The open draw will not happen as it takes the power of the provincial councils away. Until we have the Councils on board then it will be impossible.

Sean Kelly has it right, provincial c'ships one off competition not as a qualifier for anything. Kerry will have heart attacks, their birthright/umbilical cord to an AIreland has finally been taken from them. Provincial Winners play semis/final at Croker for a Trophy of their own.
All Ireland run as an open draw cup competition, lose and your out no backdoor.
Just like all real cup competitions.
Yes we could have so called big guns drawn against each other but there is the novelty that we have lost it has all become to predictable.
First team out home draw
From QFinals, all played at Croker. Dublin play all rounds at Parnell until Qfinals - level playing field/re grounds for everyone.
Simple if they want it it will work.

Old News if the GAA want an equitable system they will make it happen, if they want money they won't!
So they won't!!!!
