Kerry team named and just like I said on here during the week fitzs has picked the same team as last Sunday bar donnacha Walsh is in for the injured Mikey geaney. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 25/08/2017 20:31:13 2037729 Link 0 |
Big boost for Kerry having Donnacha Walsh back, I can see JOD having a big game, he didn't like being replaced the last day, will Rochford stick with AOS at fullback? the media pundits all seem to think so, I think it's madness from a mayo point of view, Fitz will be delighted to see him wasted there again.

It's a massive boost having donnacha Walsh back . And I don't think mayo will play O'Shea at full back and neither does Eamon thats why we picked the same team , the only Change that we needed rochford will make for us tomorrow and that's by moving O'Shea to centre forward where we expected him to be last Sunday.

Mayo unchanged but it means nothing at this stage Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 25/08/2017 21:57:53 2037757 Link 0 |
Donnacha Walsh, right and fit, is a big boost, is he ready? nothing better that a game to test a hamstring, All Ireland Semi is not a where you want to be checking-out your suspect hammer, I'm sure he will start if he is to play at all, don't want to bring on a sub and take him off again, bit of desperation here however, any aggravation of the injury and he is out of the final if Kerry win tomorrow.

Whatever way Mayo line out tomorrow the one thing I fully expect is that the lads will continue on their upward curve. Kerry will be intent on putting themselves into the driver's seat but the game last week will also bring Mayo on, so I expect to see an absolutely intense performance from the first whistle to the last. The day will suit the footballing instincts of both teams and both can play the game in different ways without significant personnel changes. Donacadh Walsh will bring an improvement to the Kerry half-forward line and midfield if 100%, but if he's not there that will be found out fairly quickly. What surprised me most the last day (bar AOS at fb) was that both teams started the game as listed. What odds that'll hold tomorrow? I predicted a 4-6 point win for Mayo last Saturday and the consensus since is that this result should have been achieved. I think whatever happens there will be a plan to reduce Donaghy's influence. Midfield will again be tight for both sides and both will press eachother at the back as much as possible. A big question is whether either or both sides will deploy a sweeper. Neither will want to do this, but if it yields an edge it will be done. I think that the way Mayo are playing has changed compared with the earlier games. They're now far more direct. If they can bring their runners into the mix a bit more than last day Kerry's defensive anxieties could resurface. The key is staying on the front foot. I still think Mayo by the odd point in 5.

Donnacha is a physiotherapist so he knows more about hammers then most of us, so I'm sure if he feels he's good to go then he's good to go.

You can never know with a hamstring how right it is until the white heat of battle comes on and the adrenaline is up and muscles are at maximum stress. Only then will you find your answer. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 26/08/2017 09:55:29 2037858 Link 0 |
Gonna be another epic. I think Mayo will have learned a little more than Kerry from last week and may have a bit more room for improvement. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13796 - 26/08/2017 10:51:20 2037871 Link 0 |

Bad omen for Mayo is that Kerry have not lost a replay in the All Ireland series since 1972 final replay to Offaly. I think that's correct anyway if anyone can confirm. KY4SAM2015 (Kerry) - Posts: 898 - 26/08/2017 11:34:58 2037888 Link 1 |
Unfortunately this is the end of this Mayo side IMO jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20763 - 26/08/2017 14:52:50 2037954 Link 0 |
I suspect Kerry will win this today, looking at Mayo's kick-out strategy the last day and freedom in front of the Kerry goal, you would expect Kerry to have more room to improve for the replay. If Mayo decide to kick up the middle today, they will need Aidan O'Shea up in midfield to combat David Moran. GaryMc82 (Derry) - Posts: 3026 - 26/08/2017 15:02:39 2037956 Link 0 |

Who was the Kerry man there with his knee in Boyle's head....looked nasty. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2093 - 26/08/2017 15:20:39 2037960 Link 0 |
Kerry's persistent cynical fouling is sickening. They are making no attempt to tackle - they just pull and drag all the time. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 1034 - 26/08/2017 15:20:39 2037961 Link 1 |
Both teams are at it, ref not blowing on Mayo that is all.

Kerry are very shaky and lacking in confidence - Mayo will win this unless Kerry get to grips with their nerves. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4953 - 26/08/2017 15:27:14 2037963 Link 0 |
