All saying Dublin will win 3 or 4, I don't think they will, if they don't win next year or year after, I foresee some years in the doldrums.

Offaly anyone in 5 -10 years?

I'll have what you're having!  ;D ;D ;D

Any mention of Derry, Offaly or Monaghan can't be taken seriously.

Are Derry or Monaghan   in any worse condition than Donegal were  in 2010?

You can add Armagh to that group.

No AI in them either

I don't feel confident that Donegal will win another AI in the next 10 years, but I would be confident that were we to win one, we'd win at least another one. If we can figure out how to utilise the talent we have, and to make a break through to the top table, I think we'd hang around for a while and win a couple. But that break through is looking less and less likely unfortunately.

I think its unlikely, especially if we don't do it in the next two or three years before Murphy is done.

Defense just isn't good enough.

I'll be happy if we add a few Ulsters and maybe make a semi or two.

Yeah you're probably right , but  a lot can happen in  10 years  of football. Look at where we were in '96, and within 10 years we had won the AI, NFL,  6 Ulster's and been to another AI final and 3 semis .

?
The days of counties of Offaly size and resources even reaching a senior All-Ireland final is very rare nowadays.
True sadly and hasn't happened for many a day.
Last 3 were Offaly 1982, Ros 1980 and Cavan 1952.
11 smaller Counties who will at best win a Provincial, a Div 2 or some future Intermediate AI:-
Cavan, Fermanagh,  Monaghan,  Sligo  Leitrim,  Ros, Longford,  Westmeath, Offaly, Laois and Carlow.

Throw in hurling Counties Clare, Tipperary, Limerick  Waterford,  Wexford and Kilkenny.

Add London, Wicklow, Louth and Antrim.

Yeah, that's fair. And of course perspective is everything ... a few Ulsters and an AI SF or two would have seemed like a dream 11 years ago

Be interesting to see what Donegal become when Murphy quits.

Hopefully they'll drop off a right bit and same with Monaghan and McManus

Not really, but the difference is the top teams are much much better.

carlow will be lucky to be in the Intermediate championship, they might win a Junior, unless they improve.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Take care when predicting ten years in advance as the bookies don't fancy your chances of winning the next one, never mind any beyond that.
I was shocked to find that both Paddy Power re offering at the minute odds of Dublin triumphing at odds of 11/8. Kerry are second place at 6/4 with Tyrone and Mayo next, tied on 9/1.
Betfair is giving the same odds.
I can't make head nor tails of this.

Tbh I think those odds seem about right.

nrico2006

I think it's pretty obvious that Dublin would be favourites next year followed by Tyrone, Kerry/Mayo.
