Pat Spillane & Dick Clerkin join Michael shortly after the Round 2 Draws leave us with some rematches but not a huge level of excitement.

Last month, Indo Sport packed up the studio and headed to north Dublin’s Na Fianna GAA club for a special live podcast recording in one of the capital's biggest clubs. From fighting to get their camogie section established, through to finding facilities for 4,000+ members - it hasn’t all been plain sailing, as our guests explain. But in the end, the endeavours were well worth it. The glory days have come good, with a suite of club titles across the codes, as well as a strong cohort of high-achieving Dubs, and a club community bursting with activity.

They may not have made it all the way to Down manager Conor Laverty’s screensaver (yet), but Pat Spillane, Dick Clerkin and Michael are compelled to review some of their early predictions around the provincial championships in this week’s Indo GAA gaelic football podcast. They analyse how the Mourne men dismantled Jim McGuinness’s Donegal, discuss how kick-outs were a key component in the Connacht championship games - and what you might expect from the fixtures this weekend. They also expand on how ticket prices may have had a part to play in some of the sparsely populated stands over the weekend, and the fallout around The Tailteann Cup draw.

As Dublin and Meath prepare to face each other in Sunday's Leinster semi-final, Meath boss Andy McEntee has previously suggested that splitting Dublin is something that has to be considered to counter the Dubs dominance in Leinster and the Football Championship in general. On this week’s Throw-In with Philly McMahon, Philly and the Irish Independent’s Conor McKeon, set out to counter the argument that says population size or finances have anything to do with the Dublin GAA’s superiority over the last decade – despite what Colm Cooper has said about things reaching a tipping point. Join Philly McMahon on the Throw-In every Thursday where he gives his take on the Football Championship while every Monday the Irish Independent’s team of sports writers and former players, including John Mullane, Eddie Brennan, Ciarán Whelan and Dick Clerkin bring you the best insights and analysis from all the weekend GAA action.

Former Dublin dual star, Conal Keaney, joins Will and Michael on this week’s Throw-In with his thoughts on Limerick’s latest win over Tipperary and why there’s hope for the Premier county going forwards. Conal also gives his view on the Dublin hurlers as they prepare for Kilkenny in Parnell Park – a clash that promises to define so much of the season for these two teams. The Irish Independent’s Colm Keys joins the show to discuss the weekend football action which saw Kerry overcome Cork, finally pulling away after 50 minutes, while Donegal are through to another Ulster final and Galway routed Leitrim to set up a repeat of the Division 2 final against Roscommon for their Connacht final.

Philly McMahon joins Sinéad Kissane and the Irish Independent’s Conor McKeon for his weekly take on the Football Championship, with Cork v Kerry, the influence of soccer and the behaviour of managers on the sideline all up for discussion on the latest show. After Cork refusing to play Kerry in Killarney, they now face the Kingdom in Páirc Uí Rinn in the Munster Championship but are they onto a hiding to nothing? They’ve poked the bear and should be mindful, says Philly. The influence of soccer on the Cliffords and on Philly’s own career is also discussed with Philly highlighting how spatial awareness is just one of the positives that can be brought into a player’s Gaelic football career which we’re seeing in spades with David Clifford. And what about managers micro-managing on the sidelines, will it eventually become a thing of the past? Philly reckons it should be, saying the game should go towards rugby where the manager is in the stands seeing what the players can’t see. Plus there was also mention of that Cody-Shefflin handshake and what it all could mean…. Every Monday the Throw-In brings you the best insights and analysis from all the weekend GAA action.

Eddie Brennan has been in Henry Shefflin’s shoes before as a former player turned manager facing his old master and he joins Will and Michael on this week’s Throw-In to analyse and discuss the fall-out from that handshake between Shefflin and Cody after yesterday’s game between Galway and Kilkenny. Elsewhere they discuss the manner of Galway’s win and what Kilkenny need to do as they face Dublin next in Parnell Park. Munster’s only game was the meeting of Cork and Clare and the Banner county have made it two wins from two with their two point win following on from their victory over Tipperary the previous week. Dick Clerkin was on the show to look back on all the weekend football action with the main talking point the defeat of All-Ireland Champions, Tyrone, at the hands of Derry. Tyrone may have been under-performing this year but don’t write Tyrone off, warns Dick. Let’s not forget the form of Derry in winning either who nearly got promoted to Division 1 this year and now face Monaghan in the Ulster semis who beat Down on Saturday. In Leinster, it was a comprehensive 23 point win for Dublin over Wexford and compared to their performance last year it bodes well for their season after all the talk of the Dubs faltering. Their next opponents are familiar foes, Meath, who beat Wicklow by 10 points. In the other semi in Leinster, it will be Kildare v Westmeath. Elsewhere, in Connacht, Roscommon beat Sligo while in Munster, Tipperary beat Waterford and Limerick made history winning the first-ever penalty shoot-out in the senior football Championship.
