Brogan and Ryan respectful of Tyrone's record

Since the new championship format was introduced in 2001, Dublin's footballers have qualified for seven out of a possible eight All-Ireland quarter-finals - 2003 was the only year they missed out.

An excellent record undoubtedly. But when you consider that the Metropolitans are still waiting to win their first All-Ireland SFC title since 1995, you get a sense of what is driving Alan Brogan and company on this summer.
