But where you kind of, where you pay off is in a situation like that.

Like it was an incredible kind of burst of energy at the end from Dublin to go that point up because it did look like they were dead.

And then that took so much out of them by the time they got the extra time, they were dead.

Indo GAA

But I don't think that that's true.

I think Dublin do have two-point shooters.

Indo GAA

Desi Farrell said last year, we don't have two-point shooters.

Indo GAA

Yeah, well, those guys are out to kick two-pointers for their clubs and other places, and the two-point arc is in the same position.

Indo GAA

Good, because it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't have two-point kickers.

Indo GAA
Westmeath dreamland, Dublin disarray | Armagh end Ulster drought | Provincial football has its mojo back 🏐

Yeah, because they... Inter-county Dublin footballers.

Indo GAA

Before they were two-pointers, they used to kick one-pointers from the two-point zone.

Paddy Small, Cormac Costolo, Cillian McGuinness, Sean Bugler.

It might be CiarΓ‘n Kilkenny's forte, but he could definitely kick them.

Indo GAA
Westmeath dreamland, Dublin disarray | Armagh end Ulster drought | Provincial football has its mojo back 🏐

He doesn't like doing it.

Indo GAA

My point is that Dublin moved... And again, it comes back to the slow thing.

Indo GAA
Westmeath dreamland, Dublin disarray | Armagh end Ulster drought | Provincial football has its mojo back 🏐

Dublin's transition is incredibly slow.

Indo GAA
Westmeath dreamland, Dublin disarray | Armagh end Ulster drought | Provincial football has its mojo back 🏐

Unless there's a one-on-one inside, they don't kick the ball in quickly.

Indo GAA

And by the time they get to the opposition's sort of set-up defence...

Indo GAA
Westmeath dreamland, Dublin disarray | Armagh end Ulster drought | Provincial football has its mojo back 🏐

You look at guys like Dara Heenan and OisΓ­n Conaty who can just line up a man one-on-one, take a little sidestep and then make space.

Indo GAA
Westmeath dreamland, Dublin disarray | Armagh end Ulster drought | Provincial football has its mojo back 🏐

Dublin are a very deliberate team in everything they do.

Indo GAA

And I think that's got to do with maybe the age profile and the way they're trying to calmly win games.
