But they've shown that there's things that they were cut out on tactically.
Because I still maintain that Kerry's game plan was brilliant in last year's All-Ireland Final.
and totally exposed Donegal but they've shown McGuinness has shown that even if he doesn't listen to anybody unless they've won you know 40 All-Irelands or Black Belt in Judo or whatever he said
He has himself seen what everybody else saw when they looked at the All-Ireland final last year and made the corrections himself.
the 40 should go back as a league final they won't go back just one thing that wasn't hugely picked up on afterwards just looking back again last night that kind of struck me was and I don't think the possession stats in Gaelic football are necessarily that indicative of anything but in the first half yesterday
Kerry had 30% of the ball.
Now, in the average Gaelic football match, the ball is in play for about 17 minutes per half, something like that.
So, like, 30% of 17 minutes is like five minutes of the entire half that they had the ball.
So I don't necessarily think that it wasn't that Kerry weren't dangerous.
It was just that it didn't have the ball to be dangerous.
And then the stuff that I think a lot of us expected to see in last year's All-Ireland Final, the Donegal pace...
They were able to use it because they had the ball.
So the number of times where trying to get out of defence, they just set up one-on-ones and there might be somebody blowing past Sean O'Shea, who had a brilliant league and is a brilliant footballer, but isn't the quickest turning around going back to his goal.
And they just got the ball out so easily.
But it comes back to this thing and it's come into focus this year because of Ciarán McGeaney and Piggery and everything else.
But winning the ball is everything now.
Donegal pinned a Kerry team who didn't have the same energy for the game in for eight kickouts in a row and got loads of scores at that and killed the game.
And that's sort of all the defensive systems and all the, you know, like Kerry, they switched marker.
They didn't have McColl on Clifford, such as that.
They didn't score a two-pointer in the last year's All-Ireland final.
