And I thought, Sean, you should have just grabbed that small little thing.
But it just says to me, maybe he's still not where he needs to be.
But he was exceptional yesterday for somebody coming back from that level of a layoff.
He's watching his buddy Fintan having so much cracks since he finished, I'd say.
Even this year coming back, the way he was carrying the fight all the time, just bull take under a high ball, under a kick out and stuff like that.
He's constantly competing with fellas who are taller than him and he always finds that little radius around himself where the ball just drops into him.
Just massive strength, proper decision making, everything.
He was the full package.
I remember
coming across him when he just after having his cruciate operation that time he appeared in a show I mean I couldn't believe that he showed up for it because he would have been under pressure like you know but he was doing it for the Gaeilge for the Irish language you know and he didn't need to be doing things like that and that I would say he's kind of that's the kind of individual he was great hurler great footballer and I would have often spoken of him down in Kerry as an example of a fella that turned away from the the the
the Aussie rules and the temptation and you can say each their own and all that like but I mean the glory that he brought upon himself by just staying at home and look obviously he was part of something special but he was very much you know central to what was special for so long like even down in National League game there last year in Tralee like I watched him it was a howling wind and he was just killing us on kick outs you know on our own kick out harassing fellas out of the way and just winning the ball as I said he still has it you know
I'm not going to go into the business of talking them up, you know, until, you know, it's almost like kind of taunting them.
I don't think Andy Moran was dead right over the weekend.
know I've been asked about how to handle the hype was that it yeah I felt sorry for John in a way like you know but it was a question that and Jack O'Connor was fine and spiky as well after the game you know and I understand for the two of them look they're looking ahead fairly quickly may or good like and you know if there's they can't carry the burden I mean
go back 30 years Mayo beat us in an All-Ireland semi-final the following year then we're playing them in an All-Ireland final and there's all this you know talk even back then oh that they had done this and this and this best team wins and the team that loses isn't always that far behind either you know and it's been it's that simple over the years like you know the
They've been absolutely disparaged down in Kerry, all over the country in 2004, 2006.
People outside the county telling us that we had won softball Ireland because we had beaten Mayo.
It's totally disrespectful stuff like, you know.
And, you know, Kerry people are well able to sock it on and stuff like that when that happens.
And it's disrespectful to them that we beat, Kerry beat them in the league at the end of the league this year and gave them a right pounding.
