Last time Galway were on top form was probably 2022 and they tanked Derry. No chance that would happen now but would be some game alright. Doubtful if Galway will hit that form again anytime soon given the injuries to key men.

Galway full out not going to happen though. They're miles away at the minute.

Derry haven't won an all Ireland semifinal since 1993 afaik. The last 4 times Derry won the League they didn't win Sam. 

You appear to be absolutely fixated with Derry. Why is that?

In the old days if a team did the iterations they would often win Sam. Derry are doing the iterations. But Dublin don't care about stuff like that. There is a glass ceiling. Ranking Derry second ignores the big picture. It was always hard to win the all Ireland but it is even harder now.

21 points is a tanking as seen at the weekend, 5 certainly is not

Apologies, don't know why but I had in my head Derry were beat by far more that day.

I think a full strength Galway versus Derry would be worth watching

We didn't have the greatest 2nd half to be fair

The Paddy Power Ranking

Dublin 13/8
Kerry 5/2
Derry 11/2
Galway 9/1
Mayo 10/1
Armagh 20/1
Donegal 22/1
Tyrone 25/1
Roscommon 80/1
Cork 100/1
Monaghan 100/1

I'm not sure that Galway/Mayo are hugely better than Armagh/Donegal/Tyrone but one of them will be Connacht champions and that has seeding advantages.

Wouldn't totally rule out Roscommon out. Won Connacht in 2017 and 2019 off the back of Division one relegation.

Mayo would be my bet, but the Rossies have forwards to trouble anyone.

they wont win it this year either but I do think the league final will also be the AI final

You've the 2 form teams in the country playing on Sunday, and could very well (taking nothing for granted of course) meet again in an AI final. You'd have very short odds on Dublin doing the double, seriously long odds on Derry doing the double. That's the position Derry is in

A Very envious position for 31 other teams.
So I am not complaining.

I'm surprised to see Armagh above Donegal and Tyrone.  I suspect that is reflected in the handier run to the Ulster Final. I'd say all 3 would fancy themselves v Galway and Mayo despite the gap int he betting.

The Rossies will have a big Connacht Championship as per usual.

Then disappear once the big boy stuff starts come All Ireland stage.
