John Mullane

And I'm just thinking, I think Michal O'Donoghue, particularly Michal O'Donoghue, will take the learnings from that game in Salt Hill where he might say to himself, well, you know what?

we might go with three up top or we might go with two up top.

Rather than working the ball through the lines, they might go a bit more directly into their full forward line.

And I think they might have to do that if they're going to win this match because Dublin, athletically, physically, are very good in that middle third.

a growing Higgarty man in the match okay Mull I'm going to go Limerick by three and I'm going to base it on the fact you know they're going to have the fuel from losing last year's Munster final I think that's going to be worth a couple of scores the one before before a ball is even thrown in I just think they'll be they'll be eager to go and tick that box to win down in Downing Cork to be the first Limerick team ever to win down in Downing Cork on Munster final day and I'm going to go for Cotlow Neal to be man of the match

for the two of these Mull is huge I don't think either of them can really even contemplate losing this game that's how big it is No and for the loser this match it's going to be it's going to be extremely difficult to pick themselves up for a meeting with Claire two weeks later and look we'll take it back to 2013

Well, I think they were kind of getting the indication that, you know what, they were throwing all their eggs into the basket for this weekend and they were willing to say, you know what, they were willing to give up losing an under-20 honor, which I think possibly was a mistake.

when they had the success under Deilo and they were extremely unlucky that year not to push on and win the All-Ireland and back then everyone thought that that was going to be the kickstart for Dublin hurling to kick on the greater things but unfortunately back then I suppose the Jim Gavin era was only kicking into swing back then and you know they went on and had probably the greatest era of Dublin's football history but

I think they should have went after that game more last Sunday.

They probably should have started Nyland for me.

I wouldn't have started Colin Killeen if he was carrying a hamstring injury.

And I would have...

And I think if Nyland would have started last Sunday, I think it would have been a totally, totally different game.

Now, obviously, possibly Clare probably, possibly still would have pushed on and winning the match.

But I actually think they made a mistake.

And I think the message was loud and clear after last Sunday in that under-20s that

You know, and then you go back to Galway 2018, you know, when they won the All-Ireland in 2017, you know, followed up with back-to-back titles in 2018.

everything is going towards winning this this Lensa final but I think if they have Rory Burke if they have Nyland if they have Rabbit Conor Conor Conor Conor Whelan Cillian

You just sensed that, you know, Galway were going to kick on like Dublin in 2013 and win more lesser titles.

And that never materialised.
