Liam your honesty is refreshing around here, at least you don't beat around the bush and you call it as you see it.

Fair play.

the more I think about this game the more I think Kerry can pull off the upset of all upsets. they have the quality forwards that a team needs to beat Dublin.. if you look back to the mayo vs Dublin games of recent times it was the real scoring ability of the mayo forwards that enabled them to go to the wire, Kerry can match that if not more for me. And with O Shea being so reliable from free kicks in decent range they will be able to punish Dublin if Dublin get sloppy and make mistakes back there.

I would expect excellent movement on the inside as per from Clifford, having watching his movement closely all year I would expect him to win close range free kicks that will be tapped over, and then we have David and Geaney, on good days they are second to none for inside forwards. Big call whether to go with Walsh or not in FF, personally I would start him as I think he could be a serious provider for Clifford and Geaney next week and we have seen the Dublin full back line in sixes and sevens before.

Maybe im getting carried away lol but I predict Kerry by 3

Not so, it was the lack of the quality of forwards that meant Mayo couldn't quiet get the job done.
Mayo's real strength was in their backs which enabled them to stay in the games and their physicality and fitness.
Kerry have better forwards undoubtedly and this will always give you a chance. If they are to win their backs will have to have the game of their lives and break even in midfield.
Really looking forward to a cracking game and may the best team win.
Finished here now until after next Sunday.

COYBIB.

It was the exact opposite. It was their ridiculously good backs that made them so formidable. Something Kerry struggle with.

"You could never wish to beat..."? Don't bother to try then. We'll take it whichever way it comes. Hard or easy is all the same to us!

No. The Mayo defenders were superb and kept Dublin at bay yes, but without the quality forwards and such a reliable free taker that they had then they would have never been close to Dublin on any of them occasions. The good forwards and ability to take long range and tricky scores is what brought the games down to the wire

You know your stuff boy, there's no doubt about that. Mayo's forwards that done it, ya that was it alright.
Any chance of you taking a spot on the Sunday game panel ? ;)))

With one or 2 more scoring forwards mayo would have won at least 1 all Ireland and maybe 2

Not for me. Undoubtedly a great team and maybe you have a point going back to 2016/2017 when Cillian was at his best but Mayos shooting has been awful the past two years. Their backs have kept them in tight games. There are no better set of backs in the country however.

When you consider Kerry have played 5 out of their 6 championship games away from home this year we've done brilliant to get this far,

but we can't stop here and we need to finish it off now, and even though we'll have to take on the mighty dubs in their own backyard with what is a bunch of young inexperienced players but I think we'll do it ,

I'm really looking forward to next Sunday, can't wait and bring it on.

Roscommon have an excellent set of scoring forwards but they haven't got the mix right so suffered badly after the provincial competitions.

Mayo's backs, and half back line in particular were immense and were their main source of scores in some games. They are hugely overrated as defenders though and consistently coughed up big scores in games. Mayo's supposed lockdown rearguard is a total myth imo.

I see Kerry 5 or so winners of this to be honest with you. They have the forwards that Mayo lacked and could be a long aul day for the Dubs.
I can't see it as a surprise at all as some are making out.
I'll be collecting on Monday week.

Don't rule out a draw. There haven't been too many this year

Fair play to the posters who are so optimistic about a Kerry win, i just don't see it. Dublin haven't lost a championship game in 5 years - which gives an idea of the task facing Kerry. Kerry were poor in the Munster final, could easily have lost to Donegal and were 4 down at HT against Tyrone, perform anyway like on Sunday and they'll be ripped apart. I was in croke park for the semi final and never seen a team turn the screw the way Dublin did at the start of the 2nd half, no team can live with that. Add to that the strength in depth and it's hard to see how Kerry win this. I hope at the very least we get an exciting and competitive final, if not then Dublin will have won an AI without anyone putting it up to them - except for 35 minutes against Mayo.
Dublin by 5
