Dublin

[ashman]

In 2011 and 2013 they All Ireland marginally.

The last 2 years they are on a different planet physically to all teams .

Is the sport of inter county football sustainable if this continues .  Many will say it is a phase but I am certain it is not as the dice is totally loaded in their favour :

- financial power
-  population
-  rural depopulation and urban growth
-  ultra modern infrastructure.
-   A pile of super clubs.
-   Massive GAA funds pumped in .

Attendances will drop this year and it is really hard to drum up any enthusiasm for the summer ahead.

Any views??

yeah, it would be far better if we went back to Kerry winning 3 and 4s in a row

Sure nobody watches hurling now given how dominant Kilkenny have been in the last decade or more

Who can stop Dublin? Or get within 5 of them?

They won't win 2 in a row. Leinster football is the problem. Meath, Kildare, Louth and Laois have all recently visited Division 3. Offaly are familiar with Division 4. None of them bother making an effort. Yeah the Dubs are great on their day but they often slip up. They are not as ruthless as they could be.

Yeah. They'll win a lot more than two in a row by the looks of things. AIG will be happy bunnies at least.

We're no better than last year and Mayo are no worse

Personally Mayo are the only team I fear, but things can change quickly, and when Kerry add O'Donoghue they'll close the gap for sure

There are certainly issues that need adressed though.
The deck stacked heavily in their favour in terms of population and funding,  every game played at home and a completely uncompetitive provincial championship giving them a free pass though to the quarter final stage.

The lack of hope in other counties is a real killer too.

They comfortably beat Kerry and Donegal in their last two games and you think it's a Leinster problem! You are better than that.

[ashman]

It is beyond Leinster now .    Good luck to Dublin , a fine team and a decent and humble bunch of lads.

22 games unbeaten. No ruthlessness there at all
