On this special episode of The Throw-In, Will Slattery previews Sunday's All-Ireland final with Joe Brolly.


Brolly discusses how Jim Gavin's Dublin team won't be distracted by a possible three in-a-row because they 'don't do hype' and also gives his opinion on how Mayo should use Lee Keegan this weekend.


Ultimately, Brolly is predicting a Dublin win - but thinks that the pre-match hype around the team could benefit Mayo.

This week, Tomás Ó Sé, Alan Brogan, Conor McKeon and Rory O'Connor join Will Slattery for The Throw-In's All-Ireland final preview.

Brogan tries to predict Dublin's possible team selection for the final, and also gives an insight into Jim Gavin's unique management style, which has his team on the brink of a three in-a-row.

Joe Brolly joins Johnny Ward to celebrate the 'future of football' and the death of the blanket defence with the thumping of Tyrone by Dublin.

"Dublin might as well have been playing against traffic cones," says Brolly.

He's also critical of the one-dimensional, singular way that Mickey Harte has Tyrone playing.

"It's a criminal offence to criticise Mickey Harte in Tyrone. It's a massive problem."
