Just on our defensive frailty yesterday, a lot of calls for playing with a sweeper. We did actually drop back Paul Murphy there in the final ten minutes and looked a lot tighter. Would have a lot of question marks of Fitzmaurice for not doing it earlier even for spells. Murphy wasnt stuck to that role he just provided cover when required and he's a good reader of the game so would know when to do so.
Also on James O'Donoghue. Twice in two games Barry John Keane has come on for him in two games and scored with his first touch and it's bad enough he was taken off twice. The only solace we can take is that he is not 100% but why he still be chanced if he's not, just ends up hammering his confidence. We need him firing if we have any hope, Geaney is top class but he alone won't win an All-Ireland.
I find after these big title bouts people are far too quick with their summation of either side, next week's match will likely take on a totally different form again and there will be grand change of opinion also. Kerry were very close to beating Dublin in last year's league final we have beaten them in Croke Park in a final this year. Mayo were very close to beating Dublin twice no less than 12 months ago and were just as good as them and even held Dublin scoreless in the first 20 minutes of the drawn match.
There is very little between these sides, very recent record has show that and isn't it a great thing to look forward to
