Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 03, 2024, 01:33:47 PMOk so why are Dublins hurlers not doing what Limerick are doing with their money and less numbers that Dublin?



Because they were coming from a far lower base to start with.

If you look at where Dublin hurling was historically compared to where it is now, there is literally no comparison.

Only allows Dubs to

(i) Field previous years county champions as their teams less culchies with culchie clubs in previous 3 years.
(ii) Allow 3 wildcards to join them.
(iii) Play ALL their Leinster games outside of Croke Park. Make Portlaoise designated finals stadium for next 10 years.

Play leinster final as a surprise  in January so Longford can finally call a halt to the 15 in a row charade.

I'm not a bitter royal towards louth. I really would love to see them create the shock of the century. But I just can't see it happening and also the draw makes for interesting position for louth. Their next game is winnable against a Meath team at sixes and sevens under Colm. They could get to a prelim quarter final by winning just that one game in a neutral venue (they should have beat us in league in navan). So what does louth management do ? Throw everything at Dublin and have a very despondent sore tired team still shifting a heavy defeat go out v Meath the following week ? Or play conservative don't waste too much energy avoid injuries and concentrate on the old rivals and giving Colm his p45.  I know which one I hope they do. But I fear they will be focused on Meath which worry's me immensely
