Even without Jack McCaffrey tearing up and down the wing, Diarmuid Connolly making a cameo appearance off the bench and Jim Gavin pulling the strings on the line, Dublin are still Kieran Donaghy's fancy for the All-Ireland football title.

"They are, in my eyes, still the favourites. Nobody has beaten them for the last five years. Until somebody proves different, they can't be anything but favourites. Until somebody gets over them and beats them, they are still the favourites for me,” Donaghy said during this afternoon’s Sky Sports’ 2020 GAA championship launch.
