Thank you. It does seem that there is agendas at play, and I dont like it. No other player is as scrutinized as Reilly is, I could pick 7/8 players who were worse than him v Louth, and even at that he scored 3 from play not to mention what he contributed to other scores. Now did he have a great game? No, was it a solid performance? Yes. Regardless of what Wayne will tell you, watch v dubs he will be our only forward double marked, why I wonder will that be? Its not cause he doesn't track back enough, its cause he can create that something, now the good thing is that in doing that we will free up either Wallace or osullivan, which hopefully will be to our benefit. But id rather talk about the match rather than individual players, as regardless of what some might say if mod dropped Reilly it would end his management, mod may be many things but he ain't stupid.

Actually switch Biggy or Smyth with Newman, we need someone to take the frees......plus I also forget Newman.

Again it's another thing I have actually thought about putting Rooney ful forward htaem(think Aidan O Shea)..he will definitely break the first tackle and if so it could well be one and one with the keeper to beat..that full back line of Dublins looks shaky I must admit,hard working midfield may well be the key to helping out defensives duties against the Dubs also!

Can't believe what I am reading there royaldunne.... Hope it's a wind up. Should we drop biggy too for that time the game turned totally on its ear against dublin when he got shouldered over the side line by McCarthy? Crazy stuff. Keogan and harnan NEED to start.

You could try worse things WhyTheLongFace, ok my original post wasn't 100% serious but Rooney in at full-forward wasn't exactly a joke either, it could be worth a try. If you look at the positives, he's an excellent fielder of a ball, he has a habit of going on solo runs and then losing the ball, so why not have him closer to goal where he has to make is mind up much quicker and he's a big strong lad who could cause awful problems for a FB line. The drawback is we'd be stuck for options around the middle, but we can't just get Paddy to boom down 50-60m kickouts and hope Rooney catches the lot, we need far better short options and accurate goal kicks. Ps, Micko won't try Rooney at FF anyway, Rooney will start around the middle on Sunday week and it's probably for the best. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 17/06/2016 09:28:24 1868017 Link 1 |

This is the one Croke Park game I always get tickets from local club (I prefer not to be surrounded by Dubs). I think I may be too late to get tickets from club, are tickets available from to buy from County board/ if so were do I get them ? bdbuddah (Meath) - Posts: 1365 - 17/06/2016 09:52:56 1868026 Link 0 |

I agree that when Reilly went of against WM last year we where missing some to carry the ball and link up with the forwards and maybe if stayed on we could have won. But its really is clutching at straws to have to keep point back to that game as one of his best. Talk yous though why Reilly melted in the snow V Cavan this year when are we where 8 points. I not blaming him but if he so good how come he didn't win ? I will get the ball rolling for you he was injured, he was played out of position....

Burke is definitely a leader and that's one of the main reasons why he's in the team imo. Keogan and Tobin show great leadership through their play. O'Sullivan is an obvious one as well. Looks to be very vocal on the pitch and has great confidence in his own ability. We're a very quiet team in general so hopefully his personality will rub off on others. Almost everything good we did against Louth went through him and we'll need a similar performance to keep in touch with Dublin.

I would agree,I think all those guys are leaders.The younger ones will become better leaders.I would say Rooney has leadership qualities too.

Forgot about Rooney. Stands up when it matters most and is always willing to carry the ball. Great buzz about the crowd when he sizes up his opposing man! MarkMyWords (Meath) - Posts: 498 - 17/06/2016 14:24:02 1868198 Link 0 |

He's genuinely passionate too. Real pity we didn't have Gillespie with him..

Re. Rooney I noticed during O'Byrne and league the lads trying a little move of playing balls into the corner to set up Rooney with bulldozing run through the D on goal bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1792 - 17/06/2016 18:57:51 1868295 Link 1 |

I thought this sections thing was supposed to do away with 6 day turnarounds.....looks like we'll have one after the Dublin game, our qualifier is pencilled in for either 2nd or 3rd of July, hopefully 3rd, but still a week after playing Dublin is a total joke, and could away in Derry or armagh for instance. They really can't organise anything can they southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 895 - 18/06/2016 08:05:26 1868399 Link 1 |

Good of the Meath hurling panel to have an open training session and all kids are welcome for a puck around with the team. Can't see the same thing happening with the seniors incase spy's show up and find out the detailed master plan to beat Dublin. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 18/06/2016 10:33:37 1868424 Link 0 |

Huge pity that we are missing McGill,Power and McEntee for this game.Good news is that Tobin is fit to line-out. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 18/06/2016 11:02:08 1868434 Link 1 |

While they looses without doubt, who would you drop from the Louth game, Douglas? Smyth? Tormey? I think with the exception of McDonagh all have earned their place to start v dubs. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 18/06/2016 17:52:12 1868496 Link 0 |
