“This is the biggest test for Jim Gavin’s Dublin. Kerry are coming to wage war on the Dubs,” said Alan Brogan on this week’s Throw-In, Independent.ie’s Championship podcast.The former All Ireland winner was in studio alongside INM GAA correspondents, Frank Roche, Donnchadh Boyle, Conor McKeon and Michael Verney, along with Kerry legend, Tomás Ó’Sé.“Kerry have to go for it, they have to come up with something different and unless they do, they won’t win it,” said Ó’Sé. “Kerry need to brave and not be conservative. The sweeper system doesn’t suit us but I can see them clogging the middle and trying to put pressure on Cluxton’s kick-outs.”But if the Kingdom only leave six in defence will they be vulnerable to Dublin players storming through? All were agreed that Kerry have to spring a surprise and produce some special performances to overcome the reigning champions.And if Dublin do win to make it four straight victories over Kerry, what kind of soul-searching will go on in the Kingdom in the winter months ahead?"Don't forget," warned Brogan. "There's still question marks over Dublin's full-back line one-on-one. For all the talk of Dublin winning this game, Kerry have the forwards that can cause Dublin trouble."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"If Tipperary start the way the did against Galway they could be out of sight of Mayo by half-time," warned David Brady on this week's Throw-In podcast. "Mayo do well against the bigger teams against the likes of Dublin, Tyrone, Kerry, but against the smaller teams they struggle. Mayo love being the underdogs and if experience has taught them anything it's not to let Tipperary get off to a good start. The name Tipperary should be obliterated from the Mayo mindset.”Former Mayo footballer, David Brady, joined INM GAA correspondents, Frank Roche, Donnchadh Boyle and Conor McKeon on Independent.ie’s Championship podcast as they looked ahead to the All Ireland football semi final between Mayo and Tipperary.Despite his caution, Brady and the rest of the panel still believe that Mayo’s firepower and experience will see them reach the final and have another tilt at their Holy Grail in 2016.Also on the show, Roy Curtis and Martin Breheny went head-to-head arguing whether this has been one of the worst football championships in recent years. 2016 v 2010 anyone?And Liam Glynn from BoyleSports was on hand to give some value bets from the Mayo v Tipp clash.

“It’s great that Kilkenny players have another cut to prove themselves this Saturday,” said Henry Shefflin on this week’s Independent.ie GAA podcast, The Throw-In.Previewing the All Ireland hurling semi final replay between Kilkenny and Waterford with Frank Roche, Michael Verney and Conor McKeon, the Kilkenny legend believes that some of the players let themselves down and will be eager to make up for a below-par performance. “Looking at last Sunday you can see that Kilkenny aren’t as strong as in other years,” he admitted. “But mentally, they are still the best around.”“The one thing that Brian Cody will focus on with his teams is that you never, never give up and you could see that as they came back to get the draw against Waterford.”Looking to the other semi final between Tipperary and Galway, Shefflin is also tipping the Munster champions based on their improved defence and ability to always get their score.“Tipp will always score and if they’re now conceding less, then they have a very good chance.”Turning to football, and in the wake of last week’s sending-offs of Sean Cavanagh and Diarmuid Connolly, Ciaran Whelan and Eugene McGee were also on the show as they discussed whether teams and managers should be bemoaning the targeting of key players.For McGee, this has been a tactic as old as the hills, and teams need to just get on with their own game. For Ciaran Whelan however, the game and the rules have evolved and it’s easier to provoke a player with the aggressor and the victim both getting yellows.“Most of what the managers said in the wake of the games last weekend was rubbish,” said Whelan. “They’re just PR spinners and you should just ignore all their PR talk.”Leon Blanche from BoyleSports joined the Throw-In team to discuss the weekend GAA bets and in the weekly €50 charity bet, recommended a 2/1 double of Galway +4 and Waterford +6 while INM’s Michael Verney was going for two singles of 10-1 draws between Tipp v Galway and Kilkenny v Waterford.The Throw-In is Independent.ie's GAA Championship podcast, in association with BoyleSports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week’s GAA Championship podcast, The Throw-In, in association with BoyleSports, Alan Brogan joined the team as they looked ahead to three provincial football finals.The Dubs are defending their Leinster title against Westmeath and while Brogan couldn’t see a way past Dublin, he still cautioned that the Dubs can’t think it will be easy either.“Dublin have just too much talent but they can’t let any complacency set in against Westmeath,” he told presenter Frank Roche, who was also joined by INM GAA Correspondents, Michael Verney, Donnchadh Boyle, and Conor McKeon.As to how Westmeath would take on Dublin, the question was whether they should have a go or sit back and contain what they concede. Alan Brogan though was clear how they should approach it.“Tom Cribben should allow his Westmeath players to express themselves and try and come out and attack,” he said. “Dublin will probably only have one extra man in the back so there will be opportunities for Westmeath’s forwards.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Massive performances are needed from Tipp’s half-forwards and midfield to get them over the line against Waterford,” said Tipp legend, Eoin Kelly, on this week’s Throw-In podcast, in association with BoyleSports.While Kelly acknowledged Waterford would make it a closer game than recent Munster final clashes between the teams, he still believed that now was the time for the Tipp players to push on for silverware, just as Kilkenny have done.For the hurling qualifiers with Cork v Wexford and Clare v Limerick, the Throw-In panel of Frank Roche, Donnchadh Boyle, Conor McKeon and Michael Verney discussed whether managerial positions would be on the line with defeats on Saturday.In football, David Brady previewed the Connacht football final tipping Roscommon to do the business over Galway while he also called on the Mayo players to lift their game against Fermanagh or else it was time for changes in the starting line-up.For this week’s €50 charity bet, BoyleSports Leon Blanche, opted for a treble of Tipp, Meath and Galway at 11/2 while The Throw-In team hoped to beat the bookie with their 11/2 double of Offaly and Clare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
