Kerry GAA discussion thread #2

Can you pick up tickets for hurling County final in supervalu?I know you can get them online.

Delighted for them, got going straight away you could see they wanted it so much, great performance kept attacking to the final whistle,

A new hurling manager, an incomplete management team for the footballers (for now at least).

Will these new changes suit Kerry, 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. Like you know what our northern friends are going to tell us, well ye free staters had to change the rules to beat us.

Stephen O Brien and Adrian Spillane finish up. Adrian a bit of a surprise. Two good players for us. Wish them well.

He's 30 now and Jack clearly doesn't fancy time for any sort of game time. Could see Barry O Sullivan going for the same reason.

Lads at that age aren't going to hang around anymore. The CB and management think lads should be grateful to just be part of the panel but that's not enough anymore for what they have to give up.

Adrian Hardly got going with Kerry I always thought he was good enough to start and I expect so did he and that's why he called it a day

You called it right.

Cillian has signed for Geelong

In 2023 he gave the young red haird lad game time instead of Donal Downes. He persisted with Tony Brosnan and as well. Add Paul Murphy into the equation as well.

Not really anti Joe O Connor but would have had Adrian in the HF line instead of Moynihan. Cillian Burke should have started championship and I cannot understand starting PM. We lacked grit in both 2023 and 2024. Plenty of nice fancy Dan footballers but no bite and ballot players.

Paul Murphy had a strong year in 2024 after poor campaigns in 2022 and 2023. Wouldn’t go as far as saying he was in our top 3 players though. If he was then we are in bigger trouble than I thought.

Great opportunity for Cillian burke at 21 his at his peak, and he can always come back, sadly the way football is being played these talented footballers are not allowed to express themselves on the field and we didn't see enough of him and I wish him all the best.

Should have started against Armagh, he was our best player last year.

So is Donal Downes I heard. I think we are taking two steps back for every forward step with Jack. What happened with Cillian Burke last year was a disaster. I heard Jack and Graham are not tge best of pals any longer either

well deserved recall I think. Was a colossus for Crokes. There is surely at least a role off the bench for him.

Are you travelling tomorrow.

Positive but very negative about this year. What I saw go on last year to 20 months was a disgrace. We are losing borderline players. Micheal Burns and Donald Downs coming back isn't a positive. Whatever about Downes Bruns is a negative an old player recovering his place. We have too many journey men pro's on the team.

Heading up tomorrow, I think we will do OK but we need a manager to stand up to the finiancial side of the county board
