One of the things that most annoys Dublin fans on this forum is the ignorance displayed both about the county team and the clubs within the county. Anyone with a small bit of knowledge about the club hurling scene, or who took five minutes to check wouldn't have posted the above. If you are going to construct an argument against Dublin, at least get the facts correct, and when it comes to the money, include all the money all of the counties get, and then adjust it per capita.

Most of their older defenders still have 5 years left in them. Most of the younger players like O'Callaghan, 10. They've also won 4 U21 AIs in the last decade, more than any other county.

Someone with zero knowledge of the Dublin club scene takes off on an ill-informed rant about Dublin's advantages. 99% of the people who talk about Dublin's financial advantages haven't a clue about the amount of activity at underage level in Dublin and the amount of work put into looking after every kid who wants to play.

Dublin are better resources but also better run, the money isn't being wasted. Tbh I can see Dublin becoming dominant in hurling too.

blanch152 wrote: » Your argument was that only a few hurling clubs in Dublin were in with any chance of being successful and that one club dominated and this was somehow different to elsewhere. When the facts were examined, there was little difference between the Dublin, Tipperary and Kilkenny championships.
blanch152 wrote: » I have already posted the facts in another thread, but here they are again for ease of reference. From the 21 players that played in the 2015 final, there has only been Bastick, Alan Brogan and Paul Flynn who have left the panel. Two of the unused subs are gone - Brady and Savage - but the other three unused subs are still on the panel, meaning that 21 of the 26 named for the 2015 All-Ireland final are still involved with Dublin. How many of the Kerry team that played that day will play on the 1st of September? Well, I don’t think we will see Aidan O’Mahony, Brendan Kealy, Fionan Fitzgerald, Jonathon Lyne, Peter Crowley, Anthony Maher, Johnny Buckley, Donncha Walsh, Colm Cooper, James O’Donoghue, Brian Kelly, Kieran Donaghy, Bryan Sheehan, Barry John Keane, Darren O’Sullivan or Paul Galvin, will we? That is 16 of the Kerry 26 in 2015 who I don’t expect to see anywhere near the Kerry 26 on the 1st September (I am happy to be corrected if I have got one wrong). Apart from the five who I mentioned earlier, three others from the Dublin 26 in 2015 didn’t make the squad last Saturday - Bernard Brogan, Rory O’Carroll and Darren Daly - which meant that remarkably 18 of the 26 who were in the 26-man Dublin squad for the 2015 All-Ireland final were still in the squad last Saturday. Only around 10 of that Kerry squad survive. If there is one thing that you can say about this Dublin team is that it hasn’t changed anywhere near as quickly or as much as its rivals. That means when the end comes, it will come quickly, as they will have to replace quite a few at the same time. These are the facts. To give another example, of the Mayo team that started the 2012 All-Ireland final, there are only five who started last Saturday - Keegan, Vaughan, Boyle, Aidan O'Shea and Cillian O'Connor. All teams evolve. Dublin's team has actually evolved less than any other of the big counties.
