Mayo, Donegal, Kerry, Monaghan, Tyrone.

We won the All-Ireland last year by a point after a replay. We won the semi-final by 2 points having been 5 down at half time.

We won the All-Ireland in 2015 by 3 points having been taken to a replay in the semi final.

We won the All-Ireland in 2013 by a point. There was also a massive battle in an epic semi-final.

In 2011 we won the semi-final by 2 points having been behind for most of the game and won the final by a point coming from 4 points down with 6 minutes to play.

It'll be the same this summer. IF Dublin are to win there'll be close battles along the road.

The following in no particular order Kerry, Mayo, Donegal, Tyrone, Kildare in a leinster final, complacency, injuries to a couple of key players, poor referees (McQuillan), Dublin players reacting when Kerry decide to turn a football match into a wrestling match....In my opinion it's more likely that Dublin will not win the All-Ireland this year than win it.

Ulster teams to be honest Tyrone, Mongahan and Donegal.

Cant see the current incarnations of Kerry or Mayo teams beating the current Dublin team at probably their 5th odd time of asking.

Kerry, Mayo, Donegal. Tyrone and Monaghan on their day will give us a scare

Mayo and Kerry, on any given day we could be caught by either of these two, especially Mayo who have caused us more strife than the Kingdom.

I posted on Dublin pageThd H2o is disappearing from the well and disappearing fast , conventional wisdom tells you in sport everyone can and eventually will be beaten , and boy have we danced with danger in our run, the thing is in a one off us versus anyone I back us all day , in other words there's no one I fear but fate I can't see who is going to beat us but know someone eventually will, and while it maybe a shock at the time truth is you can not get out of jail as often as we have and not eventually come up short.I watched live seamus Darby score that goal , nobody saw that coming

Biggest threat, despite thinking otherwise up to recently, will be Kerry

But that said, I have no fear of playing them whatsoever

If Donegal might go mad and leave MM in at 14 and play to his strengths, they would also feature

But, to name one team, Kerry.

In no particular order Kerry, Tyrone, Donegal, Mayo, Kildare in possible Leinster final, Complacency, Injuries to key players, Poor referee (McQuillan), Kerry turning a football match into a wrestling match. It is more likely Dublin will not win the All-Ireland than they will win it.

I think it's likely to be an Ulster team. Any team, no matter how talented, will struggle against opposition who can deploy a disciplined, well drilled blanket defence AND can break at fast pace punishing you with accurate shooters AND can push up and disrupt the Cluxton distribution. Check all three boxes and you will beat Dublin. Donegal have done it before and Tyrone have come close a couple of times. Monaghan almost did it on Sunday but ran out of steam and their defence opened up. Go man to man with this Dublin team and you will lose. I think Donegal could bring Dublin down if they get the tactics right per above but you need to punish Dublin on the break and that means goals, Murphy won't get those from the halfway line.

Maybe if we formed a Super Rest of Ireland team and they got to have a training camp to gel together
