"Last year proved that they had fallen into bad habits. The thing about them this year is when Kildare dropped men back, they made an awful hames of doing so. They were trying to follow the play, without keeping players full time in defence. The just werent able to catch up with the Dublin attack because it was so fast."
"Dublin never commit everybody forward. Last year, they did. You will always see Jonny Cooper and Philly McMahon covering. You will always see one or two players covering. If Kildare only have two players left up in the Dublin half, they will always be a player back minding the house. That is where Dublin have copped on."
"You will not turn Dublin over, and have a free run on goals as Donegal did last year. Donegal caught Dublin and taught them an incredible lesson."
"I dont see Dublin being caught this year by anybody. I really dont. They have learned their lesson. They are disciplined. They are incredibly skilful. They are a sensational team, and are not as naive as they were."
"They learnt their lesson and learnt it the hard way. They were humiliated by Donegal and I know that from talking to one or two of the players. That wont happen again."
"I just see Dublin as an unstoppable force. I know I said the same last year, but its hard not to say it when you see them. Kildare are not a bad team. They are a solid, decent top ten team. Dublin batted them away as if they were a junior team. It's incredible."
