Replying To Fionn:  "Our midfield and over reliance on Con will be our undoing though.

I think the Louth game could give is a true indication of where we are at....

Hearing Con is a major doubt for it.
Injuries seem to be happening very regularly to him this last couple of seasons, unfortunately.

As for our hurlers, thankfully we have Kilkenny in the Neller. The place will be packed.
The game away to Wexford will be a cracker also tbh.
With away to Galway sandwiched in between.
A tough 3 consecutive weeks..."
Yeah the Con issue keeps rearing it's head re injuries. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if he jacks it in after this season. I do think we will beat Louth on Saturday though, if all the negative talk since the win over Wicklow does not light a fire inside each and every squad member then I don't know what will! A good win against tough opposition would be just what's needed to get this squad up and running, build some confidence and start looking ahead. I don't even want to contemplate a loss.

I don't think anyone can fault their spirit. They have never given up in any game. They are just not good.

Will probably go down on Saturday as it is first time for a long time that a Dublin football team is in one of those Al Pacino moments where they are facing existential life or death on the pitch!

Expect there will be a big crowd and hope they can come out the right side of what could be one of the games of the year.

I think if our footballers lose to now favourites Louth, there will be more than Con having thoughts about retirement at the end of this season.

I previously predicted 2-3 to call it a day at the end of this inter county season, but a bad Leinster campaign will see that number increase, sadly....

Anyway, hopefully the fire in their belly's is on show this weekend - it needs to be.
This game could be season defining tbh.
