Works either way
Do you honestly believe that if con, kilkenny and costello switched to hurling Dublin would contend for an All Ireland?
No. I said imagine.
This is all hypothetical here.

Fair enough.
Kerry 78-86 were as good in my opinion

The 86 All Ireland was the first football final I remember
That legacy is done. It’s growing obscene now.
Being part of a Dublin hurling team to win an All Ireland? That’s a legacy.
Laois begged for it and Croke Park denied it. And it wasn’t even bags. It was half a bag.
Anyway, Laois have fuck all to do with today.
Very little between those sides. The kerry team changed very little in those years. The dublin team is always evolving.
Yes they’re bringing in 1 or 2 lads every year meaning there’s no rebuilding to be done
The legacy of Dublin winning a hurling all ireland would be lads like you moaning about funding
Not at all. I’d be delighted.
Until they won 5 in a row. And 18 Leinsters in 20 years.

The first of the 6IAR team:
Dublin: S Cluxton (0-01, 0-01f); J Cooper, R O’Carroll, P McMahon (0-01); J McCarthy, C O’Sullivan, J McCaffrey (0-01); B Fenton (0-01), D Bastick; P Flynn (0-02), D Connolly, C Kilkenny; B Brogan (0-02, 0-1f), D Rock (0-02, 0-02f), P Andrews (0-01)
Subs: K McManamon for Rock, Michael Darragh Macauley for Bastick, J Cooper for Fitzsimons, J Small for McCaffrey, D Daly for O’Sullivan, A Brogan (0-01) for Fenton
Of the 20 players involved in 2015, only 8 of them started today.
It’s nearly a whole new team.

But those 6 are absolutely key at the same time
The Galway team of the 60s was better. Football was played at a higher level in those days, cc @anon67715551
They have no weak links, look at some of the names there - four footballers of the year in MDMA, Brogans and McCaffrey gone. Yet no problem in come the likes of O’Callaghan, Howard, Bugler, Scully, Byrne, Murchan.
Byrne had a magnificent game today.
Delighted for that long suffering Dubs lass in the Littlewoods Ireland ad.
“This yearrrrrr is our yearrrrrr.”
How right you were, love.
Jack McCaffrey is nearly the best of the lot and they got on without him with no fuss
Very true. He’s always the first lad you forget about too. Effeciency 101
