7 or 8 for 5 Qtr Final places.

There are two contenders for Sam - Kerry and Dublin.

I don't think Kerry are above Derry at the minute.

Too dependent on 2 Cliffords and O'Se up top.

There are 3 contenders for Sam, Dublin, Derry and Kerry. Tyrone and Mayo are an outside bet. It pains me to say it but I can't see Armagh or Donegal doing it. The gap was so wide between the two finals yesterday.

Not as wide as the gap between Dublin v Tyrone in their recent meeting.

Armagh18

Dublin and Derry were on a different planet to Donegal and Armagh yesterday so going by that themselves and the Cliffords are the favourites for Sam.

However league finals will count for very little come the proper stuff so I wouldn't base everything off them.

Dublin will win it again. Yesterday will have galvanised and annoyed them.

Gavins Dublin yes you'd expect a big reaction and them to blow Derry away in championship.

This team isn't at that level probably a slightly better team than Derry when push comes to shove but not a million miles ahead. Think they'll still win it but Derry will run them close if they meet.

Armagh went way back from Last year, I don't know if Armagh supporters can see it, but their whole game is all about sitting very deep, it just doesnt work.

Hoping yesterday was just a bad day at the office. Lack of intensity and Donegal were able to get space in and around the D very easily which is worrying and you'd hope that won't happen come championship.

We seem to set up defensively to match defensive teams, we did it against Monaghan last year too and it really doesn't suit us. If Derry were playing Donegal they'd impose their own gameplan and take the game to them whereas we don't. We looked good for ten minutes yesterday when we took the handbrake off and played to our strengths. Chaos suits us.

Yesterday was a Division 2 final, once promoted this game is nothing more than a run out for most teams. Especially teams who have been in the first division recently.

Many on here were comparing it to the Division One final where there was a LEAGUE TITLE to be won. Naturally the intensity for that game would be greater.

Armagh have no collective balls, that is our biggest problem.

Don't get that mentality at all. Theres 3 trophies at the start of the year you can win and that was one. We certainly haven't won anywhere newr enough in the last decade and a half to be turning our noses up at silverware.

if derry got knocked out by donegal what will derrys seeding be  is derry guarenteed pot 2 or can they go into pot 3

The losing of Sundays match for Armagh was not so much their defence but rather mistakes at the other  end. Needlessly running down cut de sac's, McMullan also kicked 3 wides with no support  from the score getters. They also  turned the ball over too easy. I don't think this can be fixed but I hope to stand to be corrected. They also hit the post and missed a couple of frees/marks.

Pot two is for the provincial losers I think?

If same as last year:

Pot 1 - provincial winners
Pot 2 - provincial losers
Pot 3 - top 4 remaining league rankings
Pot 4 - 4 next league rankings/Tailteann Cup winner
