Very, very poor final. Donegal were really awful. Kerry better side but didn't have to do much. Donegal really fell apart mentally and physically and for them that will be hard to take. Kerry dominated everyone this year particularly Ulster sides. Well done Kerry, worthy champions.

Well done Kerry. Thought Donegal would have made a match of this final but results don't lie all season. Tyrone beat them twice and both Tyrone and Armagh are the only teams that can beat Kerry.

Congratulations Kerry.

Some superb scores.

Some achievement for Jack O'Connor and his team.

Well done.

Donegal confidence unfounded. They talked, but Kerry do what Kerry do and that's write history.

Replying To endgame:  "Those form lines don't work. Meath beat Kerry and Donegal hammered Meath. Counts for nothing. Doesn't mean Donegal will beat Kerry."
That particular formline did work though.

If Kerry dominated Armagh and Tyrone, and they did, why is it surprising that they dominated Donegal? Maybe Donegal weren't awful, and maybe Kerry are significantly better than the 3 top sides in Ulster in 2025.

Poor final. Over really after 20 minutes. Two negative teams playing. We needed Galway or Mayo and the Dubs. Split Kerry in two. You lot said it about Dubs a few years ago. Give Connacht teams a chance.

Replying To endgame:  "Agreed. That's my point. The knockout games are the true test of form."
No, your point was that Kerry's formline through Armagh and Tyrone (compared to Donegal's formline in Ulster against those sides) wasn't significant. I think we saw this afternoon that it was very significant.

Dublin beat Kerry in 4 All Ireland finals and 2 All Ireland semi finals 2011-2023. The end of the great Dublin team was always likely to have one beneficiary Kerry.

Murphy had his day, but can't have a player walking around like he was for the entire second half of an All Ireland final. Donegal may as well have been down to 14 men.
