They're not, and it's not just the experienced Dublin vs the young Derry lads. A lot of Derry ones are very slight and a lot of the younger Dubs look much stronger.

And whatever about Fenton vs Glass, Fenton has looked levels above both Rodgers and Bradley here without getting out of second gear.

Rogers will be disappointed with his form so far this year. He was much better than Fenton this time last year and he'll need to be again if we meet them later down the road!

Agreed. Not quite this level yet tbh.

Noticed that today at an under 20 game with both teams.. physically, Dublin at different level of physical strength
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Great appetite and workrate from the Dubs. Mototring along nicely. Some great scores by both sides but Derry didn't really bring it in the second half, so can't read too much into it.

Some amount of Palestinian flags at the Dubs end

I just can't get my head around how Derry have so many men back, yet any sort of run in the final third from a Dublin player resulted in them being free in space & their "marker" 5-10 metres off them.

Derry don't look fit at all.

Disappointing given the game it had been billed as all week, but can understand Harte's thinking. They'll play again in a few weeks.

Dublin 1-16 Derry 1-11. No real surprise that result with the amount of changes Derry made.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

When we're full out we've plenty of strength that wouldn't be a worry for me.

Not often I think Sean Cavanagh is worth quoting but he said the Dubs performance v Kerry spooked Derry a bit and I think that's exactly what's happened - Mickey & Derry blinked first. Dubs came out with the f**k you we're the Dubs attitude and won pulling up. Bigger battles ahead surely but Derry took a big backwards step 2nite imo.

Yeah I think you are right and Micky picked a weakened side as he maybe knew what was coming. Derry a good side just not that level (hopefully it'll come)

Mickey continuing his excellent record against Dublin,Kerry and Mayo
