No chance McNally will be dropped, if fit O'Neill has to go with the same starting XV. It will not only reward form and performance but allows us have impact from the bench with Cribben, Flynn, Dowling and if fit McCormack.

I'd understand either decision when it comes to both McNally and Slattery (possibly even Brophy) not starting. It would be harsh on any of them but do the great managers like Cody ever mind being harsh.

I think it would be crazy not starting McNally or Slattery. To compete with Dublin in Croke Park we need pace. Those two lads have gears and they're both comfortable tracking back.

I could understand if we started Cribbin instead of Moolick.
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

Kildare even poaching Dubs for their Masters games now!

No changes officially anyway which is fair enough.

They can have Noel Casey in return, it would make the hurling and football fields of Kildare a lot safer  :)

You should've seen the first draft of his statement

Gavin has done well to cause problems for O'Neill with the match ups if the Dublin team lines up as it is. I'm less confident again.


Kilkenny may end up free, Mannion will get a run on Doyle who will be needed to mop up in front of O'Gara. Con O'Callaghan at wing forward will either drag Ollie Lyons out or there will be a mismatch in pace with Johnny Byrne.

Then again Niall Kelly could well end up free while there is nobody in the Dublin full back line capable of stopping Dan Flynn and  maybe Brophy.

Kildare have nothing to lose. They should try to impose their rhythm and see what happens. Up the flour bags.

That team won't start

It will still be well shy of what turned up in 09.

To be fair, it clashes with the Qatar Airways Minstrel Stakes in the Curragh.
If you were any use you'd be playing.
