Now I might be silly,but I will always beleive that we can beat Dublin. Now to have a chance we will need the Dubs to have an off day and we will have to play to our potential. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 13/06/2016 10:18:02 1865967 Link 0 |
Whatever we do in 2 weeks time it has to be different than 2012, 2013 and 2014, we failed on each of those occasions and it would be madness to go out without a new approach, whatever that may be. I know the odds are stacked against us and my belief that Meath can beat Dublin is at an all time low as I'm sure is the case with many other Meath fans but surely the players can't think that way.

If the players have the belief then we can topple the dubs. I believe we can take them. bert09 (Meath) - Posts: 1792 - 13/06/2016 12:32:47 1866093 Link 0 |
No point in stating the obvious. We know what we're up against. RoyalClass (Meath) - Posts: 789 - 13/06/2016 12:36:44 1866099 Link 2 |
Its all you can ask,if we are not good enough fair enough.But lets give it our best shot.Really hope Tobin makes it for this one though.We are weak at the back but also missing defenders.

Htaem Yes absolutely agree team have to have the belief they can win. They can win of course,but there are some long standing problems...Fitness [physically] we consistently have the same players who cannot complete the match duration because of lack of fitness. Why? .Team is still mentally fragile why ? Has this been addressed over the winter? For the Dublin match we will have to have full forward line functioning for full match. I expect Newman will improve his strike rate at free taking. I hope to see our forwards such as Wallace consistently go at the Dublin defence at speed with total support as required. This is a really good Dublin outfit ,and fully deserve the label of the best around at present. I will be happy if every Meath player gives it everything..just like the old days. That will be a good result for me. I will take whatever the scoreboard says after that. No surrender ...of course we can win, its still 15 against 15 or more correctly 20 against 20. The very best of luck lads ... Its a hell of a challenge,and that is the appetising bit that breaths some optimism nobull456 (Meath) - Posts: 1228 - 13/06/2016 12:56:01 1866116 Link 0 |

Lads I like to judge players by how they play in Croker, and around this time last year Bryan McMahon tore apart the Westmeath defense scoring 2-2, somehow we lost I know, but McMahon HAS to start.. probably instead of mcdonagh redser123 (Meath) - Posts: 404 - 13/06/2016 13:59:17 1866161 Link 1 |

If fit I think it makes sense to bring in McEntee for McDonagh, Dublin look to be improving, so should win pulling up, so its up to the lads to shake up the form book, this game is all about performance if we get beaten by better team so be it as long as they give it everything. Louth did not really test our defence yesterday so questions still unanswered. Hopefully D Tobin is ok seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2151 - 13/06/2016 15:34:36 1866225 Link 0 |

Actually that might work.

Of course it will work :) Have you 3 half forwards in Biggy,McEntee,O'Sullivan,have Wallace with a bit of a free role(to a degree) between the lines working off Newman and Tormey.I have a feeling McEntee will be back.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 13/06/2016 16:56:40 1866292 Link 0 |
One flaw that Dublin do have which has already been pointed out is that their full back line lack height. High balls into a target man might work but I'm not convinced we have a ball winner of the calibre required i.e Aidan O'shea, Michael Murphy etc. RoyalClass (Meath) - Posts: 789 - 13/06/2016 16:57:21 1866293 Link 0 |
McGill for sure won't be back,don't rule out the other 2.
