Replying To Laois76: "That's it re. someone being his favourite. Whoever's flavour of the month. Very childish. Reminds me of Dunphy when he loved Roy Keane, then fell out with him and was eulogising DJ Carey for a while!" Dunphy's dad was a Kilkenny man. He has a love for Kilkenny hurling and I think really is in awe of DJ Carey, as many of us are. Brolly is in awe of himself. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7358 - 18/08/2017 12:33:52 2035082 Link
If Mayo play the way they did against Roscommon they should shade it. If Mayo play the way they did against Roscommon (first day) they haven't a hope Draw written all over it then mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 18/08/2017 12:56:09 2035092 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "One thing I can't understand is why Fitzmaurice is playing Jonny Buckley it makes zero sense to me , I don't like slagging him off cause he's seems like a sound lad and he's a good player but he lacks pace big time and he's been found out a million times in these bigger games, Mayo's backs who are fast and won't stop running all game will give him an awful time of it, what happened to the Kerry number 11 from the league final he seemed like the answer for centre forward to me." I like Buckley but he does lack pace alright. He is strong as a horse, good with the ball in hand, he can kick a point and can field, if he had pace he would be some player. I can't really remember too many games where he has been found out, he has been injured a lot over the years. We are not bursting with options at 11 anyway. Who are you talking about from the league final? Michael Geaney was no 11 IIRC, he was excellent that day but hasn't brought that form into the championship so far. Kevin McCarthy was no. 13 and played out around the middle for a lot of the game as well. He was injured against Galway but is back in the panel for Sunday. He is a good option from the bench if he doesn't start, which I suspect he won't. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 18/08/2017 13:07:24 2035097 Link

The '13 semi final and '15 final against Dublin he was taken off at half time , you could see clear as day in them games he just didn't have the legs. He'd one very good half against Tyrone in '15 but other than that I can't think of him doing it in the big games. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 18/08/2017 13:29:52 2035101 Link

Has senior level experience before the suspension. Gaa Fan (USA) - Posts: 749 - 18/08/2017 15:13:47 2035122 Link
Replying To Gaa Fan: "How about Brendan O'Sullivan at no. 11? Play well on the junior team and is strong and fast. Has senior level experience before the suspension." Too late into the Championship for Brendan to be involved this year Id say, next year could be a big year for him. I'm fact there's about a half dozen young lads that should be part of the starting day 15 come the 2018 League. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 18/08/2017 16:03:10 2035146 Link

I knew that about Dunphy's dad. Remember the wailing Dunphy did with Gay Byrne on THe Meaning of Life!! Still around 2002 when DJ returned after the car accident and played brilliantly against Tipp and Clare Dunphy kinda latched onto his star.

I'm fed up hearing how will Mayo cope with Donaghy or O'Donoghue or Geaney or Moran or the rest of the quality Kingdom players. We know Kerry are good but no team is unbeatable. It's time Rochford comes up with a plan to give Kerry something to think about on Sunday. If we don't we should stay at home. Maigh Eo Abú!

Go at it like the last day and make them answer questions. It's an old adage but attack is the best form of defence. Ye have plenty to worry them. 7th year in a row at all-ire semi stage. Not too many with that record. Someday the bit of luck will come. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 18/08/2017 19:47:33 2035235 Link

Replying To Laois76: "Only when you read through it that you realise how strong it is. Killian Young back in the corner?" Yep corner back. Mayo probably will have a two man full forward line so not sure how much time he will stay in there. I think Enright and Griffin will pick up Andy Moran and Cillian O Connor but I could be wrong.

Replying To endgame: "Donnacha Walsh." Underrated how? He's a great work horse for Kerry that kicks a point a game give or take but compared to the lethal forwards Kerry have had/have and they've had a lot he's way down the list. I think Kerry supporters are happy O Brien is starting he brings blistering pace and will give the Mayo defence way more to worry about than Walsh would. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 18/08/2017 21:28:24 2035258 Link
