Here we go again.
Except this Dublin and Mayo collision will be the last of its kind, the end of a chapter.
Five-in-a-row or the second coming of Seamus Darby and 1982?
From the first final in the blistering heat of 2013, the two-part thriller of 2015, two epic rain-soaked deciders in 2016 to the last-gasp GPS defying winner of 2017.
Mayo have been the only opponent great enough to push Jim Gavin's men to within a kick of the ball in essentially all of their summer meetings since he took over.
They won't be the country's last stand this time around though, that'll come down to the Kingdom of Kerry or the Red Hand of Tyrone - each with their own bone to pick with the Dubs.
But the tale of Dublin's drive-for-five needs Mayo, as much as their hill-dwellers bemoan the Green and Red.
Without Mayo, Dublin will have no more worlds to conquer and no more peaks to scale.
Every hero needs a villain and every villain needs a hero.
The pinnacle of all rivalries this decade.
It's only right that Dublin's greatest challengers have one last shot at derailing the five-in-a-row.
If the Dubs are to be Muhammad Ali, Mayo is their Joe Frazier.
It's time for the Thrilla in Manilla.
