they would win but have a better chance of being caught outside of Croke Park, and that will happen too, dont know when but it will...

"it makes me wonder if Dublin and Kerry and Mayo had to play all their big games outside Croke Park how good would they be..yes they are good sides no doubt"

Dublin: They operate at faster pace, more power, awareness and peripheral vision, make the right decisions more often.
Now whether thats in Navan/Newbridge or Ballyfore, that has been proven to be the case.

Kerry to a similar but lesser extent,

Mayo to a similar but lesser extent and so on until you get so on to the bottom of the pile.


Have Dublin an advantage in Croke Park , Yes, but the advantage of them playing in Croker to us is that the rest of us get some of the cash handed down the food chain.

Making the right decisions is based on the level of coaching they get and the intesity operated at. That is something that we can develop and learn from and it starts in the field in Ballyfore, Ballycommon or Ballycumber....take out straight line drills, introduce some "chaos", and ensure our kids have to think their way through training, eg 2 v 2's, 1 v1, using weaker hand/foot, "2 ball drills", games based.....only when kids are consistently going through these in this county and coming through as adults will we see change in decision making, (and thats not just when to pass/kick or shoot!).

Anyway enough about where Dub play

to turn it around, if it was possible for all other counties to play in Croke park, say once a month, interesting to see would their style of football change and their performances improve, Ime not a betting man, but I would think that the majority of teams would play a more attactive football and improve alot...not going to happen we know..

Probably not. 1 hour a month in croke park isn’t going to make a difference if you’re not training properly outwith your games. assuming your training 3 x week, 4 weeks a month for 1.5 hours. Theres 18 hours where you could be organising game based scenarios where decision making is prioritised.
