Murphy's Portarlington side were well beaten 1-12 to 0-4 in the Leinster semi-final.
Martin Murphy believes Kilmacud Crokes are well set to win this year's All Ireland Senior Football Championship.
The now former-Portarlington boss watched his side succumb to the Dublin champions in Croke Park in the Leinster semi final in November.
Robbie Brennan's side then went on to record an impressive victory over the Downs in the provincial decider.
Murphy says they everything needed to become All Ireland champions:
