All Ireland Championship 2025.

[Tubberman]

After the drama of the group stage, these pqfs look like a predictable set of one sided games.
Hopefully cork or down can put it up to dub or galway.

[Stickittotheman]

Kerry must be the luckiest team on the planet. Always get a good draw. The PQF's look like foregone conclusions without being too disrespectful. All going as most imagine it could leave those through to the Quarters playing Dublin, Kerry, Donegal or Galway. Almost sure Armagh can't play 3 of those so we could be looking at an Armagh v Kerry quarter! Early days yet mind you and the 4 teams who wouldn't be fancied might pull a rabbit out of the hat yet!

Wouldn't be writing Down off just yet. Despite losing yesterday they're playing well

[Wildweasel74]

The 4 qualifiers teams look stronger that the 4 table toppers as a quartet. Given u can't get Dublin v Meath, and  Armagh v Kerry a def. Then maybe Galway v Monaghan, Donegal v Meath, Tyrone v Dublin.

could get Dublin v Meath I thought? Only avoid repeat provinvial final pairings

[Grace Murphy]

If you where the GAA you couldnt have written them out any better     

Would like to have see 2 big hitters goin at it in that round ... now they are warm up matches!

Luckiest team on the planet to be facing Armagh in the 1/4s? (If the 4 favourites all win)

You would almost say it was fixed. Keep the big guns safe till the QF stage.

Yeah. We could have faced Tyrone in a quarter (if they'd been on a prelim)

Galway might get a test against Down but will win in the end, Louth will put it up to Donegal for a bit, the other 2 will be not even close.

[Stall the Bailer]

It is easy to argue that the 4 division 1 teams are favourites, especially with 3 at home.
However, we have already seen division 2 teams beating division 1 teams, that gap is not as big as before.
Down are at home and playing well and will  make Galway fight for it.
It is Leinster champions against the Ulster champions. Both have not pushed on since, but Louth if they want to step up to the next level need to believe and prove they can do.
Do Cavan see themselves as being on par with their neighbours in Meath? Kerry will be wounded but are still vulnerable, if Cavan approach it like the Mayo game you never know.
Cork always have the potential to put it up to a big gun, time for them to prove that Cork is the "real capital".

4 division 1 wins it will be then.

I actually forgot Down were at home. There is some hope of an upset there.

[Armaghtothebone]

Anyone care to predict the combined winning margin.

I'm going for 35 points.

[APM]

Am I right in saying that if they win, Kerry will be through to the QF without playing a single Div 1 team. Whereas Donegal will have played Derry, Monaghan, Armagh, Tyrone and Mayo. Armagh will have played Tyrone, Donegal, Dublin, Galway and Derry.

What's the chances Kerry are undercooked? Wouldn't like to be Cavan next weekend though!

[HokeyPokey]

Those games do look predictable, but Galway have a decent trip up to Newry, so there could be an upset there. I doubt it will be straightforward. Likewise if Galway do come through, it will make them that bit more vulnerable in the QF.

From a Tyrone point of view, I'd probably prefer Galway over Dublin for that reason, though Galway probably the better team.

The presumed Kerry v Armagh match will be big.

[Rossfan]

It's the 2nd teams v the 3rd teams.
You'd expect the 2nd teams to be better.
