Replying To Fionn: "Heard from a mate of mine that Hill tickets are being sold by touts for over €100 each.
The bandwagon, and its crew, is back on the road for one more game it seems…!
;o)
Wonder what the split of fans on the day will be..?
Will we be outnumbered again this year.?
By the sounds of it, no, not for this game." Ticketmaster is going to be the ruination of GAA supporters. How can GAA keep track of who has been going to the championship games, then when the final comes along clubs have a major task with who gets tickets.

If this crop of young Dublin players goes on to win the all ireland this year and achieve alot of success in the coming years (possible) I wonder if it will go some way to validate claims by their detractors that the success of the 2010s wasn't a group of once in a lifetime players coming along at the right time but instead an inevitable product of Dublins superior wealth and resources.
After all surely two once in a lifetime teams arent going to come along one after the other will they?

Dublin have fallen back into the pack, no underage success in years, and still relying heavily on the old guard which in reality will be gone soon enough, and there's not been much underage success to remotely point towards another period of dominace like you suggest.
Dublin lose multiple games in Croke Park since 2023, deservedly beaten in Leinster by numerous teams now, and there was zero, zero talk about finances or home advantage and whatever else.
But win a couple of games again and its back to the money talk. Its very preditable stuff, they have the audacity to improve a bit and dig out a couple of very hard fought wins (against sides not good enough to win their province) and it's straight back belittling any sort of Dublin effort to it only being about money.
Sadly predictable.

They've been beaten by Westmeath and Louth this year. They were well beaten by Meath last year and dumped out with a limp display against Tyrone.
Those kind of things didn't happen to their generational team. They've fallen quite a bit from that standard, but still have some quality players and are capable of good performances. It'll be a big shock if they beat Kerry.
If any team look likely to dominate the next few years, it's Kerry. They have a good age profile with plenty experience at this stage and some very competitive underage teams coming up behind them.
Tyrone obviously have been excellent underage, but they have a bit to go yet.
Dublin have been very poor at underage for the past 5 years. Not even a provincial title at minor or U20 in that time.
Dublin's pick should always mean they will be competitive to a level, but that's a long way from what the Jim Gavin team achieved.

But realistically after a barren period of one all Ireland in 28 years to win 9 all irelands in 14 years and reach the semis in 21 and 22 (two games ye probably should have won tbh) and back in another one now with a good young team its a question worth asking surely?

The Kerry - Dublin championship rivalry pre-2011 was built upon championship clashes in a "neutral" Croke Park. Dublin have been playing their home league games in Croke Park since 2011. It has changed the dynamic of Kerry - Dublin championship clashes in what is now Dublin's home league ground...
Kerry's record against Dublin in Croke Park since 2011 makes for dismal reading. Kerry are still approaching these games with a pre-2011 mindset. If Kerry travel to Croke Park on Sunday with the mindset they might have approached taking on Armagh in Armagh in Round 3, Kerry might have some reasonable chance of backing up the surprising odds that have installed Kerry as favourites...
Interestingly when Kerry and Dublin clashed in the 2001 quarter final and replay in Thurles, Kerry had offered toss of a coin for home advantage. Dublin for only reasons that Dublin can explain - declined the offer!!
