Dublin will be back next year with the meanest attack in the game alone with a robust defence (missing this year). Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 01/10/2014 14:47:14 1659027 Link 0 |

Yerra, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward immensely to see can we defend our hard won title in 2015. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 01/10/2014 15:36:30 1659053 Link 0 |

If this year proves anything then you cant assume anything in sport....was this year not meant to be Dublin v Mayo part 2....Kerry were in transition and Donegal were gone backward?????? All four teams I have mentioned will be back next year and you can add Cork, Galway, Armagh, Tyrone to that list who can cause damage plus a few more surprises... yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 01/10/2014 16:37:05 1659091 Link 0 |
Tommy Walsh 7 years out of the game next season that's along time away it mightn't come to him as easy as people might think, also the Gooch out for the season with a cruciate and 32 next year so you wouldn't know what level he'll be at, if they both come back as what they were then were all in serious trouble. I reckon a Mayo v Kerry final the Dubs were found out this years to be average. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 01/10/2014 16:45:35 1659095 Link 0 |
The last 6 champions have not made the final in the following year, as the capital only know too well. The Ulster finalists will be favourites on that side of the draw. For now, we'll winter well. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7757 - 01/10/2014 16:48:19 1659096 Link 0 |
Dublin are odds on to make the final, Kerry won't make it past the Quarter finals, the best time to beat Kerry is that round as it's their 1st champ game in Croke Park, all depends who they play and if they win Munster or not. Mayo, Donegal, Cork should make Quarters, Tyrone, Armagh, Kildare, Monaghan, Meath and Galway probably battle it out for the other 3 places, Roscommon could be a dark horse for 1 place, can't see Mayo or Galway winning Connacht in 2015 with new managers. 2015 will be a funny year with new bosses, will Jim McGuinness still be in charge of Donegal. I'm also putting my head on the block for final (if McGuinness is still there) Dublin v Donegal with Dublin winning, without McGuinness it's Dublin v Cork, Dublin winning. There will be no challenge from Connacht in 2015 (i hope i'm wrong) riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 01/10/2014 17:13:30 1659108 Link 0 |

Riverboy, we've only lost two Q-finals in the past 13 years since their introduction and only one of them was when we were the reigning champions. Facts don't support your theory there son. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 01/10/2014 17:38:08 1659117 Link 0 |
Far to early to be suggesting Dubs will make final next year.People on saying they were cert for this year.Kerry will make final alright and get the handy route in Munster as usual. Handed this years AI so back to back titles are likely alright. BallBearing (USA) - Posts: 72 - 01/10/2014 19:34:19 1659145 Link 0 |

Ah now,Kermit you know the truth is hard to take alright. You wouldn't be so touchy if you didn't get a soft one this year.Better to win one the proper way and not be getting these oul AI where an error hands ye the title.Sure look ye can take it ye will get a by in Munster again and be back in the hunt and sure you might be able to put things right.

Kerry are on the ulster side of the semi finals. That means, if they get passed cork which is very likely, home fixture this year in killarney), they will be automatically in a quarter final v a back door team. Possible semi finalists will be the winners from ulster/back door. The other side of the draw would look like mayo v dublin in the semi.. unless galway can upset the apple cart next year or roscommon for that mater.

Yerra yankie whatever you say boss. No point trying to get into any serious debate with some fella whose only interested in spewing bregrudgery about Kerry. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 01/10/2014 21:12:27 1659187 Link 0 |
When Kerry win their quarter final matches then there is no stopping them after that, they are in their stride, very rarely do they lose a semi or final for example 2011 defeat to Dublin so the best time to beat Kerry is quarter final stage, you aren't going to meet Kerry in 1st round of qualifiers. In 2013 and 14 Kerry were cruising in 1st half but dropped off the pace in 2nd half in both quarterfinals v Cavan and Galway. If both teams had pushed harder, made changes and tactics then Kerry could have been beaten those days. By the way Kerry lost to Down in quarterfinal in 2010 and Donegal 2012, so since 2010 which is 5 championships Kerry have won 3 out of 5, beating Mayo in 2011 and 14 and Cavan in 2013 so yes my assessment is correct. Since 2000 Kerry have lost only 3 semifinals out of 10, to Meath in 2001, Tyrone in 03 and Dublin in 2013. The time to beat Kerry is Quarter final stage riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 01/10/2014 21:32:53 1659198 Link 0 |

Armagh and Tyrone are coming from the north. Sam Maguire was at Austin Stack Park today for the county quarter-finals before heading off for Listowel! For now we winter well. Ciarraí abú! legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7757 - 04/10/2014 21:31:33 1660218 Link 0 |
