Gavin says old stagers can regain spots for final

Jim Gavin has maintained that the likes of Bernard Brogan, Rory O’Carroll, and Eoghan O’Gara all have fighting chances of making Dublin’s All-Ireland final match panel.

O’Carroll had been an ever-present in the panel this summer, O’Gara missed out on one game, while Brogan won back his matchday slot against Roscommon only for the trio to miss out on Saturday’s win over Mayo. O’Carroll started in Omagh the previous weekend but disappointed as Brogan and O’Gara came off the bench, the latter scoring the only goal of the game.
