Replying To Ratoath Royal:  "Yeah on second thought, despite Gillespie's injury nightmare he'd probably be ahead of Meade. I simply picked Meade because of his longevity (and to be fair if I remember correctly he was very good in his last couple of years)."
Brian Meade is only 29 I think should b still involved.

I think he got dropped in 2014, Mick o Dowds second year in charge !

Mick o Dowds talked about strengthen his squad and getting lads pushing each other for places at training ..Good idea ! So technically Michael Newman and Cian Ward were direct opponents for position and free taking ! Michael Newman had a great first year for Meath in 2013...well he had to because Cian Ward was sitting on the bench waiting his chance ! So Mick o Dowd then decided to drop Cian Ward ! Michael Newman then had nobody to push him for his place so his form dropped ! But then when Cian Ward returned to his club he discovered his form, the right thing to do was bring him back into the Meath set up! For some reason that did not happen , Chris O Conner suffered the same faith.
