Look to Kerry Galway Tyrone Mayo and Derry.
They have plenty of footballers equal to or better than many Dublin players.
They simply don't have the numbers to cover for injury and rest.
They don't have the luxury of bringing on a Jack mc Caffrey or Michael Darragh for the last 20.
Dublin compared to any of the others have the quality players to pick two teams from.
None of the other counties do.
So, is it a numbers game or a money game?
If you are given funds to develop the game you can coach 20 players for the same amount as 10.
I heard on the RTE podcast that Dublin spent approx 7 million on their seniors last year.
The nearest to this was Cork.
6.2 million I think.
However 40 percent of Corks was on travelling expenses alone.
Ok so why are Dublins hurlers not doing what Limerick are doing with their money and less numbers that Dublin?
