But that was a very obvious thing that they did.
The other thing that they did was the kick out.
Do you remember last year when Michael Murphy was chasing Paul Murphy into the corner when he was chasing Jason Foley into the corner doing shuttle runs all day.
This time Donegal basically set up with their quicker men inside on the press and they also marked Zonal.
So it forced Kerry into midfield
with nearly all the kicks.
And once they got there, they had Hugh McFadden and they had Jason McGee in there.
And I think they won eight kickouts in a row in the first half, and that was the winning and losing of the game.
So to me, they were the two big tactical changes from last year.
They went kind of man-on-man defensively, but managed to generate a plus one, which is the key, really.
Like, if you have a plus one, it gives you that...
it gives you that luxury that you're able to be aggressive in how you defend instead of passive.
And then they protected Murphy and their big men by going kind of zonal.
Now, in some cases, they had five people because Kerry were trying to drop men back to get their kickouts away quickly.
But those two things are completely opposed to what they did last year.
So, you know...
whatever Jim McGinnis said he kind of maintains that he didn't do anything wrong last year and they didn't even tweet that much yeah like at one stage in his press conference yesterday he was asked about the Gavin Mulroney thing the goalkeeper stepping up to basically play full back and he said well like you know some of that was just like Gavin Mulroney taking it on himself and I'm like
But they played their hand.
I suppose that's the thing now.
And it's not that they're definitely going to play that way this year or even if they play against Kerry again.
