Dublin have maybe 2 lads to come back in that will arguably strengthen the team. They may start 5 different lads in championship but some would be no stronger than what played yesterday. The likes of Gough and McCrabbe would improve the team. With others its much of a muchness (assuming Rory O'Carroll won't be playing hurling again this year, and that David Tracey won't get back to near full-fitness). I think it says it all when they're still springing Liam Ryan from the bench. The panel really is limited enough.
I'm excluding Ryan O'Dwyer from that as I've not made my mind up on him. He looks decent, but his reputation for a strong ball-winner seems misplaced. He looked fairly tame under the high ball against Galway, though had a lot of other useful looking attributes.
