Former Dublin midfielder Paul Bealin fears the county’s indifferent performances against Kildare and Roscommon have exposed the serial All-Ireland champions’ “mental fatigue”.

The ex-Wexford and Carlow manager has been to several Dublin games this year and does not rate them as genuine All-Ireland contenders on their current form.
