Dublin legend Charlie Redmond is expecting Jim Gavin to make changes to both Dublin's starting XV and the subs bench for the upcoming All-Ireland Final replay with Kerry this weekend.
Redmond feels Gavin will be reflecting heavily on each individual involved in the drawn game.
And the Round Towers man, he says, will not "do sentiment" when it comes to leaving anyone in or out - as illustrated by Bernard Brogan, Eoghan O'Gara, and Eric Lowndes missing out n the 26 last time.
"I’ll be astonished if Dublin come out for next Saturday's All-Ireland football final with the same XV that started last Sunday’s draw against Kerry," Redmond wrote in the Irish Independent.
"And I'll be just as astonished if the subs bench is the same, too.
"Dublin manager Jim Gavin just doesn't do sentiment. He will look at Dublin players who didn't do well against the Kingdom a week ago. And he will look to make changes.
"The manager will look at himself too. How can he make the Dublin team better? How can he get them to play better?"
The Erins Isle man also noted how Gavin's post-match actions hinted at his focus already being set on this Saturday two weeks out.
"Jim made a major move immediately after the match when he would not allow the brilliant Jack McCaffrey to receive his Man of the Match gong in public," Redmond said.
"It was a severe statement from Dublin's leader that what he had witnessed during the All-Ireland final from the team was not acceptable.
"It wasn't a rebuke to Jack personally, but a message to all of the team: 'you needn't think you are getting any praise for that'."
