Looking at match on Sunday I definitely think it be way closer than people might think ,, in league match earlier in the year Shane Walsh gave a master display his loss can not be understated and with comer also out mayo will definitely fancy there chances doubt mayo will give conroy space around the D for 2 pointers and I'd imagine they will man mark finnert also in league mayo half forward line score 6 from play mchugh marker got 4 that day not having Walsh and comer to come on is massive loss for Galway and a massive plus for mayo hopefully Cooke be on match day squad ,, I'm going for 3 point win for mayo just on fact 2 lads out ,, definitely hope I'm wrong ,

It could be a big positve. Win Sunday, celebrate, and then beat Dublin in Pearse stadium in two weeks. The big positive is - you can't meet the same teams in the play offs that are in your group. So once Galway can get into the top 3 of 4 in their group, they have possibly an easy quarter final, and easy semi final and off they go again. They're not meeting Dublin, Derry, Donegal (possibly) in any quarter or semi finals. Galway can do it. Heads up. It's our year.

Could still end up having to play Tyrone and Kerry to make a semi.

It's all pie in sky but listening to keegan and McMahon today draw will have zero effect on players mindsets.

Also what with comer out no mention of that

Heaney and Daly likely out but they are no longer guaranteed to make 26 which shows our strength in depth
