These Dublin lads are fit as a fiddle but bloody hell can they kick a point from outside 30 yards?
Consider the great Tyrone team with decent conditioning versus the Dubs.
Kevin Hughes would rip Brian Fenton a new one in midfield. Conor Gormley would leave at least four players in tears before the game even started. Stevie O'Neill would kick a few ridiculous scores, Peter Canavan would score 2-8, Brian Dooher would run riot. Brian McGuigan would spray foot passes around the place and Ciaran Kilkenny would be like 'what's a kick pass???'. Up da ra.
Dream on....
Ryan McMenamin could drop his knees on Jack McCaffrey and Phillip Jordan could charge at Brian Fenton.

And then again stevie oneill Peter canavan mugsy mulligan. Brian mcguigan Brian Dooher Ger Cavlin Enda McGinley would rip them a new arse hole. Tyrone in the 2000s had some of the best forwards of all time playing for them. I will Dream.on.........
Let's get them to play each other to find out.

Have a read back to what happened in early 2004 and think to yourself if it possibly may have had a huge impact on that team ability to put a serious challenge in that year.

Tyrone had serious competitors in Kerry and Armagh.at that time. All 3 teams were around the same level so doing back to backs was extremely difficult.

That is true! Forgot about that! Was wondering how an average Mayo side beat them that year. Between winning Sam for the first time as well there was a lot going on in those young minds. I also think Mickey Harte gave too much to the attention to the McKenna Cup, this attention meant Tyrone players were burnt out in their late 20's. where as Kerry players from the same era played a lot longer into their early thirties. In other words they were minded by their said coach.

Football moves on a lot in 10-15 years. That Tyrone team wouldn't lay a glove on the current Dublin team.
Yes because that Tyrone team would be too old now to lay a glove on the current Dublin team.

Guys like Ricey, Gormley & Hub Hughes in their prime would'nt lay a glove on the current Dublin team?
Rather surprised that there are so many giving this piece of classic baiting oxygen! ;)

No, because the Tyrone team of that time played nowhere near the level of the current Dublin team.
If that Tyrone team were exposed to modern low risk football with a big focus on strength and conditioning they very much would have laid a glove on them and more. FFS the current Tyrone team only lost by 3 points to the current Dublin in Omagh with a number of players not near the level of Tyrone's noughties players

A 21 point deficit over three games tho
Tyrone might not lay a glove on Dublin, but they would manage a dig, knee, kick or stamp, plus a bit of sledging.

The injuries have healed now, unlike Sean Canavagh's.
Even if it's true it's not much of a consolation for the predicament that football is in at the minute. If true Does it only go to show that the rest of the counties are so bereft of enough talent that no one will be laying a glove on them for years to come.
Weren't even the best team of the 00's

Ah yes, lets conveniently pick the only game out of the three that was not knockout and look at it as a marker!
Considering a combined team between the two teams, I'd have Ricey, Cormac, Gormley and Jordan in defence and Cavanagh in midfield and only Kilkenny of the Dublin forward line would be good enough to squeeze into a unit including McGuigan, Dooher, Mulligan, O'Neill and Canavan. So in my biased view, we'd have 10 of a potential starting 15 which would suggest we'd have a chance at least.
In the 6yr period you won all-Ireland how many championship games u lost? Beat by an average Donegal team in 2004.,beat by a bad Derry team in 2006 and couldn't score in 1 half of football! knocked out in 20007 and a somehow ended up playing wexford to get to a final in 2008!won 2 al-ireland through the bck door. Dublin in a 8yr period have won 6 all-Ireland through the front door and beat only 2 times, compare Tyrone forward line to Dublin from a few yrs bck with connolly, Flynn, kilkenny., and Brogan, only O'Neill and Canavan would made that forward line!

If there's a combination of the two teams to be made it's the Tyrone noughties team and Dublin's county funding.
