Appearances
Over the years of my experience with them, initially,
they aped what the Bison and the Ulster were doing, and it was the hand passing, the shot passing.
And then Jack sort of put his imprint on development squads and said, right, let's focus on Kerry football, on the Kerry brand of football, with a greater emphasis on kicking.
Right, so that was good.
I just felt, in my experience, a lot of the coaches that suddenly were appointed as coaches of development squads
Some of them weren't really top class coaches.
Some of them were appointed because they happened to be a manager of a successful underage club team, which didn't necessarily make you a top coach.
But the biggest gripe I found about it with a lot was with the coaches.
And I remember having somebody involved in a monster blitz at under 14 level.
And there was 23 young lads selected for Kerry South.
You have Kerry South, Kerry North, Cork South, Cork City.
And I remember it was played in Rakeel.
And it was a blitz involving six or eight matches with a final.
Interior, great idea.
You bring 23.
They all get experience of playing top-class football.
But what happened at that blitz that I was there was that you took off, okay, the good players after.
And then suddenly the opposition went in the lead.
And what was happening?
They were bringing the players, the good players who they'd taken off, they were bringing them back on.
