So in just under two weeks, Dublin and Derry will lock horns at Croke Park in the Allianz League Division 1 decider.

But the semi-finals had plenty of talking points and David Brady and our own Colm 'Wooly' Parkinson were happy to oblige as they analysed Dublin's win over Cork and Derry's victory over Mayo.

Wooly believes Dublin should get all the credit for their 2-20 to 2-13 win over the Rebels.

"They completely dominated Cork in every line of the field, especially midfield and especially under the breaking ball. It's almost like they looked physically stronger and fitter. It's almost like Cork ran out of steam," said Wooly, who also added: "It was men against boys in the second half. Dublin upped the intensity and a lot of those lads are doing strength and conditioning so they're on the road a long time. It looked like Dublin had three extra men at times in the second half."

Wooly felt the kickouts were a problem for Cork and felt that Brian Cuthbert did not react to that, while describing Dublin midfielder Michael Darragh Macauley as "unplayable."

Brady agreed that Dublin were "outstanding" in the second half and he also delved into his native Mayo's defeat to 14-man Derry.

"How do you play an extra man? You need to learn from your mistakes. Mayo were in a similar situation when they had an extra man against Dublin at the end of March and I thought they played the extra man very defensively. Yesterday it was even more defensive. Realistically you're inviting teams to come on," said Brady who added that he did not see the Derry sending off as a deserved red card. 

The lads also argued about the potential advantage of Dublin playing almost all of their games at Croke Park.
