Same order

[Blowitupref]

Donegal the biggest movers. They were 50 and 60/1 before Jim McGuinness was appointed.

How many teams on that list would you say could realistically win it?

[imtommygunn]

Truthfully two.

[lurganblue]

Truthfully two.

Probably correct. Another 1 of the next 3 could do it with a bit of a run, form and belief.

[imtommygunn]

Galway were poor last year. I am not sure they would be at that level at all. Mayo either tbh. Derry maybe.

[thewobbler]

Truthfully two.

Well it depends on those two. If Dublin are motivated, only Kerry can stop them. If Clifford stays injury free, only Dublin can stop them.

But should it transpire that in terms of application and intent, 2022 was actually Dublin's denouement, and perhaps Clifford endures a few injury problems, it would leave the AI wide open, to the point that any of those 11 listed teams could win it.

I think there are a number of teams that can realistically win sam. It would take the rub of the green but say if the top 2 meet in a semi final, then the likes of Derry, Armagh, Tyrone, Donegal, Galway would all fancy their chances in a 1 off game in the final. Honestly

Id be hesitant to throw Donegal in with the rest there but I otherwise agree. Weve seen always of these sides give the big dogs a run for their money in the last few years and ultimately just fall short on the big day.

I'll be most interested to see Armagh. When you look at how narrow their defeats have been these past two seasons and how stacked with talent they are, youd have to fear meeting them in an AI semi. Armagh E/W could be a good bet.

[An Watcher]

Maybe if they got a new manager and the subsequent bounce but with mcgeeney they're going absolutely nowhere. 
The draw for ulster has been very kind to them again so maybe they'll get over the line with that this year

[lurganblue]

It's the Last Dance for this Armagh panel in my opinion. Yes it's a favourable draw in Ulster but we've a habit of making a mess of that. Yes they have had lots of very tight losses in the last 2 years but the reality is, top sides grind out wins when it is in the melting pot. I would be pleasantly surprised if we were near an AI semi final.

Agreed. Galway almost caught Kerry in 2022. Derry, Mayo, Armagh, Galway, Tyrone etc all not a million miles away from each other and capable of beating each other. Would take Dublin and Kerry to meet in a semi though. Any of the above would definitely fancy their chances in a final if they got there and anything can happen on the day. If Clifford was to get injured Kerry drop way back into that pack as they are very reliant on him.

I know you've mentioned Donegal, remains to be seen if Jimmy can get them back up a level tbh.

[seafoid]

Galway are the only team in the chasing pack with Final experience.
They had a lot of injuries in 2023 plus Silke and Molloy were missing.  If everyone is fit they have a great chance.
