You know, they set up the kick out as opposed to trying to rattle it off quickly.

Or maybe they didn't get the opportunity, but it was really slow.

Indo GAA

And Dublin were slow in nearly everything they did.

But I think that that's the strategy.

Indo GAA

So, so far as I can see, because there was some sort of

call that came from Evan Comerford and the Dublin players would stretch out with the maximum distance between them that they possibly could.

And I think the strategy is you pick whichever one-on-one you think we have the best chance of winning and kick it to that.

But after Potter, Cuffee, Bourne went off, only Brian Howard was really catching kick-outs and then Westmead put loads of pressure on him.

But once the ball hit the deck, Dublin were destroyed.

And this is the kind of theme of the

Indo GAA

Win from Westmead's point of view, the loss from Dublin's point of view.

Westmead are young and full of energy and they have pace.

And like there's some of those Westmead players that looked like all-stars yesterday, partly because they were just able to pop up at the end of moves, just to the left of the goalpost 35 yards out and tap the ball over the bar.

They had all the athletic edge in the game.

Indo GAA

They were able to sprint, sprint and keep sprinting.

And if there's anything that this season has proven from what I've seen in the flesh so far, I've come and were the same last week.

If you don't have nine or 10 guys in your team and a couple of subs to come on who have just incredible athletic capacity, they can get up the pitch, back down the pitch, that can track men all the way back, that can go all the way forward, that can screen in midfield, that can get on the brakes.

I don't think you're at anything anymore in Gaelic football.

Indo GAA

You absolutely, absolutely need youth.

And Dublin are still hanging on to some of the great warriors who did great things on the ball yesterday.
