How long will it take us to get used to the change in the GAA calendar? Old habits sure do die hard. It seems as if we are finding it difficult to move on from the way it was done for so long.
It's not that long since there were big claims made for the league. You had people arguing that it was fiercely competitive, that it produced far better games than the Championship.Before a ball was kicked, if you asked most football fans to pick the teams that'll be top and bottom of the various divisions, the vast majority would have been on the money. That's a sign that it's all been far too predictable.
Everyone remembers their first time, and I'll never forget my trip to Croke Park for the 1992 league final. After the first couple of matches in this year's league, I was wondering about Dublin and where they are. But it's clear to me now that they're out in front of the pack - and maybe by a lot.Mick Fitzsimons, James McCarthy and Stephen Cluxton will be back for the Championship.
They will take a lot of stopping. To me, Dublin look better now than at any time since Jim Gavin left the scene.Jason Foley picked up an ankle injury against Roscommon yesterday and such injuries can be hard to break out. Kerry have a lot of defenders who are probably natural attacking half-backs.
