May as well kick it off as the the semis are not worth mulling over. Great game in prospect here, Kerry gunning big time for us and we want to keep our foot on their throat I would imagine. Kerry's desire for taking us down a bit could well be enough as they're playing very well right now, hard one to call!

Kerry should be playing minus donaghy in the final for his coming together with the rossies man's head. Looked intentional if you play it back and watch it. After the Murphy incident you have to wonder what this guy needs to do to see the line !

With this being Dublin and Kerry's last real game for 4 months I expect it to have a real championship intensity... could be the best league final in a number of years.

Dublin will walk Leinster,but lets face it,they dish out hidings to teams who are stronger than the others in Leinster.

Wouldn't be surprised one bit if this went Kerry's way and I think they will be really out to win the final.
Having said that , Dublin don't fear Kerry and could well prove they have the ability to beat them on the final stage again.
Close ,tight game will go down to the wire .

The Dubs will do the business.

Kerry for Sam, the League too if they want it.

I'm just suprised Roscommon and Donegal were so bad today. They're far better than than.

I was at the league final in 2009. I was at many more in the years before that as well. Never again. The regular league games are enough. Win, lose or draw, the league finals offer no excitement. It's all championship preparation at the end of the day. I wouldn't be getting up early in the morning to catch a train for it. It'll be useful to get the game ahead of the championship. That's all there is to say about it. No more or no less.

I think there'll be plenty getting excited for this fixture, league final or not, expect a decent crowd too, 60,000?

First Dublin / Kerry league final in 29 years. I'm sure plenty will be excited about it. I certainly am.

Dubs to win by +4 ..put the house on it...

People might get excited before the fixture. There will be any empty feeling after it win, lose or draw. There isn't much relevance to it. When has a league final ever featured on GAA Gold?

Looking forward to this immensely, think we will see a far better game than last September, today's games were a non event as Donegal don't appear to have the legs anymore and Roscommon were just poor. I have s sneaky feeling Kerry could win this but I wouldn't put any great money on it

Thank God a lot of us don't share legendix dismissive attitude.It is a big game between the two best sides in the country with a lot of recent history.No way these teams will be going through the motions.I expect it to be one of the most fiercely fought league finals since i've been watching them.Quite a lot at stake really.Four-in-a-row legendary status or the Kingdom to put the men from the capital back in their box?Whats not to like about that?

I remember the '87 game like yesterday, both teams weren't dining at the top table at the time.

Dublin 1-11 Kerry 0-11 (Duff with the Dublin goal)

legendzxix does have a point, once the Championship starts the feeling of victory or defeat in this game will become of little importance to our football emotions.
