We have a few big players but plenty smaller lads. Still should be well able to go 70+ minutes. If a player is involved at county level from underage that shouldn’t be an issue these days.

So frustrating. To have the commentators questioning our strength and conditioning at this stage seems unforgivable. We should be at the same level as the best teams in Ireland in that department, no excuses. We have the facilities, the clubs have the facilities. I can’t get my head around that. I really f**king hope Colm wises up now defensively. We’ll be lucky to get a result from Kildare if we play man to man again.

Meaths defending is so naïve it’s embarrassing. It’s making it so easy for Dublin. I can’t see the wind making that much of a difference in the second half but poor choice of shooting from the forwards.

Shocked to see this. Awful for someone to go just like that.

Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends.

We all know that but O’Rourke isn’t the only one on the sideline. Bray, Callaghan and Garrigan were supposed to keep us grounded in the 21st century.

Meath can’t defend at all. Don’t know what the issue is. We’re conceding loads every game. There’s good individual defenders in Keoghan and Adam O’Neill but as a unit they’re porous.

We don’t have a hope against Dublin but Kildare look beatable but it would be typical of them to have their best game against us.

20 mins gone. Lively start from Meath, Louth a bit wasteful.

Poor shooting really let us down but ultimately it’s disappointing but not all that surprising. No surprise  that we’d get caught out playing the style of play that we’ve taken but at the same time shot selection and accuracy didn’t help at all.

Do you not think the poor shooting was in the last quarter when game was well over?

Missed the first half to be honest but going on the second half our shooting was deplorable. Unfortunately we’re not going to get promoted with a makeshift midfield, we got by in the previous games but this was the real test of us against a top team and it’s clear to see that there are still serious shortcomings.

Meath unchanged. Shane Walsh back fit but Costello still out. If Walsh is not fully fit Moriarty to start instead I would expect. Toughest challenge for Colm so far but he seems to have settled on a starting 15 and has been quick to make changes when needed and it’s worked out so far.

We’re finding the goals anyway but not tight at the back. At least we’re staying in front and not letting good leads slip. Shane Walsh getting injured is a bit of a loss but Lenihan has stepped in nicely. Seems a bit silly of Colm moaning about players playing too much with sigerson but he still picked Walsh to start. Should have rested him clearly.

Anyway, Derry next week is a big step up and if we can get a point from it up there that would be a solid start.

Meath team for Clare game. Costello rested this week after seigerson game while Walsh stays in the starting 15. Great chance for Moriarty to shine at this level.
