Replying To TheUsername: "Be confident with Jamsie and Con, but think we're goosed without, the forward line doesn't purr without Con. Be 50/50 with them. That said, though they have a couple of good players, i dont think Kerry are a great team, an All Ireland will be a great boost and settler for them and they could kick on. Think the game will be a shoot out to be honest and without our star forward i think Kerry will have the best of it. If it were me i think Kerry are really poor at the back, loads of effort but not great and they foul in very strategic places in center filed to protect that line, think they are very suspect under high or early kicked ball, this would be a big part of the game plan if i was setting up the Dublin team. Type of game O Gara would have made chaos. We're a work in progress and a win would be a famous one, given our transition, im not expecting it, Kerry are further along in their development, id be dissapointed if i was them to loose this and i dont think they will." No doubt Dublin were moving well Very unlucky for them both getting injured They were both playing big parts as Captain and Vice Captain, if they are out then so be it. It's a great pity though, I was buzzed watching them, Con was in incredible form and Jamsie was every bit the Captain and playing well. Unfortunately though it's an impossible hole to fill given their stature and skills but they'll be replaced and then they go again, I can still see Dublin playing well but their absence will be obvious If they start then great but without them it's a Kerry win for me, could be convincing enough and a real team defining win on their way to another AI title jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20763 - 04/07/2022 12:26:08 2429608 Link

He has lnt posted on the Kerry forum in a long time either. Hope he OK. That's the thing about these forums is that people could be sick or been injured or worse and we never know.

Looking forward to this game, have a ticket for Lower Hogan. I think Kerry have more scope for improvement than Dublin. Their defence isn't great but it's much improved. Dublin improving game by game but not close to their mighty team under Gavin. McCarthy and O'Callaghan's return a big plus for them but no doubt O'Connor has plans for them. David Moran with a game under his belt is a big boost for Kerry both as a leader and improves that midfield. Where will Paudie Clifford play? Kerry need to keep the scoreable frees count down with Dean Rock in such great form. They're under more pressure but will be the hungrier team and Jack O'Connor on the line I'll think they'll win by a point or two in a great game.

Interesting match. Is it just me or does it feel like there isn't the usual hype which would surround a Dublin Kerry semi-final? Maybe it's to do with the novelty factor of the other semi-final? Anyway, there's no doubt that Kerry & Dublin will have a major say in the destination of Sam Maguire this year. Dublin looked back in business in their Leinster campaign even if the opposition was feeble. They eased past Cork but didn't look to be at their fluid best without Con as their attacking focal point. As others have said already his inclusion or not this Sunday will have a major bearing on the outcome. If XG was a thing in Gaelic football, Dublin's would definitely be increased with Con playing. Kerry looked rusty against Mayo and they're maybe a wee bit fortunate they were facing a team missing their main attacking outlets through injury. They will feel that now is their time to deliver. I would say that there is more pressure on Kerry than Dublin. If Clifford is over his injury niggles I think that they will end their famine. But if Dublin can keep him bottled up the wait will go on. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9762 - 06/07/2022 11:28:45 2430047 Link

The dubs on downward spiral since 2019. Jack will ensure kerry make hay while the sun shines. F4 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 47 - 06/07/2022 13:57:58 2430092 Link

Won't be putting money on this one. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 06/07/2022 14:41:19 2430108 Link

O'Connor will have them primed for an almighty crack at the Dubs. Dublin would love nothing better than to prove everyone wrong though. They may not be as good as they were but they're still a formidable outfit. As McGuinness says, they have the best midfielder in the country, the best CHF and arguably the best FF (if fit). The supporting cast around those lads are hardly mugs either, so it'd be foolish to write them off. I just think it's Kerry's time. Galway/Derry will have something to say about that too of course. They'll be underdogs in the final against either Dublin/Kerry. But both have the tools to down either. A very enjoyable and interesting few weeks ahead.

Replying To mickcunningham: "the only hope kerry have is if con and james arent playing . if they are it will be a dublin rout" Kerry under Jack O'Connor aren't set up to get routed. James and Con played last year and Dublin lost to Mayo let's not forget. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 06/07/2022 15:31:13 2430120 Link
