Dublin’s dynasty striving to stand still

Any fan of American sports will be familiar with the term ‘dynasty’. A dynasty is a team that dominates their sport or league for an extended period.

As sports fans, we often can’t help but compare players and teams from different eras and enter into bar talk about who is the greatest. Tags like dynasty often help strengthen our arguments.

The obvious dynasty teams in Gaelic football would be the Kerry team of Mick O’Dwyer, Heffo’s Dublin team of the ’70s, and then in more recent times the Kerry and Tyrone teams of the 2000s.
