Speaking to Paddy Power, O’Mahony said: “It’s a bit unusual that Dublin aren’t coming down as All Ireland champions this weekend and having lost to Armagh, there’s a lot of pressure on them as well.
“The worrying thing for Dublin is some of their main players aren’t back – the likes of Con O’Callaghan, Johnny Cooper, McCarthy, Fitzsimons, Paddy Small.
“It is still the biggest game in GAA when Dublin and Kerry meet. Tickets were sold out within two days. Kerry always felt, whatever happens, Dublin can’t beat you at home. Croke Park suited Dublin the last couple of years.
“But we’re talking about a different Dublin team now. They’re in a transition. A lot of people are talking about them coming into the pack. It’s early days and you’ve to be careful what you wish for.
“It’s a 6-pointer game for both teams. The last thing we would want is for Dublin to come down here and turn us over.
“If they don’t beat Kerry and go on to face Mayo, who are a tough draw no matter who they play, Dublin could easily find themselves drawn into a relegation battle.
“If the Dubs can get a victory this weekend it’ll give them some motivation.”
