You know, I couldn't do any changes tactically there.

I couldn't bring any players in off the bench there to make a huge change in the momentum of that game.

So he's saying, like, the players are just flat.

The players' energies were just flat.

And it can be fluffy and up there in the air, but that's what I would see the major thing from a manager point of view looking in going, well, what would you have changed there yesterday?

Even if you had Paddy Clifford, what would you have changed?

How would it have made a difference?

And the thing is, it's down to the players on the pitch, do you know?

So if you don't have the foundation of them getting the yards in, you know, making sure they're getting the tackles in, getting the hits in, like they did last year in the All-Ireland Final, well, then the rest doesn't really matter.

The personnel doesn't matter.

You know, it's... You could bring on...

David Clifford do and he'll give you if he was on the bench and he'd give you energy but he still wouldn't have changed the game there's no player that would change that momentum the way it was that's in my opinion I don't feel that it was one kind of chess move in the whole game there was so many fours to put out So you think if Pauly had started Finbar already might have started as well Yeah I think

I'd say if Kerry won yesterday, you'd be saying Kerry possibly are going to... Donny Gall give them a good rattle, but Kerry are going to probably be the favourites again.

Now you're saying there's loads of variables that feed into your answer.

It's one of those ones where you go, I actually don't know.

Donny Gall now have the one up, now this year, kind of go, right, we know how to do this.

We just have to...

make sure we have this and maybe some more and Kerry are going right yous are the ones looking to take your scalp you know you're looking to take your crown here we want yous now so that's where I think it gets very interesting but if you were to say right if you look at the rest of the other teams maybe the next three who out of the next three can play like Donegal Armagh Armagh are the only ones

is an issue getting inside the 20 metre line and not converting those passes You must think then Dublin must be up there considering Dublin nearly bet Armagh towards the end of the game obviously they came back and bet them then Dublin must be up there then as well I have Dublin a little bit off that pace right now I think Dublin and

Donegal and Kerry.
