It would appear that when as colm orouke said that there is more wife's girlfriends and mothers wearing a Leinster medal as a pendant than other players in province has actually won one. 8 in a row would seem like a fantastic achievement, but when u look that average winning margin was 20 points. Do they really care? It's a genuine question, I have known a couple of past Dublin players (80/90s ) who absolutely adore their Leinster medals and winning province. Is it now more relatable to a obc medal?
I'm not having a go, I just want to know is it really that devalued?? And before anyone starts with the Meath this or that , I'm only too well aware where Meath are, we are getting there (u17/u20) but unfortunately it will take time. Let's be honest dubs are gonna win 10 in a row Leinster. Is it time to scrap it ?? I hope not as I adore the championship knock out style. But has it had its day in current format?

Are you suggesting that Leinster football is dead?

Scrap it? How about just rotate Dublin into a different province every year. Its not alien to the gaa to have them play elsewhere. Antrim and galway were moved into leinster hurling. Moving galway into leinster was extremely successful and has done wonders for the leinster hurling championship.
Kerry also don't play in the munster hurling. Dublin will do 20 in a row if we leave them here. What's the point. Make it interesting again and have them only walk leinster once every 4 years. Meanwhile they'll actually get a challenge the other 3 years when they play. Galway, mayo, donegal and kerry would have all competed with them at this stage of the year in their province.
Dublin management probably love the current set up because they can stroll to the all Ireland stage and prepare to peak for then all while getting 3 run outs in croker.

You are having a go! How is anybody to know what it means to the team. None of us do. Give over!!

Dublin are basically a provincial team royaldunne, they should be playing in the interprovincial competition not masquerading as a county team.

Unlike your fellow county compatriot, you know what I mean more than most. Without either of us getting into details you know what that provincial medal means. While I take your point about the lads not sleeping tonight if they hadn't won, does winning it mean a hell of a lot to them?? I don't think so. And as u full well know I am not having a go. Now maybe in years to come it will mean more to them than it does now when cycles have changed etc. but for today I just don't see it.

You are making wild assumptions.

I'm sure it means a lot to Evan Comerford and some of the younger players who haven't tasted success.
I remember reading Cathal McCarrons book and Tyrone had won 2 in a row and won a third I think and he said a lot of the Tyrone players were overly excited but he was as it was his first. They were more concentrated on all Ireland's. so success does breed indifference I suppose.
Look it is what is is. Dublin are miles ahead and by the chat of the pundits today tiered football isn't to far away so maybe they know something we don't.
Dublin will look back and be extremely pround of their achievements in Leinster. I think Kerry won 8 in a row twice I believe.

They're not the type of lads to jump around after steamrolling teams in a competition they win every year.
Of course it has lost some prestige but all it takes is one Leinster defeat to put that straight.
And it will happen someday.
In the meantime they're not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

The sooner the GAA devide Dublin in 4 the better, they should be devided into north south east and west for the good of the game.
The needs of the many far outweigh the needs of the few.

When they win 5 all irelands in a row maybe they will start to get sick of winning.

But everything is rosey in Munster lol. How many should Kerry be split into with their 80 titles and 4 "opponents" each year?

I don't know if they would like the idea of it but the supporters would be able to get the train to the gates of fitzgerald stadium.
