Why did Cunningham take a wrecking ball to the Dubs?

On Wednesday night I took out a pen and paper and wrote down an alternative Dublin team to the one that is selected for tomorrow in Tullamore.

All but two of the 15 names played for me but, aside from obvious accusations of loyalty to former warriors, I liked the look of the team.

Alan Nolan; Shane Durkin, Peter Kelly, Paul Schutte; Mikey Carton, Joey Boland, Simon Lambert; Johnny McCaffrey, Alan McCrabbe; Conal Keaney, Colm Cronin, Sean Treacy; Chris Bennett, Mark Schutte, Paul Ryan.
