Duvet Or Not To Duvet, That Is The Question?

Will Dublin go full blanket on this young Kerry team on the 1st of September? Will Jim Gavin take the chance of going man on man with these Kerry forwards? This Dublin team hasn't come up against a forward unit like this in a long time. History has to be made so will Jim go toe to toe or maybe do the sensible thing and go for the blanket? Our Kerry teams always struggle against a good blanket and Gilroy won an All Ireland against us with the blanket back in 2011. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 13/08/2019 21:31:49 2225295 Link

Do we really need another thread on Kerry v Dublin? jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 13/08/2019 21:54:14 2225309 Link

Replying To achara: "They always use the blanket" No that can't be right achara, Dublin play football the proper way. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 13/08/2019 22:11:02 2225320 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "This thread is to discuss probable tactics jimbo and starting Dermot is off the table ok ;-)" Pretty sure that could have been discussed on the Kerry v Dublin thread but whatever you want chief jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 13/08/2019 22:23:37 2225326 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "This thread is to discuss probable tactics jimbo and starting Dermot is off the table ok ;-)" And Kerry people talking about how good David Clifford is will also be off the table! DUBJOHN (Dublin) - Posts: 932 - 13/08/2019 22:25:22 2225331 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "No that can't be right achara, Dublin play football the proper way." Do yourself a favour and watch the whirlwind that was Dublin's demolition of Mayo between minutes 35 and 46 last Sat. Not since 9/11 has such damage been inflicted on an area 145 x 85m. The only duvet required on 9/1 coming will be fire blankets to extinguish the blaze in the Kerry defence :) Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 13/08/2019 22:34:54 2225337 Link
Joe Brolly would say it is the greatest duvet ever. If it were Tyrone it would be a charity shop duvet Thelonesomegoose (Leitrim) - Posts: 204 - 13/08/2019 22:51:18 2225340 Link

Kerry think they have a duvet but it's more like a very thin polyester sheet. Most people throw it off in the summer months. Dublin will do exactly that. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 912 - 14/08/2019 07:25:17 2225392 Link

I look forward to seeing the Dublin forwards rampaging through this Swiss cheese defense much as Kerry did to us in 78. 5-11 to 0-9. I was there in 78 and I'll be there on the first. Accounts are going to be settled. Kerrys are taking comfort in the brilliantly executed ambush by Donegal in 2014 at odds of 10-1. Forget it. Gavin learned that lesson well and it can never happen again while he's in charge. An ambush has to be a surprise. 9/2 is short odds IMO. If Kerry do not use the double duvet to begin with they are finished early on. Dublin will goal and the first one will signal the end for Kerry. I see Kerry desperately holding on until half time. After that, look at Dublin's stats. Kerry have some excellent players, no doubt about that but we have a lot more. You can't outlast us. you can't outshoot us. You can't outrun us. You can't outplay us............................. Who you gonna call? steve097 (Dublin) - Posts: 109 - 14/08/2019 07:46:23 2225397 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "I suppose resistance is futile realdub :-)" Hahaha I'm pulling the other one obviously but I seriously can't wait, probably the biggest day in our history so theres plenty of motivation for the kingdom. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 14/08/2019 12:40:07 2225508 Link

As billy Keane said on the radio this isn't about us stopping the 5 in a row it's about us trying to win 1 in a row. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 14/08/2019 15:01:47 2225634 Link
