A new Kerry team will be itching to get at Tyrone and lay down a marker for the next decade. Previous Kerry teams have been questioned in regards to their record against Ulster teams particularly Tyrone. Tyrone in the 00's was a freak team, something I doubt we'll see Tyrone produce again. Kerry are on the cusp of something very special and whilst whispered quietly in the Kingdom the sight of a Tyrone jersey in Croke Park will have them fired up. Kerry have the forwards, midfield and defence as well as the conditioning to play any way Tyrone want. They're also young and naive which will help against the expected cynical tactics Tyrone will bring - these Kerry boys strike me as honest guys who just want to play ball and won't let teams get into their heads. The only hope Tyrone have is the MH factor which can have an influence as we seen with Cody. It's a miracle the job he is currently doing with this Tyrone team - it won't be enough though as I see Kerry winning this very comfortably which to me will leave Tyrone asking questions of where they're going.

Hoping for a Kerry win here. Should be a decent game. Looking forward to it.

Having seen both teams this summer, I would say Kerry by 5.

But have Tyrone reverted to type since we beat them in Ulster? I haven't caught any of your games since. If so it may be more of an arm-wrestle and I think no more than ourselves getting bullied a bit by a more experienced Mayo, the same could happen this young Kerry side in that case.

But if Tyrone play that more open style then Kerry will win. They just have better footballers.

Would like to see Tyrone win but I don't think they will; nothing against Kerry at all, great footballers. Tyrone struggle with fast players running at them and I think Kerry have the edge here. They have some very capable players who move the ball quickly in the front 6 and that will hurt Tyrone who can be opened up too easily. Tyrone can also be turned over in possession and are want to doddle on the ball at times with the slow, back and sideways stuff. If they do that against Kerry they will get punished harshly. If Tyrone are to win they have to move the ball forward quickly and put scores on the board because Kerry are a team who can most certainly score a lot.

Kerry by 6-7 points. This is not a vintage Tyrone team.

Doubt if either of these teams are anywhere near as good as the teams from 10/15 years ago. It seems to me to be a 50/50 game and I would take Tyrone to win as the extra rest may help after a busy summer.

I think this is tough to call. How will Tyrone handle the free scoring Kerry attack? Kerry have run up some pretty impressive tallies this summer. If they get an early run on Tyrone it will ask a big question of how Tyrone play the game. Recent years have not been encouraging for Tyrone when in these positions. That said I don't expect Tyrone to turn without a good plan to counter the Kerry attacking game. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they approach it. If they nullify Kerry and keep the scoring rate down, then I think they have the experience to dictate the game. Either way, I'm looking forward to what could be a great match.

Really hard game to call. Can Tyrone stifle the Kerry attack, its a possibility you know. This Kerry team have huge potential regardless of this result, they are a young team and will only get better. I feel this has to be the year for Tyrone if they are going to lift Sam, they have an experienced team and have been knocking on the door for a few years now. I love the way that both Tyrone and Mayo embrace the qualifiers, says a lot about their character. Even as I type this post I keep changing my mind on who will win lol. I will go for Tyrone as I think their need is greater. Best of luck to both sides.

Kerry home and hosed here for me anyway. A sniff of a final and that's all that's needed. Can't see Tyrone holding the forwards. If the do it'll be up there with Mickeys greatest moments in charge.

I would be going against what seems to be the popular narrative here, i think Tyrone are going to win this one.

Weird to say but Tyrone still massively underrated, No 2 team in the country in my opinion.

The only thing that might stop them is themselves, or more top the point the defensive system but its there for them.

Following the Mayo v Donegal game, I get the feeling that the Donegal and Kerry forward lines were completely over-rated.Mayo snuffed out the Donegal attack and Tyrone are quite capable of doing the same to Kerry.
