But I think Shane Ryan is a huge absence there for the range of his kickouts.
And obviously, he has that fielding ability as well.
And you saw that in the league final.
But Gavin White, look at Gavin White's impact in the All-Ireland final last year, the pace that he cuts through.
Sean O'Shea for his leadership.
If you look at the Donegal league game,
Kerry Donegal league game up in Ballyshannon Sean O'Shea put his team on his back that day and carried them to a respectable result four points as it was at the time
And obviously around the fringes, you have Bruno Begley only coming back.
He could bring in Paul Ganey and Thomas Sullivan, who didn't play in the All-Ireland final last year, but obviously was showing up really well in the league until the latest injury.
Paulie Clifford, obviously outplayed by Finn Barorti in that matchup that has been brewing since earlier this season.
When...
When Donegal put Finbar Rorty on Ryan O'Donoghue in their third league game.
You could see straight away that there was road testing.
And it's the clearest admission that last year, the way Finbar Rorty tracked Pauly Clifford, I mean, you're looking at it back and you see Pauly Clifford and Finbar Rorty going one way.
And the play go on the other.
It just tracked him everywhere.
So that was the clearest admission that last year was a mistake not to put someone on him.
And even to change it after 15 or 20 minutes when it was clear what is obvious or it was obvious what his influence was going to be.
if they play again you just think it's on him just to I think I think to get into it more and be more aggressive and to draw fouls from Finbar Rorty as much as possible I think that's what he has to do but Finbar Rorty might just be and he's only in his second season but he might just be the best tackler in the game yeah
Like, if Sean O'Shea is on the pitch, if Joe O'Connor's on the pitch, if Gavin White's on the pitch... Mike Breen would be one of the biggest playmakers, and he was in last year's All-Ireland Final, and he was on Saturday too.
