Based on what I saw, the standards in Kildare and Wexford are going backwards. It was a very poor match, with little of the intensity you'd expect from championship football. Kildare did OK in the first half, but were just hanging on in the second half. Maybe the game will stand to them combined with a relatively decent league, but if I was a Kildare man I wouldn't be confident.

I think it took them by as much surprise, as it did Kerry. With a little bit more belief and planning for the goal mouth situations they found themselves in, we would have met them in the AI final, not Kerry. And Tyrone would have turned up on the day too, guaranteed !

Mayo drew with Dublin and might have pipped them yet everyone is talking about the team that nearly beat a team that lost the final. Clearly to me anyway Mayo were the second best side last year. Tyrone may have made up serious ground on everyone since but going on last years form Mayo are right there. Kerry had a bad final and a bad league final, but they had a bad division 1 league final compared to a good division 2 final. I think Kerry would beat Tyrone again, wouldn't be too surprised if they didn't, I don't buy that Kerry and Mayo have gone away. I just think that this Dublin team has one over this Kerry team. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kerry beat everyone else, and someone else beating Dublin

Would be dishonest of me to say that it doesn't potentially make it more doable for Dublin, but wouldn't wish any player an injury like that. Hope he recovers quickly.

Realt Dearg Sec wrote: » Underrated by who? He was hurler of the year in 2014. Along with tj he's widely regarded as the heart of the current forward set up. Probably would say one the top five, maybe top three, forwards the country. dunno whose shadow he's been under but it hasn't been anyone I can think of in the last three or four years. Huge loss to be without him, though his form wasn't good in the league. Certainly his absence makes playing a sweeper more attractive to Dublin. I always love seeing a team play a sweeper when Richie is on the field because he completely disrupts that game plan. Without him we don't really have a good pacey trouble maker near the 45.

Realt Dearg Sec wrote: » Pretty sure we can score points from beyond the forty! Anyway IMO the sweeper system ultimately failed Dublin under Daly and he never put trust in the players that he had actually inspired to go and win. Not sure if the team now is as talented as it was then, but there again, neither are Kilkenny. The forward that is still there, but we're shaky at the back, to say the least, at least at the full back line, where we haven't been as poor in my adult life. Taking a forward away from there would be a ludicrous idea, letting our weakest point off the hook to worry about our strongest. Hope ye do it anyway, but without hogan it might be more effective.

Not sure he has the players and wary that some day in /summer they will be turned over big time and hammered, but sure be used to that! I actually fancy them to beat you boys Realt. Don't ask me to rationalise it! just think this is game he's been looking at and there are zero expectations of them,
