A NEW YEAR means a new debate about the biggest prize in Gaelic football.
And given the recent trend of results, the key question is can anyone dislodge the champions and favourites Dublin?
Jim Gavin will be aiming to guide his side to three-in-a-row in 2017 and the county will be aiming to land a fifth title in seven years.
Who will be the main challengers? 2014 champions, 2015 finalists and 2016 semi-finalist Kerry are not likely to be too far away.
Mayo have not reached the summit since 1951 but after reaching three All-Ireland finals and two All-Ireland semi-final replays over the last five campaigns, it’s difficult not to see them going close again.
From Ulster, Tyrone will be hoping to build on a 2016 season that saw them win the Division 2 league final and get back into the provincial winners enclosure.
Donegal contested the Ulster final and ran Dublin to five points at the quarter-final stage.
Can you see any of those dislodging Dublin or will there be a surprise force to burst forward like Tipperary did this season in reaching the last four?
Let us know.
