All Ireland Group Stage Predictions

(Oldest Posts First)

So with the League over who do we think will make the group stage. Down are obviously in, then you'd confidently predict Dublin, Kerry, Mayo from provincials whcih means.
1 other from Connacht - Roscommon or Galway (both would qualify through league anyway)
2 from Ulster - Will probably be Tyr/Arm and Don/Derry/Mon.
1 other from Munster - Probably Clare
1 other from Lein - Kildare/Westmeath or Louth I guess

So that would be Top 13 in League (Cork and all teams above them) plus Down, Clare and 'other Leinster finalist'. I dont think Louth can qualify through League position can they?

I think if Down got to a Ulster Final we would get in by league

Realistically we need to get to a Leinster Final. I'd say we will be favs for our 1/4 and 1/2 final, I'd say once we get Mulroy and Lennon fit we should make the final

Cork to lose out because Mayo got to league final and are now set up for a beating by Sligo the week after the league final (Mayo always seem to lose early in connacht after a league final - win or lose)

For the groups - it will be something like the below - Dublin and Kerry to get the handiest draw as usual
Galway, Tyrone, Mayo, Meath
Kerry, Sligo, Monaghan, Cavan
Dublin, Clare, Derry, Down

Armagh, Roscommon, Kerry, Dublin.
Monaghan, Galway, Clare, Kildare.
Mayo, Donegal, Tyrone, Derry.
Cavan, Down, Meath, Sligo.
Cork in the Tailteann Cup!! ;-D

The whole point is predicting the All Ireland 16 before they are confirmed after the provincial semi finals!
