Looks like Jacko taking over. I hearing Dairmuid Murphy.Dec Sullivan and Seamus Moynihan as selectors. John Sugrue as trainer. kerry4sam21 (Kerry) - Posts: 103 - 14/09/2021 13:46:31 2380610 Link 0 |

More of a kerry forum this I think, but for what it's worth I'd make ye warm favourites to lift Sam next year. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1708 - 14/09/2021 19:26:31 2380730 Link 1 |

I'm aware that it's experimental but I can only realistically seeing about 5 of that team ever making a Championship XV. There's lads on the fringes at th3 moment in the panel that could be given a shot. I think it's time for Geaney and Morans starting place on the Championship XV to go, replace them with Diarmuid O'Connor and Killian Spillane. The two lads will be good, mature heads to bring off the bench in the heat of battle.

I'd make Kerry favs for next year too but if they come up against Tyrone again at whatever stage it's going to be some game, I think the rivalry has been reignited, Kerry only lost narrowly to Tyrone and a lot of their shortcomings were down to how they set up and played into Tyrone's hands, Jack O'Connor will have them better prepared.

I don't think Mayo will win it, Dublin fairly ran out of gas in the semi,looked awful from the second half on, I think they might take a season or two to get back up there, Tyrone might win it but retaining the title will be very difficult, for me Kerry played really stupidly in the semi, they wasted about 6 nailed on points going for goals and just got bottled up by a superb Tyrone defence. A better manager will make a big difference to them, and they'll be desperate to atone for this season. That's pretty much all I'm basing it on, I wouldnt rule out Tyrone winning it either.

Kerry would be my favourites next year also but a lot depends on how the championship is setup. If it's based on provincials I'd say Kerry. If it's got a back door I'd say maybe Tyrone as it means every Ulster game isn't a straight knockout. If it's a League of sorts I'd say Dublin. tyroneed (Tyrone) - Posts: 753 - 15/09/2021 13:15:56 2380885 Link 0 |

Based on the fact that they have failed to beat any good, good not even great, intercounty football team in a Championship game in over 2 years of course! What alot of lads fail to realise about bookies odds is that these odds arent decided based on who bookies think will actually win whatever competition. They are based on where bookies think the money is going to be bet by the punters. I think Monaghan and Donegal both came closer to beating Tyrone than Mayo or Kerry when it came down to a Championship match. Both Mayo's and Kerry's forwards largely didnt have the composure/skill to take their chances or work the ball around like Dublin to make their chances better with the obvious exception of David Clifford.

Kerry would be mad to not try and get Donie Buckley back on board. Offtheball10 (Meath) - Posts: 60 - 15/09/2021 13:50:56 2380893 Link 1 |

Sorry but you're wrong on both counts there. kerry lost to tyrone by a point after extra time, neither Monaghan or donegal came as close as that. And kerry beat tyrone in the 2019. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1708 - 15/09/2021 15:19:03 2380925 Link 0 |

Hard to know. I really thought they would win it this year, but obviously didn't. Thats 3 years on the trot they didn't play to their full potential. The final 2 years ago was a particularly close call. The question now is whether they have the stomach to keep coming back for more. I believe they do, particularly when they have a new manager.

He's not wrong Kerry haven't won a meaningful game since they defeated Tyrone in the 2019 semi final and had Tyrone been a bit more adventurous they wouldn't have won that one either.
