Dublin seem to be better than last year as they have received no test at all. They have all the experience they need on the subs  bench but I still maintain that Mayo will be ready for them. I could be wrong and Dublin could win at a canter but I just feel that all these matches and tests will stand to Mayo. I wouldn't be surprised to see all those stars on the Dubs bench on the field earlier than expected .

I can't see Gavin starting Connolly after him having not played for almost 4 months, Flynn or Mcmanamon to start

Dublin now given the kiss of death by both Fearon and Syferus, If Mayo don't win this final now then they are definitely cursed.

For someone a bit obsessed with me you somehow missed the fact I've said Dublin would win this AI since the third Sunday of September last year.. poor show.

Nor can I see Connolly starting especially now when his marker Keegan is 100% fit unlike the Kerry games. Mcmanamon like loftus will be a impact sub more than a starter I'd say.

Keegan spending his day chasing Connolly wouldn't do Mayo much good.

Mayo are apparently going to line Keegan out as the Bodach

Mayo have shown they're well fit for Dublin in the past but time will tell whether Dublin have pulled away from everyone this year.

I can see it being ding dong for 50 odd minutes but Dublin pulling away and winning by 8 or 9.

I can see it over by eight minutes, hope I am wrong, a team that should have been beaten by Derry playing this Dublin team should get destroyed, I hope not,  c'mon mayo.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

I think it's fair to say Mayo are a completely different team compared to the early qualifier rounds. They upped it in the replay against Roscommon steamrolling past them and the scoreboard didn't do justice to how dominant they were against Kerry.

It remains to be seen how far ahead Dublin are of everyone else or how far ahead Dublin and Mayo are of anyone else. Personally I think Dublin have probably stepped it up this year which is worrying for the game. Their bench is so strong that it has to have a psychological impact on the opposition that even if they are in bother they have five or six pedigree game changers on the bench ready to come in.

Mayo deserve credit for the way they keep coming back and sustaining their levels but I feel as if their best chances have passed.

Don't flatter yourself. I didn't miss the fact that you totally wrote Kerry off before this year Division one league final.
