"Think about when the league finished. When you're in the middle of the league, at the back of your mind, you're like, 'championship, championship, championship'," Barrett explained. "But when you come to the end of the league you have eight weeks to go [until championship]. It's nearly demotivating for yourself. And think about it: Donegal will have played three games, their third game will be the Ulster final. Your first game will be the Leinster final."Dublin have won the All-Ireland the last two years but McEvoy knows they would benefit from more games.
"Lots of the teams have played championship games already. We haven't played a championship game yet," the Dublin forward said. "There's only one other senior team in Leinster and we're not playing until the end of the month. "The Munster final was on Sunday. Cork had a really impressive performance and beat Waterford - Waterford were really good in the first half. "For them to have already won Munster and us to not even have played a game yet is probably a bit of an issue. "I do really like the structure of the ladies championship and I think that intermediate and junior is necessary but I would love to see more Leinster teams pushing through. I'd be very envious about what's happening up in Ulster. "Westmeath are a formidable side. They're in division one in the league this year and putting it up to loads of teams and got a good few wins. I still respect the Leinster championship in the sense that it will be a really competitive game but, still, it's only one."Subscribe here or watch that full conversation below:
