Looking forward to seeing the champs next weekend and wondering what team Jim will pick. What's people's thoughts? obviously I know were going to win but let's hope it's not a awful hammering.

Hopefully the game is over by half time and we can empty the bench

;)

Give McHugh a run...

Not even worth starting a thread about.

Maybe Jimbo will give you a run out Clondalkin, just to keep the rest of us interested until half time at least.

RebelCork the posters of hoganstand love nothing better than a thread about Dublin so trust me this is not a wasted thread.

It is a thread worth starting. I think we will see a bit from laois on sat, partially because dublin may not be able to gee themselves up yet, it must be hard to get excited about fixtures like this compared to what they have been used to over the past few years. Dublin should win handy though in the second half. I saw laois already this year, they hadnt started to train by the look of them, but they have shaped up well since. I presume we will see a few new faces sprung in the second half for Dublin. Most interesting players to watch on sat would be Flynn and A. Brogan. I also expect Osullivan to get going in a big way on sat.

The first 15 minutes will be nip tuck

After that...

Laois will be doing well to be within 8-10 points by the end of the game

Dublin should beat them by about 10 though

10 pt margin would be a poor result for Dublin.
I would imagine they will be looking to run up a cricket score.

Something like 3 24 to 1 6 would be my prediction.
As I said yesterday, the Dublin boys only have to turn up.
The stadium isn't going to be fully open which says it all really.
Little more than a training exercise for the jacks.

A little humility goes even further

Sense of humour boys...

Tis only a laugh...

It's sport FFS... not real life

jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20763 - 30/05/2014 14:19:47    1595653

fair play to liam alright but I think this match will be really just a low grade training session for the Dublin boys.
sad really when you think back a decade ago when you had the likes of ourselves n Westmeath winning leinsters.
different universe now.
