Once Fernandes figures out that tricky bit about passing the ball to a guy in the same color shirt, he'll be a pretty decent player.

Obviously would have preferred a different result today, but a bunch of lads who have been at the periphery of the squad in recent times got a lot of game time over the course of the league, and some of those had today their first taste of a high-intensity game with something on the line.
I think some of our younger defenders aren't quite at the level required yet, but I'd be fairly hopeful that today will help bring them on, and, as I said above, I'd be fairly confident that the old guard have another tilt in them this year.
Would like to have seen Theo Clancy get more game time during league.

Derry could/should have 5 goals..
Can imagine so as they won't be retaining the All Ireland be defending in the manner they have done today.
Unless there are retirements, the defensive line has McCaffrey, McCarthy, Gannon, Fitzsimons and Cluxton all to return.
Dublin are missing the old guard. In the build up the media said this team would wipe the floor with everyone. Now they are beat they are missing x y or z. McCaffrey isn't a starter now. McCarthy, cluxton and Fitzsimmons maybe but they are old and will they be an improvement and they haven't played a tap all year.
Yes can't keep relying on the old guard, just because it worked last year doesn't mean history will repeat itself this summer.
