This is the $64,000 question. From the time of the league campaign earlier this year, Dublin have been playing this very fast, counter attacking game with wing backs and midfielders supporting the forwards. There's a school of thought that says they have to be caught out sooner or later but it hasn't happened yet. Being honest, i fear you may be correct...that the likes of a Donegal, Kerry or even Tyrone(if still around) could do for us later in the quarters or semi final.....
I hope they're successful obviously but not just beacuase they're my team.....they've been a breath of fresh air after a few years of negative tactics winning out at inter-county level. Even my neighbours in Wickla are being very complimentary towards Dublin this year and believe me that doesn't come naturally to them!

We all dream of a team of Sean O'Briens......
