RTÉ GAA Podcast: Tables take shape and dive in standards
Eamonn Fitzmaurice and Niall McCoy join Mikey Stafford and Rory O'Neill to reflect on the weekend's Allianz Football League action.
Mayo's growing strength in depth was evident as Kevin McStay made five 'late changes', but their likely league final opponents is a mystery with two rounds to go.
It's unlikely Kerry will be defending their title after defeat to Tyrone but their need for a win will make them formidable opponents in a league where motives and needs will transform in next few weeks.
The aforementioned Tyrone found some vim and vigour, with Darragh Canavan sending Niall 20 years back in time with his point on Sunday.
Rory has concerns about the Dunlin renaissance on the evidence of Saturday's narrow defeat to Derry, while Rory Gallagher's side showed that their strength extends beyond the first 15.
A few incidents over the weekend has pushed the issue of diving and simulation into the conversation and Eamonn believes proper policing is the only solution as the culture of winning at all costs means teams won't manage from within.
