Patrick McBrearty reckons Donegal will want to 'lay down a marker' against Kerry this weekend. "Unfortunately we lost to a really, really good team. We had a really good year but there was a lot of hurt there and a lot of the team that were there would have carried that through the winter. "It's not as if we can't go man-to-man, there's a lot of really good man-markers there. Look, Donegal would have definitely taken the learnings from last year but the best teams can do all those things."
