We are set for a repeat of last year's All-Ireland Final between Dublin and Tyrone, according to former Monaghan manager Malachy O'Rourke.
Dublin got over Tyrone 1-16 0-13 yesterday in Omagh to set up an All-Ireland semi-final with Mayo on Saturday, while Tyrone face Kerry on the Sunday.
And despite a "funny" campaign for his old Ulster rivals, O'Rourke reckons Mickey Harte's men will be meeting Dublin again on September 1.
"It has been a funny season for Tyrone," O'Rourke told RTÉ.
"They finished the league really well and were a lot more expansive. They were working really well and beat Dublin.
"The first couple of rounds of the Ulster championship were the same, but against Donegal, the house fell in on them a wee bit. They were cut open very easily, and after that, he [Mickey Harte] resorted back.
"That has been enough to get them to this stage.
"I think [Dublin and Tyrone] will meet in the All-Ireland final again.
"It’s whether Tyrone can get that balance between being a threat going forward and being solid at the back.
"There is a lot of work going into that. Kick-outs are key. It’s about really putting pressure on the Dublin kick-out and trying to get a platform from there so that when Dublin aren’t as well set-up at the back, that you have a chance to attack.
"By the same token, if you lose the kick-out to Dublin, you have to be so well set up at the back. It is about that balance."
