Behind it, Kerry duly stamped their authority on proceedings from the start and had all the dominant personalities throughout. That pre-match jostle was about as close as he, or any Mayo player, got to Moran all day. Kerry supporters are always looking for that perfect specimen — the ideal blend of the footballer, athlete, leader mixed with just the right amount of badness. Like most games, it’s difficult to truly assess how much of this performance was down to Kerry brilliance or Mayo simply hitting the wall. That game should provide supporters with a more accurate reflection of exactly where Kerry are at in the grand scheme of things.
