Kilkenny GAA Thread

We’re finally throwing the ball like the rest of the country if you can’t beat them then join them 🤣

Yeah I actually think the ball into the forwards has improved this evening apart from a couple of Hail Marys. Carey very solid at centre back so far.

Yes to be fair Donnelly was the best of our inside forwards in 1st half. Body seems to let him down a lot by looks of it

Hes lost the plot with some of his decisions in the last 10 minutes. We're making the wrong choices too often atm.

Deegan is having a nightmare

Blanchfield has been cleaned for 1 5 from play and decision making and pot shots have been shocking. Way worse than Deegan today.

Jordan Molloy and Cian Kenny our best players. Injuries to Lawlor and Kenny will hurt us in next two games.

Worrying for is Eoin Cody's form, can't make space and is not on any ball. A good few man markers have his number, might have to go half forward.

We had our usual fade out in the last quarter and again no real huge impact off the bench.

Donnelly and Mullen will obviously make a difference up front and hopefully Stephen Donnellys injury not serious as he looks like he can make it at this level.

Agreed on Kenny. As soon as he went off there was noone for our backs to give the ball to

Didn't think Deegan done anything wrong, he can be the fall guy sometimes. Moylan looked decent the short while he was on. But the worrying thing is bar maybe Molloy and Shane Murphy we will have almost exact same team as last three years.

The sideways free from Murphy to Blanch only for him to put it 5 yards wide. Why? Just why? What was the logic there.

That was a winnable match and makes the next a must win.Another Poor second half and only scored 5 points from play. This is a theme the last few years. The area around stamina and s&c is glaring. Its an awful pity the county board take so many shortcuts. Scruff must of known someone in the stand that he was driving the ball into the stand so often.Some of his puckouts were woeful I don't know how anyone thinks the ball in is improving.cian Kenny and Jordan molloy both good. Deegan isn't able to mark so trying to make a position for him wingback isn't going to work. They may leave cody on the frees because kk haven't a natural free taker when tj goes probably this year. He has a lot of practising to do and you would half to wonder why wasn't this done a few years ago. We expected billy drennan to kick on. He has to try blood lads ive no problem with that but Stephen donnelly the only positive up front and unfortunately is injury prone. 5 points from play in the second half is very poor and the same problems stay the same

Yeah that’s one of the incidents I was referring to and actually they were both brainless there.

I wouldn’t be as negative as some though, Cian Kenny becoming a real leader, I thought Carey was good again tonight and Molloy and S Donnelly could easily make the breakthrough this year. Mikey Butler starting to look a little steadier but there is a place up for grabs in the other corner.

We could easily have won that game and as I said earlier Donnelly and Mullen will be huge additions if we can get them fit.

Eoin Cody a worry alright but our biggest problem is finding a way to get him on the ball more… he showed with the point he scored tonight and in previous games that he’s well able to take his scores when he gets chances he just seems to be out of the game for awfully long periods.

Apologies I meant blanch. To be fair he has being consistent but he was poor tonight. Oppositions copping onto the dummys. Another big fade out. 5 points from play in the second half is very poor..molloy and Kenny were the positives and if they could get Stephen donnelly fit. Kenny could give something different but need to find a midfield partner ship because the spine has changed so many times.Killian doyle isn't ready. I know the forwards aren't the quickest but the ball in isn't working. I'm all for blooding lads but we just aren't producing fowards.
