Tadhg Morley prime example of altered Kerry approach, says Pat Spillane
Morley was superb at centre-back in the county’s Division 1 final win over Dublin, although Spillane says his versatility can make him useful in more advanced positions.
“Outside of the fact that they’re laying down a marker (in the league this year), Kerry were conservative for the last two years and that wasn’t playing to Kerry’s strengths. Tadhg would get the ball at right (half) back and his only contribution with the ball was to pass it to the fella sideways and point to somebody. There was fear in them, it was safety first. There was no attacking. Now, he’s his own man and this is the one big change. I think Éamonn Fitzmaurice has got the balance right between defence and attack and now they’re off the leash.”
