I would actually play Morgan out field for a half and thus free Conn to ruffle more feathers.
Clfford has signature moves. Runs parallel to cross field lines 13 20m double loops out then in from corners and his strange stretch out leg shooting styles add (McGuigan had dummy solo) Clifford has extra tight bounce. I hope all 10 from half down have studied all the videos and run the computer games. O'Connor a narky tank get him on a run and tip him into a flag or post by 'accident'. Also cut the feed wing backs in particular carrying into zone. The 50m free space Kerry wing back got in the approach up their left in the build up to their goal in semi last must NOT be allowed under any circumstance and wing forwards must track Kerry carriers and be super fit and Seanie O'D would that job.
This is doable with belief and Ricey Gormley spirit (2points down 2008 and "now we have them".) They can be out psyched if we stay tall, loud and cool.

Clifford has signature moves!! Then why has nobody been able to stop him??

Cormac Quinn needs utilised in a marking role - done excellent on Conaty.

Joey is too small for both Clifford and P Geaney so realistically only man he can take is Dylan Geaney in the FFL

If Seanie o Shea starts then who do they drop? Sure not Paudie Clifford

If Seanie O'Shea plays then Kerry have a half forward line of +6' men who are physically in great shape and could cause problems especially in the air

I expect a tight game for 55/60 minutes then the Kerry bench having an impact and winning by 4/5 points.

Anything worse will leave mental damage

Watch Mayo game back. Only for a freakshow McCurry display and v stupid Mayo finishing we would already be out.

Has feel of playing old Dubs side in 2018 final. Need a man lined to have any hope, even then not sure Malachy has a plan for that.

They need to die with boots on and push every minute as its likely last game of year. Need to embrace the pantomine villain role and rile them, that could backfire though.

I thought the attitude was fairly good v mayo but the forward quality was v poor against an open mayo side. Jordan and Donnelly offered no danger along with Mcelholm who played so far from goal. Daly and Seanie tried but need to raise their game to new levels at the weekend.

Feeling Oguz and Ben McDonnell may have seen plenty of game time if they were fit.

Theres too much improvement that needs to happen & huge lack of depth.

Every time mattie gets ball he goes back out field, v little threat of penetration.

Hopefully if they enjoy themselves a bit and try to be creative a few goals will come. Need to take big risks, hope to be in touch by half time and really come out riled up to win third quarter.

Get one of their big men booked early, make Jack consider subbing as 15 vs 14 is a massive shift.

Agree with the sentiment here, think we can keep in a game up to half time anyway - Armagh never should have went in 6 down on Saturday, they were playing the better stuff for large spells and the second goal killed them. But when it really comes to the crunch, the difference in bench quality and 2 point threat will kill us. As poster above said, feels like Dublin 2018, might be able to keep it to 5 or 6 but probably never look like winning the game. Same as last year.  I hope I'm wrong but cannot see it!

Jesus lads, let's be a little optimistic.  I know its an uphill task but ye never know.  Tyrone do have the advantage of being fresher.  The longer they can stay in it, the better

think we are 2-3 years away from beating Kerry but would loved to be proven wrong on Saturday.

Based on form to date it isnt gonna happen. Scoring efficiency last day. brutal, no goal against Mayo

Armagh 1 goal B McDonnell
Roscommon 3 goals Cassidy, McElholm, Mattie
Mayo 0 goals

Tyrone need at least 2 Vs Kerry.

Maybe they are flat out kicking and tuning that up. Better be.

Last year V Kerry the 2nd half wides into Canal end were atrocious

Quote from: DaleCooper on June 23, 2026, 11:44:54 AMIt will come down to how many of younger lads handle occasion. Cassidy looked excellent, Jordan was poor last day. McElholm was super last year but petered out in 2nd half.

Lets hope there are no howlers and they give it a good rattle.

It is our All Ireland final, no point pretending otherwise.

Not sure how much you can change at this stage, big McHugh maybe useful. Conn has to do his thing, more important out field

Kerry love the ball into square from 2.pt efforts, that tactic could work with big lads.



McHugh will have to be considered. Kerry had 4 recognised midfielders against Armagh. They want to dominate kickouts but if Tyrone start with a half forward line with O'Donnell and Daly we won't compete and could get annihilated.

O'Donnell was one of few bright sparks in our most recent meetings with Kerry. as for Daly I think he has really come along this year in particular and Malachy wont be moving him anywhere.

McHugh against Armagh did something I've seldom seen him do for the Fianna getting involved and actually winning ball. In all honesty I don't think there is a player there. I'd be more than happy for him to prove me wrong but I also don't want him to be thrown to the wolves in a game like this.

If he is to come good it'll be next year or two with plenty of McKenna cup and league minutes. Even saying that he would have to play like a man possessed to even be an option in last 15-20 for Conn or Brian.

Hold. Good tickets always released end of week. Initial rush gets rid of 90% of the crap tickets.
