It all feels very fitting that, what will probably be the end of alot of these Dunlin players career, will finish against Kerry, the team they beat to win their first All Ireland back in 2011 (Cluxton. Fitzy, James McCarthy, Dean Rock) . Wether it will have the same outcome with the Dubs lifting Sam we will see on Sunday, what I would say is that it feels like a closing of the book one way or the other.

Feels like this one would mean the world to them if we were to win it and despite the 8 so far, there would be massive regret if we don't get over the line this weekend.

I'm zen about it all personally. I think we will win but I've seen us win loads and my life has changed alot since our last one a few years ago with the birth of my first child so what I used to call important (winning all irelands and supporting the Dubs everywhere) is now far less important and for me this weekend it'll all be about enjoying the occasion.

Savour it all, this could be the last big push of the greatest side in history.

Win or lose, we could be seeing the end of quite a few legends.

It might just be Dublin's last final appearance for a while..

It'll be some story if they can pull off one more.. a few lads leaving with the greatest haul of All Ireland medals.

9 in the sock drawer.. GAA history defining stuff

Best of luck to the Dubs tomorrow. I think it will be a tight on. I will come down to a few tight matchups. What will kerry do with mannion when Morley drops into the pocket. Who will dublin match up with white. Bugler would be my choice if he was fit. Finally it's nearly a given that murchan will take p clifford but who goes after david. I would love to see James mc at it. What do ye think?

Up like a kid on Christmas morning, beers in the fridge, sambos made, heading up to Corker at about 11:30.

Been a great year, Limerick, Cork, Derry, Navan, League final, Portlaoise, Kilkenny, Leinster, battering Glen Ryan, Mayo and here we are in the home of the six in a row against Kerry for the big one.

Enjoy today lads and ladies, enjoy this team - Stevo, Jamise, Fitzer, Jack, Fento, Con, Deano, Kilkenny Smally, Howard and Mannion - this might be the last day we saw them all together. All legends and we will talk about these players for generations and will be the lads every Dublin player, indeed maybe every player will be compared with from now until the end.

Today might well just be our last dance - but what years we've had. Lets hope we have one left in the tank.

For the day that's in it:

Congratulations to Dublin on winning another All Ireland and also to James McCarty, Stephen Cluxton and Mick Fitzsimonds for making history on winning nine All Ireland medals. It could have gone either way and Kerry will regret that turnover for the deflected goal and the fact that David Clifford missed a host of scores that he would normally get. David Gough had an excellent game also and I am not sure why the Dublin supporters were so disrespecfull to him during the presentation. If anythink I would expect that Kerry might well think that James McCarthy could easily have been booked a second time on a few occasions.
Having won so many All Irelands by small margins proved once again that this Dublin team are warriers and never give up. They find a way to win under huge pressure and deserve huge respect.
The Dublin supporters should really celebrate this one as it is special. It might be the last time you see some of these outstanding players in Croke Park.

Hard to get worked up about another Dublin coronation.

What a group. Book closed on this team. Never lost an ireland in 11 attempts. Ridiculous. Build a statue of Mick Fitz. Fella is outrageous. Clifford lost his head.
