Just heard Kielys post match interview there, what the fuck has him so rattled? Is he afraid that complacency will set in?

Pitiful

2029

I’m fucking disgusted to be honest with you. I just don’t get it. We will get fucking destroyed in the middle third.

Lehane and Dalton starting together is absolutely laughable. You cam carry one but not both.

No Power, no Robbie, no Tim. What the fuck are they at?

2030

I seen it from early doors. I will say no more.

You left out Hoggy

They will hardly line out that way? Cahalane/Downey and Millerick to swap? Dalton to 14, Fitz to wing forward and Meade midfield?

Otherwise it is a terribly balanced team

2033

What is the Cork side

2034

I presume Robbie isn’t 100%? Surely be starting otherwise

2035

He’s been back for 5 weeks. No reason not to start him.

What about Kingston?

2039

He’s coming back from a nasty hamstring.

I don’t know what lads are crying about to be honest. It’s along what you’d expect. ROF for Lehane would be my only really gripe

Hard to believe Cork are favourites.

It’s a slightly odd team tbh, I wonder how they will actually line out?

Because Meade isn’t a corner-forward. I know he’s played there but he does his best work out around the middle. Barrett, similarly, had been doing well around half-forward.

So could we see Lehane inside? Dalton even?

Roche is probably the player who can allow Fitzgibbon get forward and not necessarily worry too much about defensive duties because Fitz doesn’t really want to know about that side of the game. But then would Roche & Meade with Fitzgibbon at 11 be a better balance?

And it could be a complete dummy team, you’d imagine ROF starts ever day of the week if fully fit.
