The two best number 11s in Meath are Bobby O'Brien and Ruari O'Colleainn imo

From seeing toher quite a bit, I think he could do a job at CB for the footballers but understandably committed to the hurlers

MOD had Toher in at the start of the year and he was cut from the panel. Don't think he chose the hurling over the football.

Beginning even if MOD cut him that doesn't mean much as the man has no clue. Also he is one of the best takers of frees in the county..

I'd agree with you there downunder as he definitely has the skill and physique to play for the footballers.

If MOD will call him back up following a good performance in a hammering in an intermediate match, I dunno

Not sure is O'Coileann or O'Brien for that matter up to that standard just yet but I'd certainly like to see Toher given a go...any time I've seen him in the last couple of years hes stood out. Oisin O'Reilly wouldn't be in contention, nice footballer but a long way to go!

They haven't been given the chance,but one thing O'Colleainn is very good at is working hard off the ball and can turnover ball in the opponents half.He has an eye for a score too..
Bobby O'Brien was Ratoaths best player last season and is one of the few players on the Meath panel who can give a good foot pass.

I was very impressed with cian obriens performance at midfield for ratoath on sunday and couldn't help wondering how he didn't get more game time during the national league especially when meath were struggling at midfield. He reminded me of a young liam hayes the way he galloped through the summerhill defence on several solo runs

Mattimoe played a few times for Meath and is far too small......north Meath lads just desperate for some panel members me thinks

Bob

Fully agree,he could compliment Rooney very well

I heard Terry Skelly was outstanding at the weekend,I wonder could he be drafted into the Meath squad?

ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 19/04/2016 21:03:13    1847407

Yeah excellent, I made it 3 or 4 points against the Down senior...looked fit and probably what we're missing in and around the middle!

Meathmaster (Meath) - Posts: 251 - 20/04/2016 08:23:36    1847426

he was alright wouldnt say he stood out in fairness drumconrath were very poor the only reason it was so tight was that it was a local derby

srgt_slaughter (Meath) - Posts: 462 - 20/04/2016 08:40:46    1847431

But with our of midfielders Slaughter could he be an option? At least on the panel.

ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 20/04/2016 08:47:02    1847432

Certainly an option...let's be honest there's hardly many other midfielders around the county producing stand out performances!

Meathmaster (Meath) - Posts: 251 - 20/04/2016 10:59:24    1847513

How old is he?

ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 20/04/2016 11:14:32    1847523

Ziggy what about James Loughran the Down player you have with DA. Would he still be up to standard, is he the right age etc?
