"Dublin have moved ahead of everyone else in Leinster, I don't think there's any doubt about that. But no different than Kilkenny in the hurling, Dublin are going through their golden period. "And when it does finish, with the Flynns, McMahons and Brogans coming to their end - and we'd like to think that will start on Sunday - they are not going to come back with those sort of fellas or brilliant players to replace them overnight. "It will take a bit of time, and just because you're scoring five or six points in a 30-point victory, it doesn't mean you're the next Paul Flynn or Diarmuid Connolly. I wouldn't say there is a changing of the guard [yet] but there's certainly hope."There you have it Paul, Con, Cormac and the rest of the up and coming Dubs - time to go prove yourself all over again. Later on the night, and in the podcast, we came around to predictions. 'Pillar' Caffrey said 8 to 10 points, McCormack was hoping for a 'single digits' Kildare defeat and Fennell said Dublin by 'around 10 points'. Sorry Kildare but as Roscommon showed against Galway, last weekend, upsets can still happen.
