There needs to be a review across all of Leinster to understand what is needed to bring all counties up to a competitive level. Otherwise we're going to see decades slip by and we won't be any closer to solving the problem unless provincial competitions are done away with altogether. If provinces are to stay then this problem has to be solved by the GAA and the Leinster Council.
Leaving it up to the counties themselves isn't good enough and they aren't capable of saving themselves at this point.
(Playing devils advocate Here)
Other than the Cash Cow that is Dublin why should the GAA care about how any county does? When Meath were winning AI's and Leinsters for fun nearly a quarter of a Century ago, did ye care about how anyone else was getting on? It's basically tough sh*t if you cannot get your house in order. What do you want special treatment in Leinster?

Maybe hurling but he must be living in a different world to the rest of us when it comes to football. Take Dublin out and you'd have a competitive championship.
Dublin probably won't be beaten in Leinster until another one of the teams becomes established Division one team and that doesn't look to be happening anytime soon.
It's a race for 2nd place at the moment which gives you a 2nd seed spot in the All Ireland championship group stage. Meath might see themselves as the 2nd best but have got the short straw getting Dublin. Anyone of Kildare/Westmeath/Louth could reach the final making it interesting on that side of the draw.

I think we're too strong for Longford and we have a more settled team now than last year. Having a crack at the Dubs will be good for these young lads to prove themselves. After that they'll have a taste of what the levels needs to be for All Ireland success.
Do you think Meath have improved much since last year?

Shooting let both teams down a bit but kept it close and exciting. Either team could have won it at the end thought we had it when we hit the post.
Happy enough with a draw and if we can beat Cork next game who knows.
I thought it was a strange atmosphere in comparison to our previous games tbh. Meath should've put them out of sight really. Was disappointed to come away with only a point.

Does anybody see any chance for Kildare this weekend?
Are they down more bodies from last weekend?
10/3 is fair odds.
