Kerry will make managers think again

If there’s one saving grace about Kerry winning yet another All-Ireland title, it’s that not everyone will race to replicate them.

The Kingdom don’t do moulds. Sure, there is plenty to draw from them, but no one fundamental attribute. They have become too chameleon-like for that.

So unlike previous years, there will be no stampede for early morning training sessions or double-quilted blanket defences. No rush to play cavalier football nor urgency to fill a team with a platoon of six-foot plussers.
