Kerry GAA discussion thread #2

Ya certainly agree with that, we could say we could have won a few more in the last 5 years and you could say we were lucky to win the one we did in 22, we expected to push on after winning in 22 it didn't happen, what a game of hurling we had today puts that shite we have been watching last few weeks in the football in to prospetive and what a speech by the GAA president, great speaker and some ocation next week end with his son playing for Armagh, great moments in Irish sport.

harsh, are you forgetting the all Ireland glory of 2022 that 30 other counties in Ireland can only dream of.

Past tense..this team should have had 3 under it's belt.

100%.

Armagh aren't a great team.

This is another AI left behind us.

How do you feel about being 5/2 favs for next years All Ireland? I think it’s short but probably fair enough that your slight favourites I suppose!

paddy tally has been a fantastic addition… not his fault we give up stupid goals…

Has Burke leaving been confirmed? That would be a big loss but good luck to him at the same time.

I do think they could do with a back room shake up. Not sure if Donaghy would want to come in with Jack who looks to be a bit of a lame duck going in to next season in all honesty. I can’t see them extending his term now, and if they dont win the All Ireland in 2025 he will almost certainly be gone.

On another note, well done and congratulations to Kieran on yesterday. I was surprised to see him link up with McGeeney in Armagh but it has worked out great for him and the Armagh players clearly have great time for him.

TBH, once you get to the All-Ireland semis and onwards, a management team makes it own luck - there've been too many times over the last decade where we've been dominant in games entering the final quarter, but between fitness issues, tactical negativity and being heavily reliant on largely the same panel, we've thrown away 3-5 point leads, which more often than not, has been fatal. Of course the players ultimately have to hold their hands up as much as JOC, but have our minors and U20s progressed to the extent that might have been expected - I suspect few would make that argument

I think CB is only going to Oz for the winter. I think he will be unavailable for the league but will be back for championship next season. A mistake by Jack not starting him for championship this year. If he was starting he might not be going to OZ.

Hiw long will DG stay around if treated the same. For all those lads complaining about Jack Barry we really missed him this year. He might have made the difference. Joe O Connor is a bit static or is that the way he is played. We missed JB blocking runs for Clifford into the scoring area.

On Jack he us slipping failed to make the changes early enough in the final last year. This year spend the league trying to avoid winning it ir getting relegated after he f@@ked up in the first match against Derry. Had 2-3 new players in the league and did a Peter Keane on it in dropping them for older players.

Of the present team, Murphy, Morley, Moynihan, Brosnan, O'Brien and Geany are questionable as championship material. Four of them definitely need replacing and 2-3 should be leaving the panel.

I don't think we left anything behind us this year. The reality is, this team just isn't good enough.

Beat a poor Dublin team missing some huge names in 2022 with a last second hail mary and were lucky we faced a poor Galway side in the final.

Armagh were full value for the win in the semi final and I'm glad they finished the job yesterday, especially with Donaghy in with them.

The football looks to be open for the next few years so maybe we can pick up 1 or 2 sporadically if things go our way but we won't be doing 2 in a row any time soon.

Cillian Burke is only gone to Oz travelling afaik, not for AFL, and will be back.

They deserved their win and their AI but they definitely had a bit of luck.

I feel like Kerry never get lucky and have to do it the hard way.

Super performance today, well done to the ladies.

Very accurate in the kick pass & the let the ball do the work

The seniors could do with learning the latter from them

Hope they get a great home coming

delighted for the captain niamh a brilliant girl from ballylongford , worked over this side of the water in her collage days , lovely girl ,since she was u14 she was seen as a prospect , has jumped through hoops of all sizes to get to today well done niamh and well done kerry

Milltown \Castlemaine scored 1 point in their loss to Dingle in the county championship yesterday.

Is that a all time record I wonder?

By the way Dingle scored 18.

I'm all for change

The status quo isn't serving us well is it?

HHopefully It will reward the more skillful players

We need to up our game

We will miss Adrian, he should have got more championship time last year. We lack a bit of bite in the middle third

Jack's last year, in surprised at Adrian, his bite will be a big loss to us

Stephen had great days for us & correct decision to go now ( prob should have gone last year)

had a very lengthy conversation with a few great Gaa men, granted after a heap of creamy pints in an establishment in Killarney and what I could gather out off it was that we don't like too much change

If you took the pints out of it it sounds like a regular episode of Terrace Talk.

He should have been first man in when Jack Barry stepped away. Jack O Connor has ruined this groups chances of another All Ireland. Spillane has stepped away and Joe O Connor will continue at midfield where he is a massive defensive liability.Killian Burke didn’t get the game time he should have got and he is now gone to OZ. Paul Geaney steals game time from players who could actually make a difference in latter championship. Yes I know, flying in Kerry championship bar the final but that’s at a pace that suits him well. If he is on the Kerry panel next year then Brian Looney should be too…..in theory… but seriously that’s a joke.

Thought Paul Murphy had an excellent year this year, certainly top 3 for us in my opinion anyway.

I'd say there would be a wide variety in "Top 3s" from 2024 across Kerry fans given how the season panned out and our flat performances throughout.

The reason he coukd not express his talent is because Jack did not play him
