I don't think mayo will go all out for the Dublin game. I do think Dublin will though

I stopped reading after this bit. Dublin who have won the last number of All Irelands and NFL titles will go all out for this game. Get a grip on yourself.

This is a gaa discussion. That is what the board is for man.

You don't have to part take if you don't want to, particularly if you think the Dublin gaa page is tragic..

As for Dublin, well at the end of the day, they have 1/5 of the population on the island. Why would 1/5 dictate to 4/5 on something that is clearly for the benefit of the entire gaa, when they would only be looking out for themselves? It is a bit like saying well we cant vote for banning drug cheats because the guys juicing up would never go for it!

I don't think mayo will go all out for the Dublin game. I do think Dublin will though, with Connolly back in, maybe some gametime for Bernard brogan too. I would like to see us box clever though, and stick someone else on Connolly, with keegan just let rampage up the field. He is going to be fitter than most at this time of the year. That would catch them unawares.

Dublin are set up to counter honest, but naïve ball to the inside line. Donegal were very smart in that they just retained possession and ran hard at the scoring zone before popping it back out. A bit like Italy in the rugby, they chose not to play Dublin's game, and it worked. They picked up free after free, as Dublin's highly aggressive tackling, which is so effective when running out to contest a ball, was working against them in open play. We have the runners to do this even better than donegal did, and the place kicker to punish it.
