Have beaten nobody of note, have not played in a while, while Mayo are on a run and battle hardened after wins over Division One teams Monaghan and Kildare. ManofSkryne (Meath) - Posts: 4 - 13/06/2022 15:38:47 2424721 Link 0 |

I don't think Mayo have the forwards to cause damage! Tommy Conroy is a big loss

Division one or 2 is irrelevant. Dublin will be division 2 next year. Derry in division 4 a few years ago. Armagh in division 3 not too long ago.

Should be a great game, if Mayo start like they did against Kildare they'll be beaten before half time, if they play like they finished against Kildare it could get interesting. If you are going to beat Kerry the quarter final is the best chance when they are cold. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2756 - 13/06/2022 19:29:15 2424803 Link 0 |

Sounds easy when you say it fast. Don't worry the ex Kerry county star mafia will all come out in the next two weeks going all yerra yerra Going on about how Mayo have had hard matches that will stand to them and how Kerry wish they had a few hard matches and, "whoever wins will be well prepared for Dublin". It won't be as bad this year because Mayo have been so bad that Kerry won't be worried at all. The O Se's et al will have it hard to keep a straight face while talking Mayo's comeback win against a team that Dublin hammered. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1126 - 13/06/2022 19:57:13 2424816 Link 1 |

I think mayo just need to make sure they're solid at the back and concede as little as possible. Then when in possession we must attack and hopefully get plenty of scores. If we do that we have half a chance but easier said than done in fairness whiterbannnas (Mayo) - Posts: 2441 - 13/06/2022 19:58:34 2424818 Link 0 |

Mayo have nothing to lose and will relish having crack at Kerry. No one gives them a chance really particularly after league final. I think Kerry will win but will be exiting match and if Clifford was to go off injured early (which would easily happen) it would seriously upset Kerry. hopballref (Galway) - Posts: 378 - 14/06/2022 09:28:36 2424864 Link 0 |

Kerry won't be caught cold and will look to engineer an early goal or two, so I expect the kitchen sink will be thrown at the Mayo defense in the first 15 minutes. If Mayo stay solid and organised same as V Kildare where Rob Hennelly didn't have a save to make, then it's a question of dragging Kerry into a physical slug fest while staying close enough on the scoreboard to have a chance in the last 15 mins. If Kerry build up a head of steam early it'll be an easy win for them and I can't see Mayo doing the same in reverse based on what we've seen so far. Without ROD and Tommy Conroy the x-factor has been absent from Mayo's attack. I was hoping Carr would provide that bit of dynamism, but so far we've only seen the odd cameo. The bookies think Kerry should walk this game and I'm just hoping they'll be proven wrong. Pericles (Mayo) - Posts: 2521 - 15/06/2022 09:43:27 2425073 Link 0 |

I never agree with the "nothing to lose" view. Of course we have everything to lose. Players train all year and won't be thinking like that. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 15/06/2022 12:19:20 2425131 Link 5 |

We now know that Dublin had zero regard for the NFL this year so games they lost in that competition mean nothing. We also know that Mayo were not interested in going full tilt for the NFL Final, and that the Kingdom really wanted to win something as they would not have another real game until the QF. So Kerry have not had a real meaningful test since last years semi V Tyrone. Mayo on the other hand have had three full tilt games v Division 1 teams in the past 7 weeks. They improved and got more players back from injury with each game. The lost to Galway by a point, and won their last 2 while playing well below their best, and having had sluggish starts, only really got going late on in all three fixtures. Big days often bring out the best in them and I expect a massive game v Kerry. Yes, Its a big task, but this game will still be in the melting pot after 66 minutes.

Spillane says Kerry by 20 pulling up, Mayo have No Marquee Forwards. For me Mayo by 4 and O Hora man of the match. jacktheboy (Donegal) - Posts: 406 - 15/06/2022 19:44:14 2425243 Link 0 |

Not so sure about the first proposition. Think it was more a case that Dublin got a fright and realised that playing the sort of cautious system that worked in 2019 and 2020 was no longer going to cut the mustard. Hence the return to a much faster attacking game. Still not been tested against one of the top teams and won't be against Cork - no harm to them. Tyrone changed the narrative last year and Derry and Armagh have taken it up. Dublin have tried to. Not so sure about Kerry and Mayo although Mayo were impressive in closing out last weekend. Wouldn't be backing Kerry at the odds, that's for sure. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2584 - 16/06/2022 11:01:21 2425307 Link 0 |

Spillane is right and you are wrong. Kerry will bate Mayo a score a man.

Spillane said Mayo would nt win Sam this year. I don't even think he would make a stupid comment like that. Are you prone to exaggeration Jack?

Wow you seem to know everything about Kerry. You also stated on a post that Dublin and Kerry would get an easy draw that it was a grand conspiracy.

Stranger things have happened but i cant see it. Mayo just don't have the forwards to hurt Kerry. And Mayo aren't firing on all cylinders at the moment The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 16/06/2022 15:57:15 2425439 Link 0 |
