It’s still very early in the year, they’ll be dangerous opposition for anyone in the championship - particularly if you’ve to play them in Parnell Park in the qualifiers. Sutcliffe, Rushe, Keaney are three good players to base a team around.
They don’t seem to have introduced much young blood in recent years though.

You don’t discard a whole team at once. Nonsense.

traditionally you’ll find Dublin senior hurlers bring players in very quick after minor…there isn’t a whole lot coming through that aren’t involved already…and any dual lad like costelloe and Kilkenny will go with footballers…

It’s just opinions pal. I don’t see any improvement from Daly team and they look to be going backwards. But maybe they will improve

Team v Tipp last year:
G Maguire; N Corcoran, P Kelly, C O’Callaghan; M Carton (0-02), L Rushe, S Durkin; J Boland (0-01f), J McCaffrey, R O’Dwyer (0-03), A McCrabbe (0-10, 8f), C Keaney; D O’Callaghan, D Sutcliffe (0-03), C Cronin.
I would expect 10, possibly 11 of that team to start in this year’s championship.
Dublin’s wins over Kilkenny and Galway in 2013 were preceded by a distinctly unimpressive league and early championship. Again, it’s foolish to read much into these games and what you’re saying abut Dublin could be said about any team.
