Kerry GAA Discussion Thread Mod Warning Post #4167

i imagine its just a case of going up geting the season ticket scanned and going home again next week

i cant see where we would have improved enough to trouble ye even like we did two years ago , for us its the worst possible draw , kerry will want to lay down a marker for the dubs in the semi , while we will be on our 4th game in as many weeks it probably is not ideal for ye as reguards semi final preparations go

mystic86 · 24-07-2016 12:04am

Clare will not be ideal prep for the Dublin game.

It hasn't bothered Kerry teams in the past. And Dublin have just breezed their way through another ridiculously easy Leinster Championship (they might get a tough quarter final though).

Kerry will beat Clare comfortably though that's a certainty. I feel a bit sorry for Clare because they've been on a great run and surely would have wanted to play absolutely anyone but Kerry at this stage. I'd have given them a decent chance against Galway but not a hope against Kerry.

agree if it was derry or roscommon for some reason it would be a far more competitive match despite kerry would beat either side by the same margin , its just the nature of the football championship at the moment kerry dublin and maybe one or two more are just too far ahead of everyone else

A lot was made of Dublin's tough SF v Mayo last year and how it helped them.

Kerry on the other hand breezed past Kildare and handled Tyrone without much fuss.

This year they will have Clare, Tipp, Clare before they meet Dublin.
Leinster is bad too but Dublin will of one of Cork, Donegal, Mayo before they possibly meet Kerry.

The league final exposed Kerry as being old and slow.
Without the benefit of a tougher challenge they will be unable to find out if anything they change can make a big difference.

I don't remember it that way, I was that game too. Tyrone provided a very tough test for kerry imo. Wrapped up star etc. It was close towards the end. I understand that you may think that Tyrone are overestimated by some, possibility the most overestimated team in the country, but I wouldn't agree

Under estimate Tyrone at your peril, I think we will have new All-Ireland champions this year, Tyrone are the most likely and I can see Dublin getting turned over if they meet a tough test and there is a fair and unbiased referee on the day.

wonga77 · 25-07-2016 10:18am

Yep id agree, I think its gonna take a very good team to beat Tyrone

Nidgeweasel · 25-07-2016 11:35am

Mayo will beat Tyrone imo.

keane2097 · 25-07-2016 11:38am

Agree. Tyrone are being blown up enormously everywhere - don't get it.

I dont get all the hype the national media make of the Ulster Championship,its very average but the media make a big thing out of it every year

Realistically there's Donegal, Kerry, Dublin and Mayo as top teams. Tyrone had a good go at kerry last year and have beaten Donegal this year.
They have a manager that has delivered three AIs that's more than the Donegal, Mayo and Kerry Managers combined.
Dublin are down two all stars and the current player of the year. Donegal and Mayo aren't as good as they were last year imo, Kerry are one year older.

I'm not saying that they are fantastic, but most the other teams have dropped off. They certainly deserve to be taken seriously, otherwise don't take Donegal or Mayo seriously either IMO. Tyrone are the Ulster Champions, they've shown improvement on last year.

Tyrone and Galway are on the up, I guess people will talk them up. Tyrone are being spoken about with hope because people think that MH can out fox the Dublin set up, getting past Mayo will be difficult for them. Based on last year's form I'd have Mayo winning that game too, but Mayo were the second best team last year IMO. All the signs are there from Tyrone though, they are moving in the right direction and the other top three or four aren't.

Donegal are nowhere near the other three IMO, which is what raises question marks over Tyrone's form line.

They are maybe as good as Mayo if Mayo have dropped down to their level vs Fermanagh, but not particularly close to Mayo v Dublin last year. Kerry had another gear last year which they found easily when Tyrone got the penalty.

Dublin at their best are a good bit further ahead again, and Dublin off the boil are still at least as good as Kerry/Mayo.

I very much doubt Galway are at the Tyrone/Donegal level, I guess we might see.

Overall, I could see Tyrone managing to beat Mayo/Kerry/Dublin but I couldn't see them being favourites against any of them. If Mayo are ****e again this weekend I'd probably put the two teams on par.

