I don't think they'll fall into that trap and I think even the way Ben O'Connor spoke about Offaly after the match, I think his total focus is transfixed on Offaly and I think that's a good starting point and I think, look,

There'll obviously be still elements of hurt there after losing that Munster final.

I think from a Cork point of view, I think it's no disrespect to Offaly.

I think it's a great fixture for Cork in knowing that, right, if we bring our levels, we win this match all day long.

But if there's any bit of a drop-off, I mean, there's no better county

you know, in the country to smell a bit of, a bit of any air of complacency where if they can stay in the match and they can bring it down to home straight and if they can get that awfully support behind them, you know, what's to say that, you know, the David versus Goliath, you know, result couldn't happen, couldn't happen again for a second year in a row.

But I think this, this lies largely at Cork's door.

If Cork bring,

their levels and if they bring their A game they win this match all day long but if they're any way off it it could become a tricky it could become a tricky assignment for them and it might go into might go down the home straight where they possibly still will win the match because you know they just have they just have the firepower up top lads and I'd say you probably will see a couple of changes this weekend Tim O'Mahony is out

Tommy O'Connell is out.

Yeah, well, it might be a good opportunity then to bring in someone like me, Al Mullins, or bring in... He played club last weekend, didn't he?

Yeah, and so did he.

So did he tell me.

So it might be a good opportunity to maybe...

throw one of them in and maybe as I said I spoke about last week lads it might be it might be a good opportunity for Ben O'Connor to say to one or two of his forwards that are not bringing it fully in games to say right you know what you're going to sit this one out and maybe start start a Seamus Harnedy or start you know one or two one or two other forwards that are putting their hand up and hand up and training and

Then saying to those other fours, one or two fours that you might be dropping, saying, right, how much do you want to get back into the team for a potential semi-final and a potential final?

They have the firepower, lads.

I mean, and they'll be very encouraged by their meeting two years ago.

I think they scored 390.

So, Michael, they're obviously in bonus territory now, so, like, apparently...
