While I would love it to be a tight game and the GAA need a tight game more than ever, no matter how the Dubs supporters try to dress it up they will win by at least 7.
Not much difference between the firepower on each side but the Dublin defence and their bench are far superior.
The worry would be if it is a tight game it will paper over the cracks in the association.
If, as I expect, it is a damp squib with 25mins to go hopefully it will force the GAA to do something about the imbalance that currently exists between the Dubs and the rest of the country (not Dublin's fault by the way)
Are they though? I think the Dublin defenders are decent but they've had it easy against the many teams who drop off Dublin. When teams have gone man to man the Dublin defenders don't look markedly better than many others.
You don't make a Kerry senior football team unless you're a good footballer and while many of the Kerry defenders are more half backs than full backs I suspect they're nowhere near as bad as many here are suggesting.
The Dublin bench is better but again, I'm not sure they've a much better bench. A good few of their game changers are older and, I think, less effective now.
Yes, as a defensive group they are much better than Kerry. I doubt anyone other than a Dub trying to talk up the opposition would say otherwise.
Similarly the Dubs bench is much stronger.
OSullivan, Murchan, Costello, McMahon, Connolly & Andrews were the subs that came on in the semi final. Not to mention what was left.
And you dont think they have a much better bench

Most of those players would start on any other county every day of the week
