Kerry may be older, but they’re wiser
All-Ireland finals might have become a law unto themselves in recent years but that law doesn’t really apply in the case of this Dublin team.
Younger members of the Cork forward line admitted after the 2009 All-Ireland final that while they had beaten Tyrone up there only a month earlier in a landmark game, going from playing in front of 55,000 to playing in front of a full house of 82,000 was a shock to the senses. This Dublin team have regularly played in front of full houses; every Leinster final from 2005 to 2009, the past two All-Ireland semi-finals.
