Donegal v Kerry - 2025 All-Ireland Football Final

[JPO]

Im sorry if I come across as bitter, I'm not. I'm listened to bullshit from modern coaches and managers for years and watched how they have screwed thousands from clubs all over Ireland, While the volunteers were busting a gut raising money to pay for them. They are parasites 

[Captain Obvious]

Also can you please explain what you mean by shot selection?

What does crazy transitional mean?

Are you on the wind up, a little bit slow or combination of both?

[JPO]

Im simply saying how it is. Theres no call to insult me

I'd say a 6 year old would know what that means, what are you on about?

Have to agree... recent posts JPO you don't seem to have a clue what you're on about.

[JPO]

Well then perhaps you can explain what is meant by shot selection for a start? I'm only asking.

[Truthsayer]

Self explanatory!  A player's ability to recognize what is going on when in possession, know the shot options available and choose the best possible shot from all the information they have gathered... or move it to another player.

Players choose when and where to shoot. Managers like the two Jim's aim to get shots off as close to goal as possible to maximise efficiency [successful scores divided by attempts to score ]

Donegal ushered Meath into off centre two pointer shots knowing they would likely hit a few but more likely to miss.

That's the essence of "shot selection" but its well and good in theory. Comes down to individual skill/speed of thinking in attack, patience in build up.

Donegal keep passing in order to get a high percentage shot, rather than shooting at first opportunity.

You'll have to explain that one to that fella as well I'd say..

Yes that makes sense. Meath reached an All Ireland semi final by kicking long range points so that was good shot selection. Against Donegal they hit too many wides from long range so then it became bad sot selection?

This is a wind-up? 

[DaleCooper]

They encountered shrewd opposition who would force them into poor positions for taking shots.

A more experienced Meath would have anticipated this and altered course.

There is an element of cliché and buzz phrases but thats part of punditry forever.


One phrase I detest that everyone started using is "they'll take great LEARNINGS from this".

[JPO]

Just a young team. Great to watch though.

Meath scored no two pointer in their Quarter final win against Galway.  The beginning of the end of them in the semi final was their obsession with two pointers in the first half against Donegal. Shouldn't be lost on anyone that Kerry and Donegal scored just one two pointer each in their semi final wins.

Any 6 yr olds on here to explain what is meant by crazy transitional? It sounds great
