GAA: Preview

I'M seriously concerned for Tyrone today because they're going to have their hands full - even if Kerry have been billed as no hopers by some.

Kerry have gone from being All-Ireland favourites six weeks ago to outsiders now and that's a crazy situation considering the amount of talent they have at their disposal.

Just look at their bench where Johnny Crowley and Aodan MacGearailt will be waiting to pounce.

Kerry will be absolutely loving it because their poor second-half against Roscommon in the quarter-final gives them a massive incentive to prove themselves against Tyrone which I think they will.

Don't get me wrong, Tyrone are a class act, but Kerry showed against us in the Munster final that they'll punish any mistake you make.

Midfield will be crucial. If Sean Cavanagh can plough through the middle like he has been doing all year then Tyrone will have a huge advantage. The thing is Sean has not met someone like Dara O Se yet and Dara is awesome.

He was injured against us, but he has had a few extra weeks of training behind him which will stand to him.

We'll see a different Dara O Se against Tyrone and I believe we'll also see a different Kerry from the side that played Roscommon.

My verdict: Kerry
