The emphasis should be on giving the youthful prospects the nod. The Eoin O Donoghue's,Michael Plunkett,Fionn McDonagh and James Carr can all have valid claims to start in the early stages of the championship.Very excited about the options James McCormack and Ciaran Treacy will possibly offer, Throw in Hanley if fit,Tom Parsons,Seamus O Shea,Conor Diskin. Agreed Andy,Boyler are impact substitutes IMO.Hard call to make on Fionn or Fergal to start.Can't see Stephen Coen starting.Darren Coen definitely offers more off the bench than Evan Regan.Disappointing that as yet Conor Loftus has not convincingly put himself into the mix. Ryan O Donoghue it appears will have to be content with waiting for another year at this stage? Here is the full listing in Sunday's programme of players used throughout the league plus the number of appearances pre final.A great spread. Chris Barrett 4 Fergal Boland 4 Colm Boyle 4 Ger Cafferkey 2 James Carr 1 David Clarke 3 Darren Coen 2 Stephen Coen 7 Conor Diskin 3 Jason Doherty 7 David Drake 3 James Durcan 2 Jason Gibbons 1 Brendan Harrison 6 Robert Hennelly 5 Keith Higgins 6 Lee Keegan 6 Conor Loftus 1 James McCormack 4 Fionn McDonagh 6 Kevin McLoughlin 6 Andy Moran 6 Colm Moran 1 Diarmuid O Connor 6 Eoin O Donoghue 2 Aidan O Shea 7 Seamus O Shea 1 Michael Plunkett 3 Brian Reape 6 Evan Regan 2 Matthew Ruane 6 Ciaran Treacy 4 Donal Vaughan 7

Blackjack wrote: » Yep. It was a clear enough free for a push in the back and to be fair to the ref I thought he was alright. The whistle was long blown and Hennelly didn’t budge as he knew the free was already called. The Ref was certainly bang on with that decision there and if Kerry fans wanted to feel aggrieved about that decision they could look at the penalty call James Carr has in the second half, which on review wasn’t a penalty either. Overall the ref did OK - a bit inconsistent at times but by and large I’d say he got his calls right.
spurscormac wrote: » The one he definitely got wrong was the first yellow he gave Aidan. There's no way that either he or the linesman knew what happened, yet felt it was ok to dish out a yellow to both players. That annoys me to be honest, more often than not, one player has fouled another, dragged him to the ground, yet the offended player has to take a yellow card having done nothing wrong. There should be a warning dished out, rather than an assumption that "both of them were at it". Other than that, he did ok, pulled a lot of blatant pushes on both sides, which was refreshing to see.
