Whelan: Dubs won’t get carried away despite depth of talent

Mickey Whelan has no problem talking Dublin up, but the 2011 All-Ireland winning selector draws the line at the suggestion that the reigning champions are operating at a higher level than any other county.

Claims are being made liberally this week that Dublin are an unstoppable force in the wake of the county’s stunning victory over Cork in last Sunday’s Allianz FL Division 1 semi-final at Croke Park.

Trailing by 10 points shortly after half-time, Jim Gavin’s men proceeded to leave the Munster side for dust, scoring 1-9 without reply at one point to give themselves a comfortable seven-point victory.
