I am worried about this Dublin team going stale and hitting the same problem as the. Kerry team of the 70s/80s, where success meant the old stagers kept the young lads out. The Dubs are at a peak now but it might only take a couple of years before the momentum stops. A few more u21 lads need to be thrown in next year.

I think a few of them are looking jaded or maybe burnt out. Small turned out to be a great replacement for jack mc, But all in all they looked allot more beatable this year that 2015.

Perhaps, with three minors in a row, Kerry will come again. However, after inflicting crushing defeats on Kerry, Donegal and Mayo (the three best teams of the last decade) this year, Dublin may have some space to have a year off but still prevail as Tipp and Tyrone may not be fully ready. After that, Lowndes, Kilkenny, Byrne, Small, Costello, O'Callaghan may keep things going, it is only after that questions arise, but that may be well down the road.

Dean Rock is not even junior football standard and goes to pieces in big games as evidenced against Mayo last year. Brogan doesnt look the same player and same can be said of Flynn. On top of that Kevin Mc is in the starting team. This guy wasnt good enough to start 3 years ago, whats changed now? They have no subs worth talking about except Mannion. People going on about how good their squad is. Its about as good as KK's in hurling. They have a first 15 and thats it.