Is it looking like JOD will start this weekend?

dobman88 · 29-07-2016 10:50pm

Great to see James back anyway. Hopefully he can get a bit of luck for the rest of the year after a bad time of it with injuries.

DDC1990 · 30-07-2016 8:11pm

Junior Final in Croke Park next Saturday at 2pm, before the Quarter Finals.

I'm happy out because I was going anyway, but might piss off Kerry fans who will struggle to get tickets with the game a likely sell out.

50HX · 30-07-2016 8:16pm

assuming kerry beat clare what w/end would they be playing the winners of Don/Dublin??

Injured along with:

Podge O'Connor

and probably a few more.

wonga77 · 31-07-2016 1:26pm

Full-Time: Kerry 1-24 Derry 2-10 in the minors, much more comfortable than expected Id say

dobman88 · 31-07-2016 2:39pm

We'll be annihilated by any half decent team based on that first half performance. Dublin will be laughing watching that

wonga77 · 31-07-2016 2:47pm

Dunno, think we're doing just enough to stay in front, players dont seem up for it at all

jimmytwotimes 2013 · 31-07-2016 2:47pm

Terrible to think this is a national 1/4 final. Don't see any improvement in the Kerry approach in over a year though. Dubs will win the semi handy, assuming they come through their 1/4.

Felix Jones is God · 31-07-2016 3:08pm

You can only beat what's in front of you...and unfortunately, Clare aren't anything like a challenge,

It's called being dragged down to their level and being beaten with experience

Poor_old_gill · 31-07-2016 3:34pm

This is such absolutely woeful sh*te to watch that I really feel that we as a county have massively regressed on basic skills in a vain attempt to match others for physicality.

How many wides have we kicked from with 30 yards?

wonga77 · 31-07-2016 3:47pm

That was fairly boring, hopefully theres a bit of life in the second game

wonga77 · 31-07-2016 3:49pm

Id say the A v B games must surely be more intense then that, maybe a few rounds of county championship wouldnt have hurt some of these guys

That can't always be the excuse.

Look a ye destruction ye wrought on Kildare at this stage last year. Ye weren't brought down to their level on that day.

Some of the shooting today from Kerry was criminal.

BJK, Darran and (begrudgingly) JOD were decent today though.

We peaked too early last year, we have 4 weeks to prepare, and Dublin haven't had a game all championship...I'm not feeling pessimistic

We haven't had a game? We've played the same amount of nonentities as ye.

Admittedly we played 3 different teams.

The logic that's being thrown around about the state of our opponents is astounding.

By the time the SF comes about we'll have had a real test. If we win it of course.

I like your optimism but we're miles away and have regressed badly from this time last year. We don't have the legs for Dublin and will not beat them. I'd give us a good chance against Donegal.

Kerry have the measure of Donegal alright. Id say Donegal would rather play Dublin

windy shepard henderson · 31-07-2016 11:10pm

well done today lads , bit of a cake walk but , the best outcome for kerry today is they are now compleatly written off for the semi final in 3 weeks time .... just like 2009? everyone is talking about kerrys lack of intensity and not being tested at the same time , i doubt dublin have gained too much by the likes of dean rock scoring 1-10 a game in leinster , truth probably known neither side will be really tested until they meet each other next month

homerjay2005 · 01-08-2016 1:56pm

job done as usual in these games, thought we were poor but look, we are where we need to be and have 3+ weeks to get ready.

need to improve, but i think we can do ourselves justice.

DDC1990 · 01-08-2016 3:58pm

We only conceeded 5 points in the first half, when we played with our sweepers.
Nothing came up the middle.

Donaghy for the second time outplayed Garry Brennan at midfield, and for me is one of our most important players along with Paul Murphy.

Forwards were off form and still we hit a decent total.

I'd read nothing into the second half to be honest. We went man to man so we invited more shots on our goal, while getting more shots ourselves on the Clare goal.

Maher still has a long way to go. Looked slow and Brennan beat him for a good few balls.

Marc came on and played at CHB. Very interesting. Wouldn't shock me to see Marc and Aidan start against the Dubs.

Full back line was solid. Young looks faster this year, and had a good game on Collins.

I was happy enough with the performance bar the shooting. Will need to up the accuracy for the Dubs or Donegal.
