Mod Note Post #1 - The 2022 All Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Flynn was a complete different type of player an all rounder. Did the dirty work covered the ground for the more flamboyant players. Plus he could take a score rarely wasted ball.

David Clifford - great player but is dependent on others to give him the ball.

His performance of fielding today says otherwise...

He is the most skillful forward in the country.

Only guy coming near him is walsh.

Such bitterness. If Galway were the better team for that long they'd have got over the line. They didn't. They took on a Kerry team under massive pressure from the favourites tag and really went for the jugular and were the better team for the first half. And kept neck in neck for the second half too. And Galway are an excellent team and soon to be All Ireland champs, no doubt. But the better team hangs on and doesn't wilt. Galway wilted today. Kerry's experience, better management, better team performance and better bench won the day. The better team won, not hugely better, but still better and now deservedly All Ireland champions. Get over it!

I see Joe Brolly wasn't impressed with Kerry today. Saying for most of the game they were a 'mess' and were saved by David Clifford.

People have different views, some see this as the start of a period of Kerry dominance. I don't. Outside of Clifford not one starting forward looked dangerous from play. O Se went missing. Geaney had a nightmare. It took Spillane to come on to add a bit of life to the attack.

This Kerry team is miles away from the O Se brothers and Gooch team. They do not have that aura about then and i don't think any of the top teams will have any fear factor coming up against them next year.

They are a solid if unspectacular team.

Could have said the same about Dublin 2011. Hard to know what will come from this team. I dont think they will do any serious "in a row" damage. But they will probably bag a few over next decade. Thought they were a much better side in second half, maybe the Spillanes will now step up and become regular starters, Moynihan etc. Plenty talent there, but it should be a competitive few years. That's a good Galway side, Dublin might have been only an injury away from winning an AI, Surely Tyrone come strong again with an influx of u20s and hopefully Armagh and less hopefully Derry keep it lit.

If Shane Walsh doesn't get motm well that's a joke. Clifford was very good but Walsh was exceptional today. Best individual performance I have seen in a long long time

Are you saying Clifford could lace Galvin's boots?

Honestly.

Wouldn’t be a fan of it either to be honest

Hardly. Kerry went 1 point ahead from it. If that is enough to see you beaten by 4 then you just werent good enough to win it.

Galway lost because they didnt have the bench Kerry had. Kerry comfortably the better team in last 15 mins, Galway lucky to have 15 men on the field at that point.

Joyce is clutching at straws. They had a great year but just werent good enough in the final.

Mmm I would have doubt. With the new structure they wouldn't be getting as handy a path to an AIF again. And even with that they had to strain every sinew to get past Armagh who are what, fourth team in Ulster?

Watching Sunday Game now.

Shane Walsh is some player.

Stephen O Brien the workhorse of workhorses today.

Jack Glynn’s attacking runs. 👍

McDaid’s midfield magnificence. (All Star?)

Paudie Clifford woke up in the second half. (Soloing technique is lovely)

Jason Foley’s dominance of Comer.

Liam Silke’s dominance of Seanie Shea.

Galway keeper was erratic, Kerry have been there…Shane Ryan had a great game.

…Actually amazed he didn’t get the black card.

David Clifford…

John Daly’s distribution.

Spillanes in second half made a difference.

Again…McDaid…some performance.

That free Killian won was a tough one for Galway.

The difference though having Killian rather than Geaney.

Galway got tired?
