Kerry v Armagh

[bennydorano]

Hopefully the unmerciful hiding that we thought Cork might deliver wont be delivered this weekend.  As regarding the Armagh team, the team that finished v Cork should be near enough our starting team, I'd really like to see Dyas drop back to 7 and F Mo dropped, I think he is a bit of a liability.  I'd be very suprised if Kingham gets the nod again, but with our options fairly limited and the performance of Mal Mackin v Cork I'd imagine he might get a chance at 14, if he doesn't take it I reckon he'll not feature again.  Because of the need for physicality we might see something like:

Geoghan
Mallon, donaghy, McKenna
Duffy, McKeever, Dyas
Vernon, Lavery
A Duffy, Mackin, MOR/Forker
Campbell, Kingham, C Rafferty.

Mackin is nailed on for midfield

Not at FF

Ah jaysus, coming down to Tralee and you want to drop you're only player with Kerry heritage?

Seriously though, we will field pretty much the same team, maybe Seán Sullivan will get the high road, not sure. Looking forward to it now...usually good hard games between us.

A long way to go for a pasting, although i hope the play like they did second half Sunday which should keep the score respectable.

But sure it'll be good craic! 

[Captain Obvious]

From Armagh point of view one would hope Kerry are more at ease after beating the Dubs, maybe Armagh will sneak in for another unexpected draw.

[Keane]

I certainly think Armagh have every chance to cover the spread, but I'd expect Kerry to get the result alright.

Hard to beat a weekend in Kerry.

Does anyone know if Niall Geoghegan is any relation to Billy?

[lawnseed]

Setanta One.

[bennydorano]

Very attack minded looking team there, mightn't be the right  option for this game thou, but after the dung that's been forced upon us these past few years it's good to see the change in emphasis.  There's a distinct lack of physicality in that forward line thou - Kerry are knaves & will try and batter the childer.
