Replying To bopsy123: "Just a thought but Shane Duffy from Ratoath (ex Monaghan) is probably the strongest and most consistent keeper in Meath at the minute. He would be a great addition for a year or two." Great keeper but with a young family there's not a chance he would be able to put in the commitment required.

Replying To Analyst: "A bit soon i know but St Colmcilles have 9 or 10 on meath U 14's. These lads have been guided by the great Jude mc Nab, give them a few years" yeah doing great work there. the more clubs that do great work the better. must say a bit disappointed that my own club isn't producing more. no players with the u17's'u18's and just a few squad players with the u21's last year.

I'm not going to post on everything at once or I will be here all night but a position we need to freshen up is our goal keeper neither of our keepers this year play in goals for their club. While Paddy has been a great servant for the last number of years he is prone to numerous mistakes that have cost us. As well as that we don't have towering midfielders to bomb kick outs to so we need a keeper with a reliable kick out.
Big Joe is definitely not the answer I feel that it was an insult to every club keeper in Meath bringing Joe in as he hasn't played in goals for Seneschalstown for 15 years nearly, he would be much better suited out the field rather than between the posts.
Hannigan (Ashbourne), Burnlingham (Simonstown) Browne (St Colmcilles), Russell (Kilmainhamwood) and Lynch (Moynalty) have all been the standout keepers over the the past few years from what I have seen who would be worth a look. Surely we at least one of these lads should be on the panel. Now if Colm Honan could get the number one jersey with O Mahonys then he would be my choice but Brennan is fantastic and it is hard to see it happening in the next couple of years.

I tend to agree, I've stood up for Paddy but that giveaway point against Donegal had me seething. I actually wouldn't be dismissive of trying him outfield again as I do think he has attributes that could work in midfield or up front but certainly a new keeper or two is needed in the squad and there are no shortage of candidates in fairness.

Hopefully Andy has learned a lesson and one of his top priorities will be to identify at least one alternative keeper and develop them as best as possible.
As a total side issue, Cormac Sullivan was the goalkeeping coach this year. Do any of these issues come back to him? Do we need Brendan Murphy back in the setup as a goalkeeping coach?

Was the Joe thing a real option at any point , or was it just a inclusion thing .... I doubt it

I said it earlier in this thread that paddy shouldn't be no1 next year. I do believe he should be retain on panel as sub keeper . Joe I think has served his purpose as a experience head In dressing room, and perhaps a role in backroom team beckons.

Replying To Meath_True: "Was the Joe thing a real option at any point , or was it just a inclusion thing .... I doubt it" He was never going to start a game, he would be OK cover if needed for a black or Injury, but his role was in the dressing room and I'd say as a link between Graham Donal and the panel, Andy needed a little more experience in dressing room, take out biggie burke keoghan it was a very inexperienced team, he was another head for the young lads to look up to .

Howya lads, Years on this site and finally got around to setting up an account.
Disappointing year but realistically how much could we expect as it was managements first year.Andy is no mug and I expect this year was more about getting fitness and physicality levels up as something to build on.
I'd agree that we need new faces on the panel next year but i really believe we don't have that many players up to inter-county standard around the county. For what it's worth players I'd like to see involved are
Gk Lynch moynalty - good shot stopper and excellent quick kick outs.
David Toner curraha - really classy footballer comfortable on the ball and a hell of an engine.
Padraig mckeever simonstown - the form forward in the county the last year, physically strong and a free taker.
Mattimoe kells - I know he's in and around the panel but I really think this guys a class act , always seems to have time on the ball and has that creativity we lack.
Anthony Forde moynalvey - haven't actually seen him play yet this year but always thought he'd suit IC football strong,brave and pace to burn. If he sees a gap he'll go for it , think he's a similar type of player to Alan Forde actually.
Look I don't know the ins and outs of all these players and if they've been asked in already but they're the players I believe could make a difference.

Hard to believe that he reason Joe was around the panel was that the younger guys needed "someone to look up to " . I will ask someone in the backroom team this weekend and advise posters . Perhaps they thought he wa a good option as sub goalkeeper . Either way we have lost a few alternatives to Paddy because of it I feel !

The team need a keeper who is consistent and makes good decisions. O Rourke is by far the best keeper in the county and his ability has no bounds but he does not make quick correct simple decisions which has cost Meath in the past.
Conor McHugh, Niall Flynn, Shane Gerathy, Justin Carry Lynch, Shane Duffy, Cian Farnan and Johnny Lynch all offer stable consistency while never being spectacular. The team would benefit from any of these.
A young keeper should be kept on the squad at all times to give him experience. Browne Honan Flynn (Dunboyne) or Adam McDermott are strong up and coming keepers. Adam McDermott is from my own club and will be a Meath keeper in the future.
