Anyone else think the Super 8s should culminate with the Croke Park games instead of starting with them?
If you were any use you'd be playing.

They do for Roscommon.

I assume it's to ensure the champion v champion matches aren't dead rubbers, there's a high likelihood that those two teams can win both their first group matches and only have positioning to play for in the final match.. I'd agree with the GAA on playing them first TBH. Make the Croke Park matches matter.

Would the final two games in each group not have to throw in at the same time, or else the teams in the second game would have an advantage, knowing what they need to go through.

They do throw in at the same time.

There's literally no atmosphere at that game. Not having a go at the fans but it's so quiet

Home, away and neutral is the way to go for the Super 8s.
Let Dublin play their home game in Croke Park, every other game is fixed for somewhere else.
Leinster semi-finals & final plus Dublin home Super 8 game and All-Ireland semi-finals and final should be the only games played there.

Knock out football is what people want to see. Boring stuff so far.

Pretty much all Dublin games are like that now.

The semi-final against Tyrone last year had a funeral atmosphere.
