Jim Gavin is taking no shit.
Dublin have named three changes to their starting team just 20 minutes out from throw-in.
Bernard Brogan is out.
Michael Darragh MacAuley is out.
Davy Byrne is out.
In their places come Paddy Andrews, Paul Mannion, and Michael Fitzsimons respectively.

What it means is that Andrews is likely to take up a role in the full forward line with Dean Rock and Kevin McManamon where he was so deadly last year and at the start of this season.
It also means that Paul Mannion should go into half forward which paves the way for Diarmuid Connolly to start the game at midfield alongside Brian Fenton.
