Now that the dust has settled after last Sunday's match, next up is Monaghan in Fitsgeralds Stadium at the slightly earlier time of 1/30pm. Monaghan too is coming off the back of a defeat. Does anyone know if JOC will have a stronger hand to pick from or will he continue to experiment. I think that he should continue and see who will put their hands up and grab the opportunity when it arises.

This carry on of getting a 5 or 5 point lead and then throw it away has to stop. It was a big feature of Jacks last time in charge and has come back in again

Well beaten in the end. Could name 5 players who should be dropped from the panel. Not good enough

Good game lads. Was another very exciting contest.

Fair play to all the supporters who travelled up for a very early game.

Please never say again that Kerry aren't cynical, aren't sleekid with dirty hits and don't do the dark arts in football.

Tyrone really do rattle Kerry. Kerry aren't having a good league but I would have expected them to beat an out of form Tyrone today. Worrying.

Shouldn't you be more worried about Antrim?

Replying To The_Fridge:  "Who?"
Okunbur, Shane Murphy, Pa Warren, Micheal Burns, Dylan Casey,

Think Tony Brosnan as well. He has had enough chances at this stage

Kerry do have a mental block about Ulster teams. They erased the Dublin bogey last year in Croke Park in AI semi-final.

Still think that they need to defeat an Ulster side particularly Tyrone at the business end of the championship (Knockout and not super 8's or round robin system) to remove all doubts.

They beat them twice in semi finals in 2015 and 2019.

And lost to a poor Tyrone team in 2021.
Might have beaten a poor Tyrone side in those years as well but ended season without SAM.
Tyrone victories over Kerry in the championship is usually followed by SAM

Kerry have already beaten Tyrone at semi final stage over the past few years.

I think far too much is made of the Kerry vs Tyrone thing, in as far as a mental block goes. I actually think it is the opposite scenario. It is Kerry who generally bring out the best in Tyrone. We tend to raise our game significantly when we play Kerry.

Even when we were beaten by Kerry in 2015 and 2019, we still played really well and possibly could have won on both games.

Unfortunately for Kerry they will somehow have to beat Tyrone en-route to winning an All Ireland for the narrative to change.

Watched all the games during the weekend and again last night.
Kerry have too many players not producing. Paul Murphy is the best of the backs. Morley and O'Sullivan struggling. Warren lost at the moment.
No midfield. Barry does not the energy.
There are too many "nice" players in the forwards who do not have a steady impact on the game......Brosnan, Moynihan, Roche, Burns. These are all brilliant club players but county is a different level entirely.
Where were the Spillanes testerday? They usually contribute.
Finally it seems the no Kerry footballer can field a ball over his head.

So if Kerry beat a team and don't win Sam the team they beat are poor? Also that poor Tyrone side that beat Kerry in 21 won Sam. Not bad for a poor team.

Dylan Casey was nt playing yesterday and has nt got enough of game time to be judged properly. Tony Brosnan was probably Kerry s 2nd best forward yesterday after Ó Shea.

Okunbor is very raw, he's not at the standard required at the moment but there's potential there.

Murphy has gone back this year he was better in other years. Keep him as number 2 this year because he has experience but I think it would be wise to identity a new keeper and bring him into training with the view of being number 2 next year.

I don't understand why Warren is getting so many chances. He had a poor county championship last year and is way off it physically.

Burns is limited but in fairness can be good coming on last 10 minutes to close out a game.

Dylan Casey I rate, he has done very well with nearly every chance he has been given. He should have been given more game time in recent games.

Tony Brosnan isn't a starter but is undoubtedly one of the top 5 inside forwards in the county along with Clifford, Geaney, Killian Spillane and Donal O'Sullivan.

No they do not. Last weekend's result was a result of Tyrone being desperate for the win, and having endured some serious criticism recently, especially inside the county. Tyrone needed the win more than Kerry did. People losing the run of themselves if they're reading too much into league form.

Some say every All-Ireland Kerry have won was because they only played "poor" teams.
