Agree with all names apart from Luke Mitchell. Unfortunately IMO he hasn't pushed on enough from being a minor all star 3 years ago. His form for Dunshaughlin has been patchy at best so would need to have a really good year next year to be considered for a Meath call up maybe in 2023

Yeah agreed not at level at moment if you have seen Dunshaughlin this year but one for future if he works on his weaknesses

fair point, would a year with the county panel maybe help get him back to the level he could be at? Not playing but getting used to the levels needed? If you look at Jordan Muldoon, didn't get any playing time (i think) but benefited from being involved with te panel; all year. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1973 - 30/11/2021 14:24:00 2391214 Link 13 |

Well thats a lie ;) Cian Ward is in his late 30's, Sean Meade and James O'Hare are both off travelling But anyways who's your inside source ;) My inside source says some how Andy has found the fountain of youth and the following have all committed to playing at the height of their powers Cormac O'Sullivan Marc Reilly Darren Fay Terry Ferguson Graham Geraghty Liam Harnan Martin O'Connell John McDermott Liam Hayes Trevor Giles Mattie Kerrigan Tommy Dowd Colm O'Rourke Brian Stafford Bernard Flynn Mickey McQuillan Mick Lyons Padraic Lyons Enda McManus Kevin Foley Colm Coyle Gerry McEntee David Beggy PJ Gillic Mattie McCabe Joe Cassells Brendan Reilly Ollie Murphy Pat Reynolds Ken Rennicks Stephen Bray Look I'm sure some of those names will be in there for sure and rightly so but think mere speculation won't help. brian (Meath) - Posts: 1973 - 01/12/2021 14:17:14 2391304 Link 12 |

Ok LOL . Don't get me wrong I am not doubting Cian Wards ability or how good he was this year but I would be very surprised at his age if he (A) Got called up and (B) Accepted a call up.

Agreed with what you say and don't think Cian would be interested in coming back. I mean he was disgarded at 27/28 and whilst he was never the most active of players he was as good an inside forward as you could hope for and was absolutely lethal.

Andy wants Cian Ward to be his new goalkeeper. Thinks his striking ability from kickouts and frees will make us a force to contend with! Crinigan (Meath) - Posts: 1352 - 02/12/2021 14:24:51 2391431 Link 15 |

For the league we have roscommon down cork and derry at home and away we have galway offaly and clare, the fixture list has worked in our favour with four home games surely promotion is a achievable goal for 2022. Royal.Legend (Meath) - Posts: 685 - 22/12/2021 14:07:51 2393486 Link 2 |

Meath got the luck of the draw there alright. As you say, with the way it has worked out, promotion is definitely achievable. Other than Galway, all your other tough games are in PT. Ye will beat both Offlay and Clare away from home imo, and possibly get a draw in Galway. If you start with a strong performance v the Tribesmen, it will set ye up nicely and give ye a great chance of a return to Div.1 Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4051 - 22/12/2021 15:14:36 2393493 Link 2 |

Will be interesting to see what team is put out/announced for Saturday and then the inevitable 13 changes for the v starting team and bench. But at least it'll give us some ideas about who might've been called up to the squad brian (Meath) - Posts: 1973 - 04/01/2022 16:20:40 2393578 Link 6 |

Think that's more for league and championship. Whiche let's be honest we not the only county who does it. Doesn't bother me in slightest

Spoke to a lad in work who was involved with Laois Senior management a few years back and asked him about this practice of naming a team then making 2 or 3 changes on the day because it is a bugbear of mine also and this was his explanation. The thing about the changes to the team named in the programme is that the program team has to be in to the GAA by Wednesday night or i think it is Thursday afternoon at the latest for the programmes to be printed up and ready for the weekend . Generally the management don't sit down to pick the team until after the last training session of the week which would normally be on Thursday or Friday night . There is probably always 2 or 3 spots that are up for grabs with a few lads fighting for them so of course the team might change from the one given in for the progamme . Also quite often you might have lads who are carrying an injury and are touch and go if they can start and you want to give them as long as possible for the injury to clear up so you name them in the team and hope by sunday they are good to go. Sometimes they will be sometimes they wont be. Makes sense to me when its laid out. I genuinely don't think teams are doing it to try and get one up on the opposition or some kind of edge I just think they are being asked to submit a team in the middle of the week before they have actually picked the team for the weekend. If a management team are being asked to submit their team on a Wednesday or Thursday and they haven't actually picked the team it is no surprise there is a few changes to starting team so maybe we should get away from the practice of asking them to submit teams midweek. My solution would be to have squad numbers for the season. Have them all printed in the programme and us fans can tick a box beside the starting 15 for each game when it is announced before the game starts. Anyway just thought you might be interested in this. I was because the team changes annoys me but now I understand the main reason behind it I totally get it.
