A lot of people talking about the need to go long and direct, which I agree with to a point, but to do so you have to be unpredictable. To be fair to management we have been. Murray driving forward from midfield/halfback line, drawing the opposition uppon him and setting up overlaps would be a differnt dynamic and keep the opposition thinking. We are going to have to be very clever, going long and direct and it being repeatedly recycled will be a recepie for disaster.

James Smith and Ciaran Brady cavans best players in first half. Took the game to Dublin. Thomas Galligan and Madden got little ball but were well shackled. They both kicked good scores but mostly quiet. Though Galligan should have got a penalty. Sending him off with the game almost up a bit pointless. Martin Reilly got some nice scores Dublin intensity is another level. You can't make errors as Cavan learned Ulster title was a big lift after relegation and hopefully going forward Cavan have more players committing.

I wonder if Galligan was carrying an injury that he stayed in full forward for the whole game. Well done lads. They’ve brought great pride to the county.

No travel expenses, no need for overnight accommodation, no mileage just to train, don't have to pay for their own centre of excellence or build a decent home ground and still got all that investment. Other counties don't get and yet have more expenses but are accused of not having good volunteers. It takes great volunteers to fundraise for all that. Don't play away in a provincial championship.

Dublin did not slip nearly as much. They also lost the ball in the tackle far too often. Croke Park is definitely worth 5/6 points to the Dubs. Something not right with things either when Cavan have played 5 games and none in Breffni Park while Dublin have played every match in Croke Park.
