Cork’s kick-out strategy made no sense at all

MAYBE it was a double bluff by Kerry. After all they invented all that stuff.

But you have to wonder with so much talk about Kerry’s midfield deficiencies before yesterday’s Munster final, did Cork get sucked into a counter-tactic of ignoring their own midfield strengths?

Why else would Cork devise a kick-out strategy which put the ball within reach of the most dangerous set of forwards playing inter-county football. Surely if you have a dominant midfield and you want to limit the involvement of the opposition attack, the last thing you do is ignore the former and involve the latter?
