Well we all kinda knew it would come to this .
But who will win? Dubs perhaps best team of modern era, or can the kingdom do back to back again?
Call it

Going to be a great build up to this final.
The two best teams in the country by a long way.
Can't wait.

Kerry

My reasons?

They are alot more clever than Mayo and have even better forwards than Dublin

Probably Kerry if the Gooch was back near his best in the last few games, but he'll hardly be able to hit top form at this stage of the year. Dublin have more options up front, not that Kerry or a one or two man show themselves, so that might just swing it in their favour by 2 or 3 points

The powers that be and RTE will be creaming themselves in anticipation of the final that they always wanted, at this stage I couldn't give a s**t who wins. Gutted for Mayo.

Think both teams will play defensive, think kerry have more with regards know how to grind out a win so will go with a win for the kingdom!

When Kev mc comes on Kerry will sh..t themselves, 2011 , 2013 now 2015 .
Its a case of the emperors new clothes,Kerry luck has now run out, Mayo were better than Kerry last year and would of easily beat them this year, it just happens Dublin are a small bit better than Mayo and I think will have too much for Kerry.

Dublin have better forwards than Kerry, the have the best half forward line in the country in Flynn Kilkenny and Connolly and the best half back line in McCaffrey O Sullivan and McCarthy. I'm hoping Kerry can do it but feel the dubs have the measure on us i.e. in 11 and 13. They could do a Tyrone on us like 03, 05, 08. We need Goals in the final, as you can put your house on it that Kevin Mac will get a goal or two against us. May the best team win.

I'm with Brend, no harm to Dublin or Kerry but unlike what O'Rourke claimed its isn't the final I wanted at start of the year, one or the other no problem but prepare yourselves now for a bombardment of the seventies rivalry a la the Late Late 125 show. 2011 was different, Dublin trying to bridge the gap from their last win, had a novel feel to it. Spoke to a few others (and some from outside the county so no not just a Tyrone thing) and they agree, hopefully we'll get a good match but a hard one to get excited about in the build up for a neutral.

I go for Kerry they have by far the most gifted natural footballers they have wised up to the blanket and all variations thereof ,the oulasted a younger faster Tyrone team in dreadful weather conditions they have a backroom laden with All Ireland experience I cringe with envy when I see Mikey Sheehy 10 finals Diarmuid Murphy 6 finals and Eamonn Fitzmaurice 5 finals between them 15 all Ireland medals saunter out behind their team add Cian O Neill Mayo's loss Krry's gain and you have all the ingredients natural footballers who are now athletes Dublin athletes not all natural footballers but with an outstanding team ethic. I look forward to a great encounter and can see th aristocrats from the Kingdom just about shade it
2 15 1 16 !!

Kerryrowz,how can u say Dublin have better forwards than Kerry?its the dream final and the two best teams in Ireland,it's 50/50 like last years all Ireland and no one can call it,

At the minute. Im not too concerned about who will win.

I'm just over the moon to see Dublin back in an all ireland final.

When we where beaten by Cork in 2010, Getting to an All ireland final, let alone winning one, Seemed so far away. Now we are preparing for our third in 5 years.

What a side.

I think Kerry have the better forwards,to be honest Paul Flynn has not played well this season and Dean Rock is not a good enough player.Connolly is brilliant or nothing.Kilkenny,Brogan and Andrews are class acts.
As for Kerry,well they haveCooper, O'Donaghue,Geaney,Donaghy,Walsh(underrated),Buckley etc.A better balance imo. Rock would be nowhere near the Kerry side..

I was hoping for a Mayo v Kerry final because it would have been a shoot out , a proper attacking game of football but that's life and I'd rather lose to a team that play football than lose to a defensive team like Dublin .
Ah well it looks like we'll have to go to a blanket deffence for a second final in a row :-(

Generally when Tyrone go out I usually back the Dubs as they are my second favourite county but I am seriously behind this Kerry this time.

I have huge respect and time for Eamon Fitzmaurice unlike Jack O'Conor who always struck me as a bit of a grumpy old man who couldn't accept a beating.

Also Jim Galvin has made me sick this past few years talking about Dublin 'Playing the game the right way' when in fact they will play the game anyway (including the negative way) as long as it garners results.

I just wish he would have the balls to make a honest statement intend of all the hypocrisy he sprouts.

I thought Kerry at the start of the year, and I hope to be proven wrong, but I think they will play cuter and more cynical than Mayo and are still the team to beat. If Kerry went 4 up they would slow it down and Donaghy would develop a mystery cramp or some other ailment to stop any momentum Dublin might have if coming back.
Neutrals may or may not like it but I think it will be another cracker.
