last two years has stymied our development. Having said that it was a tremendous performance both days by young lads. We could have suffered a hiding today but steadied the ship before half time. The goal and point after half time stymied us. Next year's another year. 1-2 years will make a big difference to this team. We need another midfielder to come through the system in the next year

Mr. Incognito

27 percent shooting in the second half. Says it all really. Lots of chances missed.

Very very proud of the team. Hopefully a good turn out for them tomorrow. Our day will come

1st half of first game must have been similar percentage

78 percent in the first half. I dont know what game you were watching

Buddy97mm

Good performance but goal at start of second half was a killer and never fully recovered. Lot of bad option taking in second half, poor shot choices by a number of players, but Dublin deserved it on day. Nice to see some real emotion from Dublin players at end of game.

Poor_old_gill

Captain thing is a farce and has been for years but that’s for another day.

We just have too many players who can’t kick a point from 25 yards out.

I’ve said it before and will say again- we need Barry John Keane to come off the bench there- bench offered little. Tommy did well with the ball in but we’d no one off him, killian was well swallowed up, JOD didn’t get a touch.

Starting diarmuid was a massive surprise and really didn’t work but he’ll have better days as he’s a top talent.

We needed to be clinical to have a chance and some of our wides in the second half were criminal.

Sean o shea and Clifford- they’re some boyos, Christ almighty they are superstars with balls of steel.
Geaney kept plugging away and did well I thought.

Simple thing is we were beaten by a better team

Soulsun

As a dub Fair play to this Kerry team for putting on two excellence performances.
Hold your heads up high it’s was fanstastic to watch and both sets of fans were very well behaved too.

PressRun

Geaney had a terrific game, I thought. That catch in the second half deserved a better end product.

Clifford is some talent. Absolutely the real deal. Has it all.

Really? First half of the first game was that high? My apologies then. Felt lower!

Maybe you missed that I was talking about the first game.

78% first half 27% second half.

Not good enough to beat the best team of all time.

ebbsy

I would liked to have seen Spillane on earlier ?

Forge83

Well done to a great Kerry team who will win us many titles in the coming years.
Well done to a great Dublin team winning 5 in a row.

Felt our team set up was very negative with both Adrian Spillane and Diarmuid O Connor playing mainly defensively. Would have preferred to start with Walsh and K Spillane and in hindsight might have been a better option.
David Moran was very poor today turning over the ball for the goal when an easy catch was on and kicking 3 wides.Unfortunately we need David at 100% ability to challenge this Dublin team. Just not to be today.

Book the work holidays for All Ireland final next year as Kerry will be there.

conor05

David Moran very poor in the second half.

He hit some terrible wides when he should have worked the ball until we got our 3 shooters DC, P.G. or SOS on the ball.

Caught bad for Murchan goal too.

But listen it is easy to criticize from the stand, I am so proud of David and the whole panel.

We will be back, but it requires some cute work and a few hardier lads. We are still Too nice of a team
