I think Morley and BOB have done well, but if it is Dublin we are playing I might be inclined to play Marc and AOM. I'd go with: Kelly Enright Griffin Young O'Sé Crowley O'Mahoney Donaghy Buckley (Gives us a running option around the middle and a bit of speed to track back. Also can kick the ball from the ground). D. O'Sullivan (but possibly M.Geaney to begin with to run with Dublin for the first 25minutes) Murphy Walsh O'Brien P.Geaney O'Donoghue Enright on Brogan Young on Kilkenny Crowley on Connolly Griffin on Mannion/Andrews AOM and Marc as sweepers. Leaves Flynn and Rock without a direct man marker, but if Rock came in to the full forward line, Marc could cover him in there if needed. AOM out on Connolly, with Crowley to cover Flynn for kickouts. If we do go with Morley and BO'B, Morley will probably sweep and Bo'B will man mark Rock. With Murphy, Geaney and Donnacha in the half forwards, you have 3 guys who will have the pace and the physicality to stay with Dublin players raiding forwards. Buckley would have the pace to cover attacks from Fenton, that Donaghy, Moran, Maher or Sheehan wouldn't have. Donaghy would go on Bastick or MDM. The pace of MDM would hurt Donaghy I fear, but we don't really have any other option, short of playing someone like Griffin around the middle (lunacy this late in the championship). TBH, I think we will match up well with them in defence, its getting scores that we have found difficult in our last couple of encounters. We need Geaney, James and SOB to be on top form, to win the 50/50 ball and to take good scoring opportunities. We will need to deliver accurate foot-passes quickly to catch out the Dublin sweepers, because once they set up they are extremely difficult to break down, and they don't give up soft frees. Hopefully we don't get a bout of madness and decide at any stage to go Man to Man, because as we have seen over the last 3 years, we are hugely vulnerable to goal chances when we go man to man, due to a lack of pace at midfield, leading to overlaps in defence. Clare, Tipperary, Dublin, Tyrone Galway no matter the team, we look very open when not playing a defensive system.

People hate/envy success. Look at Dublin. A very successful team and they have a lot more to come. They're dirty, cynical and they have the cute hoorism that will win them more All Ireland's. Kerry have it. Donegal had it. Mayo just lack something. It comes with winning and so be it.

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.

But for me when this donkey is put out to grass he can walk down tralee with his head held high, that goal in 06 when he put francie on his arse made him a kerry legend for me.

Also he was injured for most of the 2009 championship so that discounts one year. On to more meaningful topics here, who is up next for the minors and what is their form line ?
