But the minute he came out, he's not afraid to lift the head and give a kick pass.

And that's the other thing.

And you have talked about it, Pat.

In Kerry football, it's bred into you.

Kick first.

This past second, solo third.

Move the ball quick.

And you can see that when the kick passes on, the Kerry players, they look up and they make yardage quickly.

And it's not slow play.

Not always.

They don't always do it.

But when the opportunity is there, they'll kick, they'll misalign, they'll get the ball forward into the space.

And that's when the Cliffords and that have space to play with.

And all the boys are willing to back themselves.

So, listen...

It's been well said already at this stage in terms of their panel and their injuries.

The key thing is that they've got to get these boys back because they're going to claim higher up the mountain and you're going to get teams that are, you know, there's other teams dealing with injuries, but you can't be going to Croke Park in five or six weeks' time missing, what did you say, nine of last year's?

You need to get half a dozen of those back, Pat, even though the new lads come back.

So that's the key thing now.

It's managing his panel.
