"To bring Connolly on when he did, with a couple of minutes to go, people thought that was it was silly and farcical. But, with hindsight, you look and it and think he's did that and it is out of the way. He's come on in a game and that whole stuff is done and dusted." Clarke added, "I'm starting to think that Gavin may start him. He may not name him in the programme and he may start him... but if Diarmuid doesn't start and a Dublin forward gets a black card, who's the first guy you bring on?"To Clarke's mind, that man would be Connolly. He will either start or we will see him early enough in the piece. Mortimer believes the one change Gavin could make would involve Flynn. The former Mayo forward commented:
"I think Flynn might start, to be honest. He has a good chance. I've heard that over the last couple of weeks. He is obviously going well and the one thing about Jim Gavin is he tends to go with the lads that are going well. "Lookit, you saw it last year with Cormac Costello. He hardly touched leather for most of last year and then he comes on in the All-Ireland final and wins the game for Dublin. If you're showing well, Gavin will give you a chance."Mortimer moved up to Dublin in 2012 and played club football with Parnells. He has plenty of good connections in the GAA world so talk of Flynn tearing it up in training and 'A' vs. 'B' matches may well have reached his ears. We'll know soon enough but, whatever the calls, Dublin will have a mighty starting 15 and one hell of a bench.
