So a lot of that came together and

on top of that, general fatigue, yes, they were off, but off by as much as they were, that's what they really delve into.

Yeah, and he raised the issue of the three club championships in Kerry, or the three championships, the district championship, the club championship and the county championship that they all contribute.

And this is nowhere else.

And he beats that drum quite often that after Kerry players play with their clubs, they have to play with their

clubs or their districts in the county championship and then go off and into uh mid carry or south carry or uh east carry championships and whatever else but i think the players the carry players would have been quite sparing in their involvement in some of those district championships i don't have the the numbers for who played what with their districts but obviously the dingle players had uh had an extended campaign um he intimated dunny gall were were uh

at it training early and they probably were and that's probably a year round cycle for them and it shows in their movement they're an extremely athletic team and Kerry probably just aren't up to that level of athleticism just yet The main protagonist yesterday wasn't playing in terms of Paddy Clifford from last year's All-Ireland Final he was talking about so much and what Donegal did or didn't do like if he's playing yesterday say everything's the same but he's fit and he's playing what do you think that game looks like?

Down the line that I think probably Donegal are planning for Paulie Clifford with Finn Barorti based on some of the matchups in the league, particularly Ryan O'Donoghue in the Mayo game.

Donegal won that well.

It was the third league game in Leverett County.

And Finbar Rorty picked up Ryan O'Donoghue and did pretty well on him that day.

And I think he's tailor-made for the type of game that Poddy plays.

So I think he would be the player that they would detail for that.

I think they'll go whenever they meet again, and I think they will meet again, but they'll go with three.

They'll mark three players.

And I think Sean O'Shea will be marked as well.

i don't know if they're as efficient no i agree probably next but they're not as efficient as efficient in in terms of closing out moves and and and getting but but that's the one thing i'm i struggle with this year in terms of in terms of athleticism in terms of their physical approach i think they're they're right up there with kerry but agreed i think finishing uh

Probably Mayo and Galway are next, but I would have Kerry, Donegal and Armagh a little bit ahead of the rest.

I think the two of them are on their own at the minute.

I thought Armagh were very consistent this year.
