First of all, Dublin is known for being a tricky house. They used the two sides of the house for qualifying. The two sides play very different and they have different characteristics. It is generally a low scoring center.
Secondly if Sean could pick up a spare, he shoots 20+ and wins by a mark. He hit the pocket 10 shots. How can you say the ball looked bad? Dublin is notoriously a bad carry center....look at the scores from the week...Barnes started Thurs nite 28+, 27+, 26+, 18+....DO NOT ALWAYS blame the equipment. Blame the enviroment and the player.
Players are going to use what got them there. Machuga bowled a GREAT game in the title match. He got out scored.
