But are you telling me that, isn't it brilliant that we have, that we have, oh, an under-20, an under-20 can play with a senior as well.

We're flogging them.

Kerry haven't won it in under 24 years.

One of the one years we could have won it, guess what?

Two fellas couldn't play it.

The point I'm saying is, the point I'm saying is, the structure we have at the moment is not working because we're flogging our elite players.

players at senior at under 20 and under 17 they're getting too many matches too many games too much training we need to spread it out I just I don't think I don't think that where you're putting it in the calendar is a solution now to be honest I think it's potentially making it worse I'm throwing it I'm throwing it off the top of my head

The point I'm making, and I still hold by it, is that the present structure still is unfair.

It's unfair on the elite players.

I would give Kerry's performance last Sunday...

Probably a six out of ten.

They operated for long spells in second and third gear.

But at the same time, they won comfortably without eight of the starting team from last year's All-Ireland.

And to be perfectly honest, bar a couple of minutes at the start, when Cork scored a couple of those two-pointers and they went into a five-point lead.

But in that first half, Kerry...

We're playing against the wind, but I just thought they're in control.

They're playing the game on their terms.

I just thought their game management, their decision-making, they had 56% possession in that first half.

Their shooting efficiency in the first half was 71%.

I thought their attacking play was very good.
