Replying To brayballer:  "Great to be back in a semi again against the Kingdom.The Nell or Nowhere lol.The Yerras are favourites but we can deffo beat them.We have nearly all our players back now and its a free shot.Croke park with a full hill is worth a few points so we have no reason to fear.I know from a good pal that Kerry still very wary of the Dubs."
Interesting interviews by Ger and EF:-

We are in bonus territory, definitely.
3 games in 3 weeks inc an Extra Time.
At least Ger has 2 weeks to prepare the lads now...

We will be massive underdogs, as will be the winners of Mayo or Louth. It is the Munster men's to lose.
When you hear Tomas O'Se admit it, then that says a lot about how much of a favourite they are…!

Don't forget we are missing our starting full back, who is out for the season with a bad Achilles injury.
Also, Murch is still out.
And McGinnis is out with his Cruciate.
Not to mention Lahiff and Bugler who haven't been playing much at all.
Fingers crossed McMahon will be ok in 2 weeks.

Hopefully a big turnout by the Dubs supporters.
The team deserves that.

If getting Louth the Delaney wasn't enough but now getting Dublin to the All-Ireland Semi-Finals with all the setbacks from it like relegation to Div 2, his suspension, losing off the Leinster final and injury problems.

It's proven Ger Brennan is top coach in my book.

He is ahead of target imo by getting us to an AI semi final.
Positive greens shoots of progress to build on for next year and beyond.

We definitely missed Ger in the earlier rounds of the Championship. Hopefully we put in a good account of ourselves in 2 weeks. An unenviable task but at least Ger will have time to get the lads prepared for the challenge ahead…
