Cathal Mullaney is joined by Éamonn Fitzmaurice and Rory O'Neill to sort through the weekend's Allianz Football League finals.
Unsurprisingly there were two somewhat disappointed men in Fitzmaurice and O'Neill, with both Kerry and Cork missing out in their respective finals, but as will be revealed, in very different ways.
Fitzmaurice explained that Kerry's 13-point loss to Donegal will not have much bearing on the county's championship season and expects them to ramp up when they return from a warm-weather training camp.
He also reflected that while the manner of the defeat may sting, there will be no panic in the Kingdom over the coming weeks.
The panel considered the differences in Donegal's play compared to last year's All-Ireland final, and the ex-All-Ireland winning manager is relishing the "tactical innovation" to come in the championship, given the glimpses shown by the Tír Chonaill men in Sunday's Division 1 final.
Fitzmaurice stated that he felt David Clifford had an unusual lack of possession, allowing for Caolán McColgan to show how tough and aggressive he is, but suggested that once Kerry return to their championship level, higher balls from the likes of brother Paudie may give Clifford the edge in a second match-up between the pair.
O'Neill calls on Fitzmaurice's FRC knowledge to discuss the refereeing of tackling and the hooter issues he felt impacted the final moments in Cork v Meath.
Was there was an unsatisfactory finish to the Division 2 clash in Croke Park, O'Neill certainly thought so.
Fitzmaurice detailed his take on the current hooter rule, and stated there was little point appealing to players and managers to keep the game going.
Lastly Joe Murphy's remarks about keeping his coaching and backroom team local were noted, and Éamonn added that people will now be sitting up and taking notice after the Barrowsiders claimed their first League title since 1971.
