John Cleary’s side played some lovely stuff against Kerry in the first 20 minutes last Saturday but they spent the rest of it trying to hang on to what they had

Players like routine and schedules but the April lull in the championship means they can’t but be affected by the apathy that exists for the provincial games

Darragh Ó Sé: While the addition of an extra body can help, outfield intercounty players are more skilled and inject more pace than roaming goalkeepers offering their services

Likes of Cluxton, McCarthy and Fenton led the way throughout but Kerry will feel this was one they may have left behind

Dessie Farrell’s Dublin team is packed with All-Ireland medals and All Stars

For Kerry to win, they’ll need players doing things we haven’t seen them do before. At least not this year

It took David Clifford’s genius – and some poor second-half wides from valiant Derry – to see the Kingdom clamber over the line and book another big date with Dublin

It’s almost a foregone conclusion that Dublin will reach the final, and Kerry will probably meet them there

Kerry and Dublin have found form and are demonstrating a formula that others must match or counter

Improving Tyrone will relish a crack at the Kingdom while Mayo’s confidence will be high as they bid to take down Dublin

I saw them beat Kerry in Killarney and thought they were major contenders, but they’ve lost their way since

For some teams, three weekends in succession will make or break their season

Like the heavyweight boxer coming back for one last title, if Dublin rustle up some semblance of that old form, they’ll be hard to beat

‘If this Cork team has any bit of pride after the way this season has gone, they need to perform on Saturday’

Mayo were not flawless last weekend but still dispatched Kerry, and that raises a lot of questions
