I think they do. Not a great deal between the four sides. Dublin are obviously the best, Kerry are the weakest for me but are poxy so you couldnât rule them out.
The Championship meetings between the four sides show thereâs not a massive deal between them so only a total idiot (eg @caoimhaoin) would completely discount one side

You compketely dismissed Kerry last year
It was a savage game. I think Kerry will win the replay. Way more capacitty to improve. JoD will come on for that if heâs not broken. No way Moran scores 1-5 again and CoC wonât score 3 from play the next day. Mayo look stronger and fitter but theyâre just not winners and Kerry have much better finishers.
I was under the impression he was gone for a good while. And was told similar today but canât be sure to be honest.
Classic case of not realise how effective someone was till they are gone.
Kerrys preparation comtinues to be a question for me.
I did a bit of research for an article should them and Dublin meet and the injury records are stark. Dublin are pretty much always full strength bar Killkennys injury and a few niggles here and there.
Kerry are forever under Fitzmaurice playing undercooked players. JOD and Maher the most significant.
Hamstring injury so I doubt heâll be back in time for the replay.
I didnât hear a single commentator that thought it worked a treat. I watched with a mate who is a decent club player and he thought it was mad.
I do see the extent to which it worked, that youâve pointed out. But I donât believe it was worth the trade off.
Stats donât lie.
Well, in this case they donât tell the full picture because it did have limited success as Kev pointed out.
Thats a completely legit thought process and easily arguable.
Maybe we find out the thinking if Mayo win the AI
Like I said I can see both sides. For me, I donât think it was worth the trade off. Mayo management made a big call and have done so in the past. The temptation for them will be to double down, hope they eke out another point or two elsewhere, and cross their fingers that theyâll be vindicated. I think the bigger call would be move OâShea to midfield and back him to dominate (and admit they got it wrong the last day).

Maybe.
But i questioned Derek McGrath not backing down a bit with tactics etc.
He was right.
Maybe Rochford will be the same

When you look at kerry spine yesterday âŚgriffin,morley,moran,maher,geaney,donaghyâŚhow many of them would get into other teams?
Only thing i can see them doing is put Donaghy out to play around centre forward and leave the two lads play inside. .drop a lad back between Morley and griffin and block up the whole defenceâŚyesterday as bad a full back line were, they were hung out to dry by the half back lineâŚ
I canât believe they have fixed this for 3pm??? Bastards. Cunts. Scrotes.
They need to go to the 2014 13 man defensive model
Jack Savage made little impression. He had a fair few possessions but did very little of note with with any of them and almost always just gave a safe handpass to somebody else.
Did they say why? 5pm Saturday would make much more sense.
Was it him who nearly got dispossessed for the last Kerry point? Took it into a tackle, coughed it up but then dived and tipped the ball back to Donaghy who ballooned a point attempt up in the air. âThe fuckers will probably still get a point from it*â, I said to my auld lad as the ball was emerging from the clouds. And so they did with Geaney retrieving it and setting up Paul Murphy for the score.
*commentatorâs eye. Iâd normally use the word âcuntsâ but my auld lad doesnât like that crude word.
