Donegal v Kerry - 2025 All-Ireland Football Final

[trileacman]

I favour Kerry, just think they've more football in them than Donegal. Whilst McGuinness is a very good coach I think winning an AI with this group of players will be a step too far.

With respect to them, you could be forgiven for having thought that about Armagh.

Personally I'd take Armaghs squad over Donegals squad. 1-9 Donegal are as good as anybody but there's a few holes in their selection from 10-15.

It's all about opinions, fair enough. I'd respectfully disagree.

Donegal have no forwards. How many of them would make Kerry team?

The likes O'Baoill and Gallen peaked in opening league games.

Would expect the two Clifford's and O'Shea to put up massive tallies. O'Shea never misses from frees either. 3 best forwards in game. With 2 pointers could be 30 points between them tomorrow.

Seam O'Brien and Mark O'Shea have cleaned out Armagh and Tyrone in the middle with Joe O'Connor playing as third midfield. Can't see Donegal getting near them trio.

As you have said, Kerry haven't even lined out 6 forwards.
Dylan Geaney & Graham O'Sullivan don't make the combined 6. So, Donegal break even there.

I have a paper ticket from the club. Very much looking forward to the game.

Really? I think the 2 O'Donnells are seriously underrated and very good forwards, Gallen when he's on it is top class, Thompson is a huge threat from 2 pointers and Moore a serious player as well, Murphy not the player he was or is being hyped up to be in the media but is still a top top player, McBrearty worth a few scores off the bench as well.

If O'connor, Moyihan, P Graney were there i say Keery be favourites. With them not there, it's a 50/50 game. The Kerry Midfield i literally hadn't heard of them before the start of the championship.

Same here but they tore us apart in the middle, Murnin, Rian, Crealy and Grimley are all fantasic fielders but were cleaned out against Kerry.

It really doesn't matter where exactly in the rankings Donegals player come, many are playing out of their skins utterly convinced they will beat Kerry in an All Ireland final.

Donegal have had a long campaign, now with rest but two weeks isnt much time for detailed planning and rehearsals. Problem for Jim.

Hes essentially gotten a Fiat Punto remapped to take on the likes of Porsche.

Donegal have to keep Murphy edge of the square for 70 mins. Nothing else works.

He be in Jason Foley or Mike Breen back pocket.

Austin Stacks have announced victory parade is Tralee Monday night.  Now that is a a sign of confidence.

Read during the week in Examiner ,Kerry had suits sorted day after Tyrone game and Burlington booked 7 months ago.

Pat Spillane said Kerry lads were allowed a few pints after semi final but turned them down so could enjoy the victory pints after final.

I'll go Donegal 2-22 Kerry 1-20

Good job the Donegal lads read this forum. Plenty of motivation to chew on.

Would love to see them do it again , Kerry have enough and we definitely would have a strong case for another Irish Saint.

A draw would suit me lovely

Dun Eile is WUM if the Donegal lads didn't know that if they read this page they'd be pretty dumb
