Is it Dublin to take at will?
Should be interesting to see other side of draw to see who will get into final, my hope is that meath will make it, but hard to see beyond another leinster for Dublin

My money is on Kildare. This will be their year I feel. If they beat Dublin the teams on our side of the draw will have a better chance and should make for a more exciting final.

Why Kildare they have failed abysmally the last five years. Why should this year be any different?? It's Dublin's at a canter

Jesus if we've failed abysmally then it really highlights how poor the majority of the rest of the province has been.

I think he means by their expectations and the potential the Kildare team had/have. There's no doubt you should have at least 1 Leinster by now but your failure against Dublin is the reason for this.

The only team to beat Dublin in the last 8 Leinster championship's was meath. That's a sad reflection on the province although teams like Kildare, Meath Laois and Wexford have come painfully close a number of times since 2005.

No point tipping anybody bar the Dubs for the foreseeable future so.

On paper, Nobody in leinster will beat Dublin, But games aren't won on paper. Last time I checked however, Games were won on pitches not on paper.

I'm confident that Dublin will win leinster though.

The Leinster football championship is now a bore-fest to the neutral like the hurling was until last year. Dublin and Kilkenny dominating it has taken a lot of interest away from it. Dublin didn't even do a lap of honor after beating Meath in last years final. If westmeath were to beat the dubs there'd suddenly be huge interest in the remaining counties. It would actually be a win/win as the money generated through the dubs in the qualifiers would be quite a lot.

Lets hope Westmeath win then : D

I'd much prefer a Kildare v Louth final then Dublin to beat Meath, Wexford or Laois again.

Louth have a great chance of reaching the final on the weak half of the draw

I'll certainly be having a punt on Louth to beat Laois. There won't be much in it but I fancy Louth to shock them.

I be more worried about meeting say Wexford and Meath after that.

Dublin will win Leinster at a canter.

Daft to look beyond Dublin really, much as I'd like to say otherwise.
Other side of the draw is fascinating. Any of 3/4 teams could reach final.

i certainly will not be putting that bet on, meath and dublin to make the final like last year and dublin to win it comfortably, unlike last year.
