Indo Sport · Kerry edge Dublin, Mayo maul Louth, Wicklow climb the mountain | Philly McMahon & Colm Keys 🏐 · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

And again, in the second half, if Dublin were ahead a little bit and maybe that square ball gets given... Maybe Dublin are still staying in that structure and they're not getting as many scores.

Kerry having less scoring opportunities than their opposition means something was wrong with the forward line that they have.

So the idea that...

if you look at the first half, that David Clifford was quiet enough and also Gini was quiet, you're saying, you know what, this is working.

Strategically, we are in a good place defensively if you're Dublin.

So that's why I'm saying that was not the right way to play for Kerry.

They did not expose an inexperienced Dublin defence.

Because Dublin just set in and they had numbers, they just completely nullified any space around the two key threats in Guinea and in Clifford, David Clifford.

So when they changed that in the second half, with Paddy Clifford being more higher up the pitch, closer to goal, it made a huge difference.

Colm, I'd prefer him to get 100 touches outside that 45 metre line if I was keeping

It builds him into the game.

Yeah, but you're... And I have to say... There's two ways of going after him.

Obviously, Donegal has showed that going man-to-man can work also.

So I'm not actually completely wrong.

I'm not saying that's not, you know, that's not another way of doing it.

But...

But I would say what Dublin got right, if you look at, if Mayo are going to look at this Kerry set up, they're going to say, how do we keep Gini and David Clifford quiet?

It's stay compact, get bodies inside a certain zone.

And the thing will be, well, what happens then when Paddy Clifford gets the ball out around the day and he's trying to spray balls and he's trying to create problems?

Let him have it out there.
