Three changes to Kerry team to face Dublin with captain dropped to bench for All-Ireland final

Dublin name their team tomorrow night.

KERRY HAVE MADE three changes for Sundayโ€™s All-Ireland final against Dublin.

Fionn Fitzgerald and Aidan Oโ€™Mahony come into the full back line instead of Paul Murphy and Marc ร“ Sรฉ while Paul Geaney takes over from Kieran Donaghy in the full forward position.

There have been injury concerns over Murphy and ร“ Sรฉ with the 2014 All-Ireland final man-of-the-match from Rathmore and the long-serving stalwart from An Ghaeltacht named on the bench.

Captain Donaghy is also omitted with Geaney rewarded for a superb contribution when introduced against Tyrone in the semi-final.

The strength of Kerryโ€™s bench is shown by the fact that the subs have 28 All-Ireland senior medals and 12 Allstar awards between them.

    Mayo need to work out a plan for oppositionโ€™s kickouts. Lost every one that went long in the first half. Against Dublin or Kerry they will get annilitated. What used to be Mayos strong point with Aiden, Seamus, Parsons itโ€™s now weak. Ruane and Loftus bring something different but fielding a high ball is not one of their strengths. Aiden needs to be moved out to the middle on Roscommon kickouts
