This is classic stream-of-consciousness Brogan: talking for Ireland as effortlessly as he could win All-Irelands. Or an All-Ireland final or a Leinster final, or a Dublin-Meath game or something like that, or even the first round. I'm not sure when it will hit but I'm ready for it." His own belief that, while Gavin was "fair", there was also an "unconscious bias" against the 35-year-old version of Brogan. He was "blown away by Ballymun" in the county final and believes Paddy Small may have evolved into "the real deal".
