Kerry have the best kickout strategy for opponent kickouts in the country by miles and Dublin showed that Cork can't get the ball out of their own half when pressed. Ken O'Halloran can't kick the ball past the 45 most of the time and Cork are woeful contesting the ball between the 45s.
I expect Kerry to win this game at a canter. They were asleep against Tipp and yawned their way to a decent win. They'll be primed for Cork and I would expect a 7 point win minimum frankly. Cork are a match for almost anyone from 10-15 but 1-9 they are Division 2 standard. Fully expect a handy Kerry win. Tomas O'Se wasn't wrong.
That being said I still think O'Se must have had a stroke or something because in 120+ years of the GAA no Kerryman has ever talked up his team before. Fuck it when ye were on for 5 in a row there were lads giving it the old "ah yerra sure they've a few summers in the now, tough to keep it going like". I'd say Fitzmaurice felt like skinning him alive when he heard those comments.
