Shortly after the football that Sean O'Shea struck over the bar from 55 yards to break Dublin hearts a fortnight ago came to rest before a silenced Hill 16, Kerry attentions had already turned to Galway.
So says the lynchpin of a Kingdom defence that held the Boys in Blue to just 1-13, Tadhg Morley.
"We parked that Dublin game as soon as we could," Morley told RTÉ Sport this week ahead of his county's latest All-Ireland final appearance.
Finally vanquishing their historical rivals for the first time since startling Pat Gilroy's earwigs in 2009, O'Shea's 76th-minute winner prompted some unusually triumphant scenes on the Croke Park turf from the Green and Gold.
They don't celebrate 'participation' in Kerry, however. Semi-finals are for winning. All that mattered from that moment on was the challenge that lay ahead, according to Morley.
"We were very conscious of that," Morley said. "There was a good bit of emotion at the end of that game so we needed to park it very soon after.
"Once we got back into the dressing-room, we started the recovery process straight away.
"It was a tough semi-final, so recovery was key. Since then, it's been all focused on Galway."
One day previously, Galway had been first to book their place in the inaugural July All-Ireland football final with a convincing five-point win over this year's surprise packet, Derry.
The eight years that have elapsed since Kerry's last All-Ireland in 2014 are tantamount to a famine.
Templenoe clubman Morley is well aware that should the Munster kingpins fail to turn over any stone in search of victory, that famine could well stretch into a ninth season.
"It's going to be a tough challenge," Morley said. "Galway have had a lot of good, tough games that they've come through and done really well.
"We have to really hone in on a couple of their marquee players and be mindful of them. It's exciting."
The counties last met in a facile, one-sided National League affair at Austin Stack Park in May last year.
Morley sees no relevance in that result when it comes to figuring out who might come out on top at headquarters this weekend.
"They're a team that's switched around a bit since then," he said. "They've added Cian O'Neill to their management team as well, which is a big thing."
All-Ireland semi-final recap: Kerry 1-14 Dublin 1-13
This latest season of the never-ending Kerry and Dublin boxset inevitably went down as a classic. But Jack O'Connor's management team still immediately sprang into action to plug any leaks the dastardly Dubs may have sprung in the good ship Kingdom.
"There were bits and bobs in the Dublin game we were disappointed with so we've worked on those," Morley said.
"We want to show the best version of ourselves on Sunday. There's still more there to show and if we don't show it, we could be in trouble."
