    Lazy mans analysis.

    Everyone knows who wins this final.

    The 2nd best team in the country didn’t lay a glove on them last year.

    The lazy analysis is the "shur everyone else just needs to up their game" like they can flick a switch. Completely ignoring reality.

    I think this dominance will require intervention to assist the other counties.

    Just other teams will have to work harder, train harder, manage harder, tactic harder strategise harder, go harder.

    The reality is Dublin are at the top right now and its really up to the rest to get better. Simple as and no lazy mans analysis there.

    Dublin hurlers created 2 teams when the hurlers were going well.

    I'm sure there's footballers in Dublin good enough for county so would make sense. I'd nearly divide them into 4, they'd still have a bigger population to choose from than most counties.

    There's more people in Tallaght than Cavan!!

    And find ways to make playing GAA their profession. What’s the going rate for a Dublin player to make an appearance at a corporate event? Wasn’t a figure of between €6000 and €10000 reported after the 5 in a row?

    People just shouldn't bother turning up to Dublin games. Simple as that. I'd say if it was normal this year you'd be lucky to get 30,000 at an AI final.

    Stop giving the GAA your hard earned money when most of it is handed back to Dublin.

    It would still be sold out. It’s a bloody great day out. I go every year, wouldn’t miss it.

    I know the greatest team in any sport in history have always been beaten. If teams don't believe then they don't have any reason to compete in the competition. Mayo probably should have beaten Dublin either 2013 2016 or 2017. Same as Kerry 2019.

    God i hope not. Really don't want to watch an all Dublin semi final lineup.

    Then you would have an All Dublin All Ireland semi final every year and Dublin winning every year.

    So what’s the outcry going to be like when the 4 Dublin ‘areas’ contest both semi finals? Or even the two areas.

    Splitting Dublin will ruin the whole ethos of the gaa in Dublin, which may or may not reduce the fan base, but if it works without doing that then most likely you will have 2/3/4 teams rabidly trying to beat each other and then everyone else.

    If we go straight knockout then maybe you could fix it so only one of those teams could get out of Leinster but league etc could easily be dominated by 2/3/4 Dublin teams.

    Either way take all the money off Dublin, they still win, split Dublin, they still win, merge other counties then? Is the answer just keep crippling Dublin until they can’t win anything? Once that’s complete where is the gaa future in Ireland?

    and you still wouldnt see the issue.

    You would give Dublin 4 times more a chance of winning the All Ireland.

    Who'd your money be on though, Dublin North, South East or West?

    I'd fancy the North to take it.

    Did you happen to watch any of those matches?

    Watched them all and i can say if those teams were more clinical they could have easily won.

    Crowds at Leinster championship games have been declining for years as people realise there's no point going to see 20 point hammerings.

    Nobody would care, if they're good enough they're good enough.

    Who wins between the 4 teams?

    They be more public outcry and the county of Dublin would have to be split into electoral divisions

    Do you think when Dublin split 4 ways that they will dominate? Which team? North?

    They couldn't be more dominant than they are today.

    ah very good. I dont like the facts so they must be ****e. Maybe by 2025 or even 2024 you'll come to your senses and realise the All Ireland is finished. They murdered leinster championship and All Ireland now on the same path. Sad to see a great sport sleep walk to its death

    Would you prefer to have an All Ireland championship without the best team in it?

    Makes perfect sense.

    It won't still solve the problem. You can't buy talent unless the gaa becomes professional.

    Yes you can,it happens in literally every professional sport in the world.
    Shouldn't happen in amateur GAA but here we are.
