Kerry joint-managers Declan Quill and Darragh Long have said that Dublin would be mistaken to believe that their attacking threat starts and ends with Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh.
Much of the focus for Sunday's final at Croke Park will be how the Dublin defence deal with the sharp-shooter, who has amassed a sensational 4-44, 4-29 coming from play, as she tries to help Kerry end their 30-year wait for the Brendan Martin Cup.
Even if she is wrapped up, the Kerry management have full confidence in their other scoring options.
"We have six very good forwards. Look at Hannah O’Donoghue, she kicked three points from play the last day against Mayo before she had to go off injured at half time," Quill told RTÉ Sport.
"Niamh Carmody is very good to chip in with scores, Niamh Ní Chonchúir has been in very good scoring form as well this year.
"It was never down to Louise. I suppose looking at the Meath performance she only scored three points and we still pulled through that night.
"Look we do rely on Louise, that’s no secret, we don’t hide from that and she’s a brilliant player and a brilliant leader in our team.
"We have plenty of girls who can step up and take scores too."
It was an opinion shared by his joint manager Long.
"In the Meath game we had nine different scorers, Louise had only three or four points that night. She kicked 1-10 [against Mayo] and she was exceptional but the supporting cast around her, she’s at the end of very good moves and very good work by her defensive unit."
Kerry’s last All-Ireland triumph came in 1993 against Laois, with defeats to Cork in 2012 and Meath last year preventing them from ending the wait.
The Royals were comprehensive 3-10 to 1-07 winners, but Quill believes it will be a very different team that takes to the field this weekend.
"I think the team has matured an awful lot and I think we used that maturity, especially in our quarter-final win over Meath.
"If you put the two performances back-to-back and watched the two, we’re a totally different team this year.
"We learned so much from the final defeat last year. As a management and as players you have to learn or you’ll be left behind and we did that.
"We came through Meath, we came through Mayo and we’re looking forward to the weekend."
Like Meath before them, Kerry have rapidly moved up the ranks and they have lost only twice in 16 league and championship games this year – both of those to neighbours Cork.
"The character of this team is unquestioned over the last couple of years," Quill said.
"We’ve come up from last year’s Division 2, winning that, winning Division 1 this year and I suppose being in the last two All-Ireland finals (2022 and 2023) has been massive progress for the team.
"They’re a fabulous bunch of girls, they give it everything every time they go out. We’re just hoping they’ll perform on Sunday and show the country how good they are."
For Long, the hard work is done, and now it’s about bringing that to the biggest game of the year.
"It’s been a massive motivating factor for our girls," he said of last year's loss.
We’ve no All-Ireland medals within our group and it’s something that all these girls want and deserve.
"That’s probably a selfish thing for myself and Declan to be saying but they hugely deserve this, but you don’t always get what you deserve in life you’ve got to go and earn and grasp those chances and we’re willing to do that on Sunday."
