Depending on the draw it's home or away for Mayo.

If drawn against Meath the away tie it will be Croke Park as Navan is out of operation.

As good a draw as we could have hoped for another division 2 team from last year promoted now. Expecting a sell out but weather not looking great. If AOS is to feature he must start IMO.

Don't think we'll see O Shea the next day. Could do a job inside maybe at best. Lack of killer instinct again yesterday. McGreal a huge positive. Midfield still a big worry. Carney happy to break ball yesterday instead of trying to field. Hard to know where we are at.

Prob fair to say its a decent draw for both teams, could have been alot worse. Home draw always what ya want, could be a shootout. I would have liked to be able to get Dublin too, I think they are the worst team left in it, never thought we'd say that, zero 2 point threat. I think ourselves and yourselves are top two teams on 2 pointers this season so far, mayo being 1st.

One thing about this championship is we area learning every week that there are better players in the extended squad than have been playing so far.

This week Eoin McGreal stepped up while Jack Coyne and AOS left us in no doubt that they are not up to it.

Just hope we keep learning becuase the championship is wide open.

Jack Coyne going through a bad patch but to say he isn't up to it is ridiculous.

Disagree, the reason AOS (who was the wrong man for sure) took on the shot was because all the sharpshooters were gone missing, and not for the first time. He had laid the ball off only to have it handed back to him and time was all but up.

Hasn't played well all year in a mayo team focused on attack.

Played well last year in a Mayo team playing defensive football.

He hasn't the one v one man marking skills needed for corner back these days. To say he has would be ridiculous.

Meath at home is a great draw really when you consider we could just as easily been on a road trip down to Killarney. Meath seem to be happy enough to have drawn us too so it's on paper probably a 50/50 game.

I thought our defence had improved v Tyrone from the Monaghan game. Few bad hand passes and u forced turnovers were a killer. Meath like ourselves can kick 2 pointers but Alo's like ourselves their fullback line can be got at. This game could be a shootout.
