1257371 Dublin: Lucky last year, found out this year! Liam and clondalkin wont have so much to say this year! ;)
If you have Sam Maguire sitting in your trophy cabinet by October, you deserve to have it. A team might get one flukey game, possibly two, but forget 3 lucky games. Dublin deserved their All Ireland last season, and in my opinion should have beat Kerry by alot more in the final.
I don't like putting the boot into any team. Pat Gilroy turned Dublin into a formidable outfit, I think they just lacked hunger this year in a way many champions suffer. However their comeback against Mayo today showed the damage they can do, if only it was a bit earlier in the game they might have swung it.
your spot on but the comeback all came from the fact we went into a traditional 6 man forward line and abndoned the defensive game it proves that they attacking style is still the best way to play as we won the last 20 minutes 9v2 when we did this and wiht forwards like the brogans,connolly,kilkenny,mcmannoman,o gara and young costello next year i think we should play more attacking
