"Kerry are, wait for this, away to Dublin, away to Mayo, away to Tyrone and away to Monaghan. "Add to that, they have a staggering 19 players out through injury - as was reported in The Irish Examiner - and add to that, they are reported to be giving a lot of young lads a run. Let's be honest, Kerry are in transition, they need to see these fellas because Fitzmaurice saw a few in the league last year but didn't use all that many in the championship. "So, like, you could almost make an argument that Kerry could struggle in this league."That statement was met with disagreements from both Stevie McDonnell and Conan Doherty, but Parkinson pressed on. He listed the big names that are currently out injured or struggling to get their full fitness back, including the likes of Donnchadh Walsh, Johnny Buckley, Tadhg Morley, David Moran and Kieran Donaghy. McDonnell, who enjoyed many a battle with The Kingdom in his Armagh days, pointed out that Fitzmaurice has a good crop of young players at his disposal and just needs a few to grasp their league opportunities to make another decent run at the Sam Maguire this summer. The final rub may lie somewhere in between. Kerry do have four tricky away fixtures and they will be blooding several new faces over the coming months but if the likes of Seán O Sé and David Clifford can bring some of their underage form to the senior party, they could yet retain their league title. That is what makes Kerry's journey one to definitely watch these next, potential, eight months.
