Dublin at the capacity they were at Sunday are vulnerable.
But you have to look at it and say they were without the likes of McCaffrey, Connolly, Andrews, O’Sullivan, Flynn to call on. They lost McCarthy and Small early on and still saw it out fairly comfortably with a man less, now maybe a side further along the line of progression than Galway would have sensed blood and capitalised.
Its possible Dublin can be beaten but I think it needs a number of factors falling into place. If a few of their defenders bodies are beginning to creak and Connolly doesn’t come back in then it will certainly give a pack of 4/5 some hope.
I wouldn’t say there is a great deal between any of Mayo, Kerry, Tyrone, Monaghan and Galway at present and if Dublin were taken out then all would fancy their chances. Galway and Monaghan, Tyrone to a lesser extent, still have big questions to answer at Croke Park though.
