We cannot surely be happy with today's defence. Clare scored 1-18, which incidentally is more than Dublin scored against Meath. Hon the Royals. Ibbecek (Meath) - Posts: 196 - 07/07/2019 21:07:57 2207390 Link 0 |
O'Sullivan is a far bigger threat than Brennan !

Our forwards accounted for 1-13 (1-8 from play) with all 6 starters getting on scoresheet.

Reilly brilliant link man. And Brennan only player to keep the show on the road in last 10 mins. Delighted for him after the abuse he received. Thrilled, delighted.

Great win not best performance but we are in the Super 8s and I would have taken that at the start of the year now we will be playing 3 High Quality teams not sure how will get on in them but it can only improve us as team playing the top teams. Up the Royal and bring on the super 8s Foreveraroyal (Meath) - Posts: 34 - 07/07/2019 21:28:52 2207414 Link 0 |
Thought Devine had a couple of very impressive fields today and always used the ball well also...not the worst idea Iv heard on here

Excellent excellent post on Brennan. Some of the stuff said about Ben on social media has been totally ott. I'm not going into the cos debate, as I don't want any negatives, I'll only say I'm not going to disagree. But Ben. Fantastic, he rammed it down the throats of the keyboard warriors. Winning point to get us into super 8s scored by..... BEN BRENNAN. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 07/07/2019 21:31:54 2207421 Link 1 |
Devine Conlon and Campion have added something this year. They seem fearless and with buckets of talent. Watch out for Walsh. I think he is a serious prospect and dont be surprised by end of super 8 he is our full forward for next year's league . I would start him v Donegal with Newman or Conlon both sides And if Newman injured Walsh will probaly start. Its pity we dont have Donal lenihan this year. But hopefully he will be back nexr year which means we could have competition in full forward line in next years league between Newman, Conlon , Walsh , lenihan , T O Reilly , Toibin , Dardis and hopefully players like Morris or Mitchell from this years under 20 team. I think a forward line of Newman Lenihan Conlon or Walsh pick any three of them has potential. But watch out for Walsh I think he is a serious prospect and player we having been crying out for a proper modern full forward.

No he didnt. Clearly played wing forward marked initially by their #7 with about 3" height advantage, before #4 picked him up. He did roam around the middle half forward division but thats the modern day half forward. Definitely positioned at wing firward for k/outs though.

Is Australia a worry with him..?

I'm not getting into negatives, I wouldn't blame the full backline for fair bit of them scores. Two reasons been , one Clare scored a fair few around the 45, and two our halfbacks were used more as forwards than defense today.

Haven't heard anything about Walsh and Aus. He isn't the most lean so maybe they wouldn't take him on that grounds. Hopefully they don't. Cian McBride is a big worry. Already in AFL group trainings for Irish players I believe. Selfishly I hope none of them go and that Nash comes home haha

Completely missed the point, O'Sullivan I would agree is a far bigger scoring threat. Point I was making is that for all his talent and threat he has contributed nothing over the last 2 games and yet the majority of Meath fans seem to be completely blind to it. Against Dublin, all 6 of the starting forwards had an off day and the 4 that came on did nothing either. Yet it was Brennan that was torn apart on here all week, some of the comments where a disgrace to be honest.

Agree here fair play to Brennan must of been a tough couple of weeks for him.

There is some serious talent or what looks seriously good talent to come back in next year and go make the step up from the u20. Foreveraroyal (Meath) - Posts: 34 - 07/07/2019 22:27:40 2207478 Link 0 |
Nash for McEntee at midfield would be nice but I'm afraid its probably out of the question over the next few years. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 237 - 07/07/2019 22:34:37 2207483 Link 0 |
Totally agree, it was beyond criticism. And extremely classless by some so called Meath supporters. But he answered them in the best fashion today. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 17035 - 07/07/2019 22:37:00 2207486 Link 0 |
God the RTE coverage of the Meath Clare match and particularly the analysis was worse than poor. It was like they couldn't be bothered. Brilliant for us going on. Pat Spillane stating "Meath wont win any match so move on" speaks volumes.... David (Meath) - Posts: 566 - 07/07/2019 23:58:37 2207525 Link 0 |
Still can't believe we are in the Super 8s! Finally dining at the top table again! Great chance to now take each game as it comes and have a good go. You never know could get a run going and dare I say get to All Ireland. Teams in this group will take points off each other. Evernal (Meath) - Posts: 43 - 08/07/2019 00:00:21 2207526 Link 0 |
