Kerry legend Aidan O'Mahony reckons the Kingdom would not lose six finals on the trot like Mayo as the two sides face off this weekend.
James Horan's side are looking to make another run at the All-Ireland title and having made the final six times since 2012, they have failed to win on each occasion.
And O'Mahony reckons that if Kerry found themselves in that position they would not find themselves the runner up on each occasion.

Speaking to Paddy Power, he said: “Mayo have lost plenty of finals but they came up against the greatest Dublin team of all time. You know, we had 2011, 2015 and the 2016 semi final so I know what it's like. I played in 9 finals where I lost 4 and won 5.
"And, you know, I think that Mayo team, and that great Dublin team came along at the one time and there was only a kick of a ball between the two of them. But I just don’t think this Kerry team will lose six in a row because they just have the quality of players coming through at the moment. Jack O’Connor, Paddy Tally, Diarmuid Murphy and Mike Quirke are an extraordinary management team.
"Plus the Calibre of players at the moment, the likes of Sean O'Shea, David Clifford and the older lads I would've played with like David Moran. The lads who won an All-Ireland in 2014 and who probably want another one before they go out. So will they lose six? No. Absolutely not. Could they win six? Possibly.”
But the two-time All-Star does not believe that Mayo will be pushovers this weekend and reckons they can step up their game on the day.
“I think Mayo would probably look at Kerry as the ideal opposition, because they’re a team that feeds on a higher power coming against him. You look at the game against Dublin last year. They're one of those teams that if they come up against the big opposition, it seems to bring them to a new level again, and I just think they have nothing to lose this weekend.
"They've played poorly in all the games. If you're winning games and playing poorly. It's a great sign of a team and all you need to do is peak once or twice and I think they look at Kerry and think to themselves that we were very disappointed with the league final and we need to respond."
