Every time Kerry come to Inniskeen they talk about the 'tight narrow pitch'.
Pairc Grattan is 2m wider than the Fitz Stadium Killarney pitch. Perception trumps tape measure

Sunday will be about which team wants it the most.
The important thing for us is that we don't try to match Downs game, we did that during the first half when we met them in the league and we looked like headless chickens on the pitch. In the second half, we slowed our play and that frustrated Down.
Down are like a pack of terriers, completely fearless and they hunt for every ball and every play. I hope that Monaghan will have enough fire in their bellies for that quarter final spot because Down certainly will.
Any word on G Mohan?

Shore up the half back line, get McAnespie into half forward, keep Jack in reserve. You'd be concerned about midfield, Down could have the legs on Monaghan. McPhillips did well against them in the league however.
Lavelle and Mohan both doubtful.
Small margins.

Big loss. Midfield is still a huge worry even if it has been workman like since the donegal game. We need to go at down early and control the game to an extent. We don't want this becoming a chaotic game like 2017 were it was end to end. Down thrive on that. Monaghan are good enough to win this game by 4-6 points and I think they will to providing we get a 8/10s from ward Mc carthy bannigan O Hanlon.

Mohan pull the hamstring or dead leg?it's 2 weeks from Clare game & if we got to quarter finals in 2 weeks away that be month up.if it not the hamstring we could get 10 or 15 mins of him worst case senaerio play him at full forward with the 3 up.
Mohan will be a massive lost in our top 3 best players since he came back from injury.
Any word on lavelle?
