Ger Brennan has thrown his weight behind the Football Review Committee's proposal to complete the club championships in the same calendar year.

If the motion is passed at next year's Congress, playing the All-Ireland club finals on St. Patrick's Day would be discontinued after 2015.

"When you're winning, of course it's fine, it's great to be here. But it would be great if the season was shorter and we had December off," the Dublin defender told RTE after captaining St. Vincent's to their second successive Leinster club SFC title yesterday.

"I could certainly envisage the two All-Ireland semi-finals being played in the last couple of weeks of November or first week of December.

"Then you could have a double-header for the football and hurling [finals] in the following two weeks and then everything's cleared up in the one calendar year and you've a good month or two to let the body relax."
