And that Donegal win Ulster.

Spillane and Geaney were promising underage players in fairness, not sure if they will make it at this stage but I wouldn’t be critical of Keane for trying. Lyne is a different player entirely, a hard running half back / half forward that is there to do a specific job at times. Mikey is one of those guys with a high ceiling but a very low floor to the point where he can be totally anonymous, don’t know what to make of him really. Tomas O’Se said in a recent article that he should be starting. Kevin McCarthy is a far superior player to Savage from what I have seen of them and he has that physicality that Savage lacks, he really had the potential to be a standout player, what a waste.

Struggled with the physicality for one thing. Was a decent underage player and still a very good club player. His clubmate Barry John Keane, in my view, is someone who has been treated harshly though. No point going back into that I guess.
Poor_old_gill wrote: » I'd wager he does have a future - prob better than 4/5 of the forwards in there at the moment. Just needs to get the discipline under control. Would be our best playmaker if he was inside there but do agree that he can take a little bit too much out of the ball
Boom__Boom wrote: » I think the odds are he doesn't have a future with Kerry - just that slight bit too ponderous for inter-county to my mind. He's a superb club player but at intercounty level where you get closed down much quicker he's too easy nullified by intercounty defenders.

Poor_old_gill wrote: » Outside of our full forward line- I think we are fairly average. And Keane is falling into the one managerial failing that drives me nuts whereby a manager picks a bench of guys who do exactly the same thing but just not as good as the lads starting. Having Burns, Lyne & Mike geaney on the bench is just idiotic as they are going to do the same thing as o brien or Moynihan but just not as good. It might not matter against Clare but against better teams we will need players who can change the game. We need at least one playmaker on there. I’d also like to see Gavin o brien back in as we offer an extra option when pushing up on teams kick outs

Only positive was James first half display. Tim Moynihan on radio Kerry is hard to listen to. “A mother and father belt of a shoulder”. What does he be on about. Surely they could get some guys with better modern knowledge, Darren O Sullivan,Donnacha Walsh,Marc O Se etc.

wonga77 wrote: » Im not sure what the story with Brendan Sullivan is, Valentia arent fielding a team so he isnt playing at all. Killian isnt retired yet either. I think Kevin Mac left the panel
Forge83 wrote: » That forward line will have to put up a massive score today to give us genuine momentum. 5 of the best forwards in the game. If these guys click no team including Dublin can stop them and then our defensive averageness won’t be relevant. Looking for at least a couple of goals and 20 plus points this evening largely from play. Hoping Gavin White gets some minutes from the bench, another massive player for us.
