So whats everyone's hopes and expectations for the game on Sunday. Looks like it will be allowed go ahead so what are peoples hopes for this game? Monaghan are in danger of going down if they don't get a result. They'll not be lacking in motivation therefore.

This is our last hit out before the championship and would be nice to get a win and some kind of a boost ahead of that.

Will there be any or many changes from the Dublin game? I'd expect the Ratoath boys to come back in, primarily McGill and McMahon and possibly Joey Wallace. Will Seamus Lavin be available. A big loss if not there. Who drops out for them to come in? And will there be other changes?

All going well, fitness permitting and we all know its unlikely

Colgan
Hickey-McGill-Harkin
J McEntee-Keoghan-Lavin

J Wallace-McMahon-Devine
O'Sullivan-Walsh-O'Reilly

They'll want to hammer seven shades out of us if they can. We dont do well against Ulster teams by-and-large due to their attention to detaill in tactics and physical conditioning, so youd have to think itll be uphill. Still though, who knows? I didnt have a lot of faith in this Meath team before and they proved me wrong. Square up and dont be outmuscled and put together some of the patterns they did vs. Dublin and they should definitely be in contention. What better time than now to get that first win against Div.1 opposition. It's a stretch to predict a win though.

Expect this to be a bigger test, Monaghan need a win and hope for good result from Mayo/Tyrone, so will throw everything the have at us. Expect a home win, however another good run out before championship. But as per every game from now on a lot will depend on who both teams have available on the day.
Game is on TG4 (deferred coverage)

Just want to wish Andy Bryan Donal and all the lads the best of luck. Incredibly nervous at this one. Great prep for Championship. Although we done ok against the Dubs there wasnt enough foot passing. Different to summer football and we need to adapt. Let in high and long. Shane Welsh well able to claim a mark and likewise McMahon. We just need to BELIEVE. Hon the Royal!

I think Banty and Monaghan are in for a shock today, historically the Ulster teams shut us down and out muscle us but there s a bit of steel in this team. I can see us winning today, we badly missed McGill last week and McMahon would have buried one of those goal chances.

Meath by +2.

Was very impressed by performance against Dublin. Clearly a lot of work done on the mental aspects of the game as lads looked very confident and assured. O'Reilly is turning into a fine footballer-well capable of winning his own ball , works hard and was impressive on frees. Himself and Walsh make for two good target men inside. Having a solid freetaker is something we have been lacking big time.

We hit 15 misses against Dublin including 3 goal chances. Up the conversion rate and we should win.

A win against a division 1 team would represent a breakthrough.

Come on Meath, very windy day out. Hoping they can use the elements, let the ball in early when we have the wind.
