Kerry's Kieran O'Leary concedes that Donegal are "an extremely good side".
O'Leary came off the bench to kick the dramatic late point that brought the Kingdom's All-Ireland semi-final against Mayo to a replay and that score was as instrumental as any in setting up Sunday's novel Sam Maguire Cup decider against the Tir Chonail men.
The long-serving Kerry attacker - part of the Munster champions' squad since 2006 - has the height of respect for Jim McGuinness' team:
"They are an extremely good side," the Dr Croke clubman says in The Irish Examiner. "They proved that by beating the favourites for the competition. They have a few key players such as Michael Murphy, he is a fantastic player and he is playing extremely well to be honest.
"We will have to play to the best of our abilities to beat them but I know we can. We have been playing well all year and, you know what, we can't wait for it."
