Dean Rock not bothered by Dublin sub policy

Dean Rock is philosophical about being substituted and accepts it’s a norm in a panel as strong as Dublin’s.

The Ballymun Kickhams man holds the impressive record of having started in all 21 of his county’s games last season. However, he failed to finish the last three, taken off at half-time in the drawn All-Ireland semi-final with Mayo as well as in the All-Ireland final win over Kerry.

Kevin McManamon came in for him on both occasions as he did in the 53rd minute in the replay against Mayo but Rock was not too upset about the “early showers”.
