The players should know tonight who is playing against kerry next saturday ..play against a B team and put a play in place on how they are going to play , I do not like the way davy names one team 3 days before a match . gives the players the real team a day before the match as this might upset players who are dropped . i also think its an ideal game to try out 4 or 5 players who did, nt play against galway . i know the players have put in a huge commitment and wish them good luck for the rest of the season.

As there is a two week gap between the Kerry, Meath and Cork matches I think that you have to put your best team out, go full blast and see how they get on. The management team have lots of scientific stats to go on from matches and can also see how the players are going in training. Likely that 20 players will get a run-out next Saturday as the temperature is expected to hit 75/24 with limited wind. I think that the fitness & standard of several county teams has gone up a bit this year. We are really up against it this weekend (Kerry 1/12) but no doubt a few die-hards will make the long journey to support the team and hopefully have a good weekend as well.
I would hope (and expect) that the team performance improves substantially from the Galway game. I would settle for that.

Providing they are fit I think Doyle, Ruane and Hand should start this time. Any injury news? Conditions are going to be very warm so it'll be taxing on the teams. After watching the games since we've lost to Galway, we are not near dynamic enough between the half back and half forward lines compared with other teams and it's not just Division 1 teams, its Louth, Meath and Monaghan as well. I really hope there's a kick from this team.
