Yeah I don't think anyone of those would fancy drawing us, IF we get to be in that position. We owe Monaghan to be fair. They really progressed since we both got promotion from div 3, while we stagnated. Hopefully that is changing now

I agree we must b thinking at least beat any one those teams realistically we not ready for dubs but seeing how far off them will b a bonus going forward.i think a loss would not deflate them to much it's how there managed when that happens is important.but lot football to b played before that can happen. Sunday is potential banana skin let's hope not.

There's always plenty to read in the papers before the championship and it's understandable that people enjoy it because they're looking forward to the summer etc. But at the end of the day, it is just pure speculation. Lets not meet trouble half way, we can't plan for how we'll get on in a Leinster final or who we're playing in a last round qualifier or anything else. All we know for certain is that we're playing on Offaly on sunday and the winner plays Carlow, nothing else is certain. Lets focus on who's in front of us and how we can make ourselves as hard as possible for any team to play against. Hopefully we'll have a good run this year, we haven't gone into a championship in this good of shape in many years and brings a lot of hope to the county which is great to see. But results are all you're judged on at the end of the day and we haven't produced anything in the championship for a decade now. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8583 - 09/05/2019 12:58:22 2182717 Link 6 |

While I'd generally agree re team. I'd be concerned about harnans fitness level. Maybe I'm wrong but I think campion might be better option. Any word on Kane's arm???

No doubt Campion is a good player but personally I like Ethan Devine more. Campion lacks the consistency of performance that Devine brings in my opinion. I think Campion has great potential and I think both he and Devine will make up 2/3rds of our half forward line in years to come! I saw both play in the Club Championship recently and thought Devine's influence on the games was more meaningful! That said I wouldn't be bent out of shape with either

Regards the defence, 100% Gallagher starts corner back if he's fit, ryan will be 7. Other 4 are obvious southmeathgael (Meath) - Posts: 709 - 09/05/2019 19:15:25 2182806 Link 11 |

Devine won't start but he will be part of the 26 I heard. Doubt he would have started anyway, he didn't seem to get as much game time as some of the other forwards. I can see what ASaminthehand is saying about Campion being inconsistent but I would give him a chance vs Offaly. If he hasn't improved he should be just used from the bench in the upcoming games.

Any team announcement yet? David (Meath) - Posts: 566 - 10/05/2019 09:01:18 2182876 Link 0 |

Kane is a possibility for the panel Sunday but unlikely I would think. Ruairi O'Coilean was back in training since mid to late league campaign. Barney123 (Meath) - Posts: 676 - 10/05/2019 11:08:23 2182904 Link 10 |

Niall Kane can run but sure he is still has not full mobility in his arm from what I hear. O'Coiliean had an injury and again I dont think he is in contention either as he may be just back or maybe is still out . Meath to win but this will be tighter than most folk think. Offaly wont be rolling over for us

David I am not sure I dont think his involved. They named over 36 players on the program in the challenge game a few weeks ago v Roscommon Ruairi O'Coileain and Alan forde where not named on it.

Both incorrect. O'Coillean has a stress fracture and hasnt featured for NOM in either championship game because of it. Kane only has his cast off a week, still over a month away from contact training. Meathmaverick (Meath) - Posts: 95 - 10/05/2019 11:40:05 2182913 Link 0 |

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I thought that I didn't notice O'Coileain feature for O'Mahonys in championship. Also I would be surprised if Kane was in full training. I would have to agree with Tomas O'Se from interview this AM. Definitely think we will win but Offaly will run us close. They will not fear Meath. Hence anxiously confident.
