NFL Division 1 - 2020

[Lar Naparka]

When is the last time Mayo beat Dublin in League or Championship?

The answer is probably 2012. A long time ago!

Dublin in the past would have singled out this League fixture. That's probably not the case anymore. 

Conor McKeon did an interview with Enda Varley on Monday last in the Indo.
I found this very interesting.
Between '13 and '17, Mayo played Dublin a total of 19 times, between league and championship, and lost 17 of them. They won only two and drew the other two but the interesting fact is that Mayo amassed a total of 250 points in the process but Dublin managed only 251.
However, the devil is in the detail...
Dublin scored a total of 32 goals whereas Mayo managed only 12.
Seems goals win games...

Of the last 7 Dublin/Kerry games, Dublin have won 2.

Out of the 71 championship games last summer there were only 5 games where a side scored less goals than the opposition and won.

On Dublin when you look at the stats in terms of the amount of goal scoring chances they create and convert, as well as looking at their overall attacking play in games, it's blatantly clear that part of their overall strategy is to score goals. I think it's one of the areas where they are a good way ahead of the competition. A lot of other sides seem far more willing to "take their points" as opposed to developing the play and getting the shot at goal off.

In 8 championship games in 2019, Kerry scored 8 goals total.  In only one game (Meath) did they hit the net twice.  The only game Kerry failed to score a goal was the only game they lost.

Of the last 7 Dublin/Kerry games, Dublin have won 2.

League games are fantastic but I'd hazard a guess 2009 is the only stat that counts to Kerry .

It's a case of a goalie that can't deal with high balls kicked into him or a goalie that can't kick high balls out!

Do you think that's the reason? Clarke is kicking the ball to Hennelly in training

James Horan only had six months to come up with an alternative.
A tad embarrassing.

[Blowitupref]

The memory of how well Robert Hennelly played against Dublin in the league last year probably played a part in this selection.

[greatpoint]

Of the last 7 Dublin/Kerry games, Dublin have won 2.

But in the games that actually matter Dublin are unbeaten for 11 years. Sure Tyrone and Monaghan beat Dublin in the league last year.

the alternatives seems to have been poached in a big money transfers.
Personally I think its time to show confidence in hennelly you have to accept the odd mistake but overall hes a top class keeper with a great kick out when as Clarke has as many meltdowns  and was poor under the high ball in ballybofey.
if mullin plays fullback he going to need all the protection he can get

Did Dublin not destroy his kickouts in the SF last year?

This has been an issue for the past 5 years and it feels like nothing has been done about it - either in terms of trying someone new or working with the two that are there and trying to improve their obvious weaknesses.

[rosnarun]

no there were strategies that went arseways  , but we have no better striker of the ball.   lets face it Clarke has an even worse record in that regard like landing the ball on connollys head and messing up 32 other kick outs when the game was in the balance and kicking  the ball out over the line wen 1 point down  with a minute left in an all Ireland Finals
