Kieran Donaghy feels Kerry need to match Dublin's "aggressive streak" if they are to dethrone Jim Gavin's side.

The Kerry veteran points out that it's frowned upon more when the Kingdom resort to getting physical but believes playing on the edge is a neccessary evil if the Dubs' dominance is to be broken:

"Dublin have that aggressive streak. They will do anything to win and I think that's what's driving that [29-game unbeaten run] along with the confidence of winning," the former Footballer of the Year notes in The Irish Daily Star.

"It's tricky for Kerry. If they are at it, it seems like a bigger deal than if somebody else is at it. They're known as the aristocrats, all play football and all lovely guys.

"For us, it has to be about having that edge and I think when we bring the edge and go over the top possibly, it's looked upon as worse that we are doing it. But any time we've brought that edge, we've got the result."
