Fitzsimons praises Dublin panel
Michael Fitzsimons says Dublin's team spirit is exemplified by the behaviour of the players who do not make Jim Gavin's starting XV.
The Cuala left corner back, who played a starring role in Dublin's All-Ireland final replay win over Mayo after spending much of the season on the bench, singled out the attitude of Bernard Brogan after the 32-year-old left corner forward was dropped for the replay.
"The great thing is that no-one throws….you can't really tell when somebody is p***ed off in training, which is the best way to be," he told the Irish Independent.
"Like, Bernard wasn't in the team for the replay and he was the most positive man in training.
"And that's indicative of the man. He started all the way up and then, the first game that he's dropped is the final. You could have seen that on his face or in his demeanour but you didn't. And that's massive for every training session.
"Because little things like that can make an impact. You can definitely tell if someone is p***ed off and if they're sulking or they're not giving 100 per cent. I didn't want to be that person."
