Tomás Quinn: Dublin should be ready for greater speed and intensity

We love clichés in the GAA, no matter what way a game goes.

There are always standard responses that get rolled out and when we have a drawn championship tie; the common line tends to be “it’ll be the team that learns the most from the drawn game who’ll come through the replay”.

Is that really the case? While there is a lot of merit in the statement I think there is more to it. It’s not just what a team learns from the drawn game but what can realistically be implemented in a six-day turnaround. It’s all well and good spotting an issue but when management and players review the game tape this week it has to be with an eye on what can be influenced in a short timeframe.
