Dublin could cause Kerry's defence a lot of problems based on how they set up against Donegal, according to Kerry legend Kieran Donaghy.

Speaking on Off The Ball about Kerry v Donegal game he said, "At stages both teams looked quite open, both teams left it three-on-three at the back and when you look at Dublin if that's Paul Mannion, Con O'Calloghan and Ciaran Kilkenny with that amount of space around them it could cause Kerry problems."

Kerry drew with Donegal 1-20 to 1-20 in Croke Park yesterday and, having secured a semi-final spot, they will now head to Navan to face Meath in the final Super 8s group game.

"Kerry will just be happy that they're one game away from winning the group and it won't be easy up in Navan because Meath have been really unlucky in the last two games."

"Of course, with a team like Kerry have a lot of good young guys but you look at the Dublin young guys, you look at Con O'Callaghan - the shoulders and the arms on him.

"Even with Ciaran Kilkenny, they have added this high ball to their game now where they are just planking it in on top of these guys, and the boys are able to win their own ball."

Donaghy said the best way to stop them is to deny the forwards any ball.

"I really think anybody that is going to have a go at them has to defend them from the front. I think you have to take away that ball where they are popping it in to Mannion and Con O'Callaghan and you have to make that ball harder for them and take your chances with it.

Donaghy said that it is not just their physicality that is impressive.

"They are so efficient with their energy, they know when the right time is to run off the ball, they know when the time is to drop in the sweeper and they when the time is to press up tackle hard.

Dublin will face Tyrone in the their final Super 8s group in Omagh and based on how things go, they could possibly face them again in the All-Ireland final.

Donaghy thinks that Tyrone should go all out against Dublin to try and shock them.

"If I was Mickey Harte I might not be showing everyone one of my cards but my message to my team is now is a good time to beat them they're not invincible all together."
