Because he is coming home confirms nothing!! Now I hope your right and when it's confirmed that he is back with Meath then great! Personally whether he plays or not this team will struggle massively so watch this space I suppose

I disagree about this Meath team struggling next year,the mass exodus of players leaving the panel has been greatly exaggerated by a couple of negative posters here, it appears it's just Harnan of the regular starters that's gone for the full year and we've gained Rooney, another year under mcentee should bring this youngish Meath team on allot in my opinion, looking forward to 2018 hon the royals Royal.Legend (Meath) - Posts: 665 - 02/11/2017 09:57:13 2059695 Link 1 |

What role should Graham Reilly play in the set up next year? bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1790 - 02/11/2017 12:22:15 2059740 Link 0 |

I don't think he should play any role at all nowhere near good enough on the big day, he will kick scores all day against poor sides but come a big day he goes hiding. WATER HEN

I would play a 3 man half forward line with players who will work off the ball and win around midfield.The likes of Forde and James McEntee,these lads can also play a bit.. For me then play a 2 man forward line (guys who can win a 50/50. Possibly Newman and Lenihan. Leaving one man to play in between the lines and that has to be Reilly or O'Sullivan. This player won't have to track back as much and will look to link up with the inside line. ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 02/11/2017 13:21:44 2059760 Link 1 |

Agree with home truths here, never performs on the bigger days, was easily the worst player on the field against Kildare, just not good enough from one of our more experienced players and captain, time to plan without biggy.

I think that's a little harsh on the lad. He's a good loose ball player and exploits space well when he get's it. The best teams just don't allow that space. He'd be a great man to spring off the bench when defenders legs are getting a little tired, ala Jody Devine in years past. Unfortunately we don't have many better players than him to start games so I suppose it'll be a similar role to last year but without the captaincy.

Would start him or O'Sullivan. One on the bench to come on as they could do damage coming on against tired legs. Same goes for Wallace and McMahon imo.Could be deadly from the bench later on.

Silly statement,There is and must be a place for Graham Reilly in the team this year..Im not his biggest fan and While I do agree that he struggles against the big teams most of this meath team do also..Hes a decent player with the potential to be better at times..Maybe play him inside the full forward line and concentrate on scoring and take the pressure of defending off him..If graham isnt picked on this meath squad then the majority of them wouldn't either

What about Paraic Mckeever if he comes into the squad? Would you play him?

Ouch Royaldunne will not be impressed by this Although tbf its a very very valid point. But to balance it out Biggy is easily put out of games as he's the sole attention of most top teams when playing Meath. If we had 3/4 top class forwards Biggy wouldn't have as much attention drawn to him so would have a bit more space. I'd love to see biggy kick 1-2/3 or 4/5 points in a tight close game against one of the top teams this upcoming summer and we can put this to bed. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1954 - 02/11/2017 17:36:11 2059827 Link 0 |

No way would I have o Sullivan on the bench. Very important player for us in my opinion and a class act. Needs some refinement but raw materials are there.

It was a very silly and uneducated comment to begin with. However I will respond to yours as it's a valid one. Any egit can see the lesser teams can't handle graham, that's why he has a field day against them. Kildare double marked him as did Donegal, no other player was double up on from Meath in either game, now should he be better prepared for this type of treatment at this stage? Yes. But then how do you loose a extra marker more efficiently? Have someone else who is just as dangerous with the ball. Newman showed previous he could be, lenihane has potential, O'Sullivan was my real disappointment last year, but must be given another shout , Re the captaincy, graham will remain as captain if he wants it, that goes without question, Andy is a stickler for consistency and will not change unless he has to. Plus who would replace him? The only obvious one is Micky burke, is stoney a 70 minute man in 18? Before anyone says Donal, he doesn't want it and has said so on record. Only other option is Brian menton. In short if graham wants another year as captain he will get it, and rightfully so Ps you will have to remind me as I won't google it but did he not score 2 v Donegal?? In a tight match. Could be totally wrong. If I am apology in advance :) royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 02/11/2017 20:52:14 2059870 Link 0 |
