Kerry have more all irelands than them
Kerry have 4 minors in a row won or something silly. They’ve a cycle of dominance coming soon and that will be acceptable
There’ll be no call for breaking them in two or moaning about unfair advantages
That great team got old together. This Dublin outfit are replacing generational talents without blinking an eye. They have subs that have won allstars and would win all stars in any other county. And that is without mentioning Archer cc @Spidey

And yet and all when cluxton goes they’ll regress to the mean. They’re massively reliant on his kick outs
They aren’t. There are better keepers out there than Cluxton now.

This the same Dublin people you regularly sneer at for having “country” parents.
Minors titles are meaningless in a discussion of winning senior titles. Totally different games. As someone mentioned previously, its how these lads are developed post minor that matters and that is where the professionalism of Dublin really stands out.

The wing back on their u20 team this year was also very good. Looks like the new James McCarthy.

The Cluxton factor is overrated.
The fact that he has players like Fenton, McCarthy, Kilkenny, Howard, O’Callaghan, Bugler etc to hit out the field makes his job so much easier. Before that he had MDMA, Flynn, Connolly, Cian O’Sullivan, McCaffrey etc.
His job is so much easier on kickouts than it is for other counties.
Cluxton will go and the new keeper will come in and start pinging kickouts to those guys.

Who is this new keeper? If he is that good we must have heard of him and it’s not Evan Comeford
Agree 100%
Comerford yes.
Galligan was the better keeper on show last night.
This is it.
Clearly @EstebanSexface has only a passing interest in football. If anything the players they are bringing on are better.
Of the outfield players - only Fitzsimons, Cooper, McCarthy and Rock will need to replaced in the next 5/6 years. They could still have McCaffrey back in there and their constant conveyor belt of talent from u20 level.

Good post but with respect, that comment wasn’t even worth replying to. “This Dublin team is denigrated” - what a load of nonsense, @Ewan aside.
The worst thing about this Dublin behemoth isn’t what it’s done to the game in counties that were making the breakthrough in the 00s.
Counties like Fermanagh, Wexford, Sligo, Laois and Westmeath were a team that had it in them to best anyone back in that time and now they’re just fodder for the big teams. They know if they play a Dublin the best they can hope for is a 20 point defeat.
The health of the game is not too bad otherwise but the whole situation just deflates the smaller counties.
The Leinster counties need to make that stand next year. The hand needs to be forced.

I dont really think that Cavan could have played much better than they did yesterday. They hit a few wides and lost the ball a bit too much but overall I thought they played fairly well. Dublin could have played better also. Best case scenario for Monaghan or Cavan would probably be a 12 point defeat. Best case scenario for Tyrone would probably be an 8 or 9 point defeat. It will be interesting to see what Mayo can do. I Mayo get blown away by 10 points then Croke Park will have to take notice.
Sean Kelly’s tweet above annoyed me. Is he acting like he’s blameless in all this?

Such snowflakes
They’re too good. Make it more fair by making them worse instead of us getting better.
Pussies.
