The Change in the All Ireland series has meant that Kerry have the same number of better teams to play before they get to the Semi-final stage as all the other teams (all-be-it the rest of the teams in their Province [as is Dublin] are of a poor standard)
Gone forever are the "good old handy years" for winning Sam.
Their support in Croker for the Armagh game was a disgrace.
Armagh and Galway also have very large and experienced backroom teams. The preparation dynamic for matches and how players of very large panels are treated has become very professional for a so called Amateur Association !!!.
I doubt that this trend can be sustainable for a great number of County Boards in all Provinces.
