The biggest questions I had after the game is who will stop Dublin from going 4, 5 or even 6 in a row? And when will that be?
Kerry with their 4 minors should start to see some of the talent flow through to Senior so my guess is they will be the team to stop them. Mayo, while I'd love to see them back I don't know how they same group of lads keep going to the well. Is there another run in them?
Other counties need to get their act togather. Absolutely no reason why Kildare, Meath, Galway and Cork aren't as good as Mayo (and I'm talking about semi final and final Mayo). Then we'd have a great All Ireland series every year. Probably a couple of the Ulster counties should be a bit better too.

Also, there's no doubt that Mayo players work harder on the pitch than any players in the above named counties. I don't know why that it is, but no reason for the other counties not to have the same work rate that Mayo have.

Completely agree. Galway (who have beaten Mayo for the past two years) and Roscommon (if they stick with McStay and perhaps coax one or two of the dissenters back) should be stronger next year. Similarly Cork and Kildare.  Tyrone and Kerry will be back again and there could be a bolter or two from the pack. Dublin appear unbeatable but Mayo have proven that they can be beaten if a team is brave and confident enough to engage them on their own terms. It time for the era of fear to end. Teams need to dispense with blanket defenses and trust in their own ability.

Galway have enough forward power to trouble Dublin, but haven't the midfield, backs or manager to contest it with them. Division I should show them how to consistently play against the better teams, but the defence needs 4 new players at least from this year.

I'm sure Jim Gavin is quaking in his boots at the prospect of Danny Cummins kicking his fifth wide of the match next spring.

No more so than he is at the thoughts of any Roscommon player in the super 8s i'd imagine........

Given one hammered the other a few weeks ago you scored a bit of an own goal with that comeback.

Home advantage counts in every sport. To think different contravenes every known published article on it. Croke Park is a massive advantage to Dublin and that shouldn't be even up for debate.
Sure but what % difference does it make? GAA has different fan dynamics to soccer. Maybe they can't be compared.

Also this Dub team looks very like Cody pomp Kilkenny.  Will Kildare be ready for the fall or can we expect more of the battered wife commentary indefinitely?

In soccer it's worth 0.6 of a goal.
In NFL is 2.8 points.
In AFL it's 7 points.
In NBA it's 2.33 points
In Super Rugby it's worth 5 & 10 points if International Travel involved.

So based on the above I would say Croke is worth 2/3 points to Dublin, enough to win 4 All-Irelands by a point...

As for a Kildare being a battered wife, a bit of a crude analogy do you not think? It's not the physical beatings it's the lack of support from outside the province and indeed the narrative that Leinster is sh*t and Meath/Kildare must do better that's probably done more harm as people just ignored the evidence to the contrary until now.
Maybe it is but I would assocate  Kildare fans with insight and the odd whine. Poor Kildare. Woe is Kildare. 
All great teams die eventually. Kildare should be thinking ahead .And Kildare are ahead of the rest of Leinster.

Who is going to change the system?  You need to be organised to do that.

You could look at the hurling experience in  Galway. We got hammered numerous times by Kilkenny. Some of them were dreadful. There were some awful managers as well. Ger Loughnane.
But the people involved never gave up. They broke with the old system in 2011 and went for youth . Could have won the final in 2012 but didn't have the experience. Kept at it. And then Kilkenny imploded. And who was left standing ?

Of course, the gaping hole in your argument is this - Mayo played five championship games in Croke Park this year. As did Dublin. Any attempt to compare the GAA arrangements with other sports that decide their codes on a home and away league basis is simply comparing apples and ...swordfish, picture frames or bullshit. You pick the metaphor.

No gaping hole, Dublin played an additional 4 games in their home ground this year or do those the league games not count. So the metaphor I pick is the usual bullshit denial from Dublin posters, Christ! Is it so hard to admit, yes we have home advantage. Then again those competitions are actually inherently fair in that regards. Unbelievable!!

Also, Dublin get the same dressing room for EVERY GAME. Mayo didn't have the same dressing room for every game.

So even though Mayo might have played as many championship matches in Croke park THIS year as Dublin, they still weren't being treated as the home team in all those games.

This things, although little, do make a difference!

Except a big part of what makes them advantageous is the home support vastly out numbering the away

Who is going to change the system?  You need to be organised to do that.

You could look at the hurling experience in  Galway. We got hammered numerous times by Kilkenny. Some of them were dreadful. There were some awful managers as well. Ger Loughnane.
But the people involved never gave up. They broke with the old system in 2011 and went for youth . Could have won the final in 2012 but didn't have the experience. Kept at it. And then Kilkenny imploded. And who was left standing ?


That must be one of the greatest pieces of Rubbish written on this board!

+1

The ultimate seal of approval from someone who'd know.

Someone still hasn't gotten over the flaking, I see. I suppose it's commendable because most Galway supporters have forgotten football and hurling even exist by now.. :'(

Home advantage counts in every sport. To think different contravenes every known published article on it. Croke Park is a massive advantage to Dublin and that shouldn't be even up for debate.
Sure but what % difference does it make? GAA has different fan dynamics to soccer. Maybe they can't be compared.

Also this Dub team looks very like Cody pomp Kilkenny.  Will Kildare be ready for the fall or can we expect more of the battered wife commentary indefinitely?

In soccer it's worth 0.6 of a goal.
In NFL is 2.8 points.
In AFL it's 7 points.
In NBA it's 2.33 points
In Super Rugby it's worth 5 & 10 points if International Travel involved.

So based on the above I would say Croke is worth 2/3 points to Dublin, enough to win 4 All-Irelands by a point...

As for a Kildare being a battered wife, a bit of a crude analogy do you not think? It's not the physical beatings it's the lack of support from outside the province and indeed the narrative that Leinster is sh*t and Meath/Kildare must do better that's probably done more harm as people just ignored the evidence to the contrary until now.
Maybe it is but I would assocate  Kildare fans with insight and the odd whine. Poor Kildare. Woe is Kildare. 
All great teams die eventually. Kildare should be thinking ahead .And Kildare are ahead of the rest of Leinster.
