A podcast is suggesting up to 10 counties could be in contention for the All Ireland football championship next year. Hard to argue against that. Dublin and Armagh were knocked out at the quarter final stage in recent years. 2007 was the last time the All Ireland was retained without home advantage. On this basis, Kerry will be underdogs. Tyrone, Armagh, Donegal and Dublin will be favourites. Galway and Mayo will be in contention as well. Monaghan, Derry and Meath will be looking to mount a challenge as well.
A good few weeks of club action now to enjoy.

Kerry are hot favourites for next year and barring injuries to the Cliffords, O'Shea, White, Foley or Joe O'connor, this will be the case until they are knocked out. Dublin, Mayo and Galway have greatest scope for improvement with any of these teams capable of making a final. Tyrone likely to push on too.
Will be interesting to see the Ulster style defensively next year with Kerry having humiliated four teams this year. The Leinster championship could be very interesting next year too.

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Maybe not but capable no guarantee but you would have to start kerry as favourites" As I've said before, a lot of people have short memories. Only a few weeks ago Donegal, Dublin, Galway and Armagh were the favourites to make the semi finals. Tyrone were probably the next favourites to make the semi finals. These five will probably start 2026 as the strong favourites. Pundits worth their salt won't be selecting the 2025 champions as favourites. Lessons have been learned after Armagh were knocked out at the quarter final stage.
Respect for opponents is important. Before Roscommon visited Killarney, I said it was all about what they would bring as challengers. I think that was accepted as fair comment.
Some people were scoffing at me for predicting that Cavan would cause Mayo problems. Low and behold, Cavan delivered.
Finally, I was in the minority who wasn't surprised by the Tullamore result. Meath's good form was evident.
