Why do some teams adapt well to the qualifiers?

[Fishead_Sam]

Dublin are the most successful qualifier team followed by Tyrone (I think, it was in the Tribune yesterday). Donegal have just overtaken us into fourth place, forget who is third...

How can Dublin be the most successful Qualifier team when Kerry have a 100% record & Kerry beat them in the qualifiers one of those times.

[David McKeown]

I remember reading it in the all ireland final program last year that Kerry were the only team with a 100% record in the qualifiers, Armagh at the time were second with only one defeat to Galway.  Once back to the all ireland quarter final stage it no longer counted as back door game.  Of course there are lies damn lies and statistics.

Kerry have played the following qualiifers, 100% record.
2002  Wicklow,Fermanagh,Kildare

We are hopeful we can maintean our 100% Quarter final record in a few weeks with a 7-in-a- row.
