"It's not just calls you make on your own, these are family calls, they're calls where careers come into it. I don't know the boys personally, but everyone has to make their own call.
"For me, I played in the 2016 National League final against Dublin. I was actually 36 on the day that the game was on and I was marking Bernard Brogan, and he got 0-4 on me. I knew after that, that this was it, game over.
"I didn't start a championship game after that, came on alright, but that was it for me. When I wasn't starting, I felt I wasn't having the same influence on the team and that was the end for me really," Ó Sé added.

"But why would they step off? he added.
"For me Fitzsimons is still one of the best man-markers in the game, if not the best. I think the boys can be as good next year, but it is their decision."
"For me, if I was Dean Rock, it would be a bit easier, because that was the way I was going down the stretch, and when you're not getting your game-time, definitely, it's very easy.
"Dean was one of the main men, the go-to-guy. Now he's not on the team, but Dean has had an incredible career, I met him on a few occasions, a lovely fella too."
On the subject of staying on, Ó Sé hopes Jack O'Connor stays on for Kerry.
"Jack has this innate ability to go when he needs to go, and then put his hat in the ring when he needs to come back. But I'd like to see him to stay on, because I think these players need him to stay on at the moment. I think they've a bit of unfinished business."
