I think it's a fair reflection of where both teams are at. Meath did really well and will look back positively on the year, but realistically aren't in the top 5 teams so did exceedingly well to get to a SF.
Plenty to build on for the future.

Still can't see Donegal beating Kerry.

Donegal should probably hold back a bit now for the final.

But Meath have had a great year lol. Beat Dublin but didn't knock them out. Beat Kerry but didn't knock them out. Beat by Louth in Leinster final. Finished nearer the bottom of Divison 2. But they did have a good win against Galway!

Cavan
Mayo
Louth
Monaghan
Meath
monaghan gave them something to think about before running out of steam. This has been too easy. Having said that kerry were comfortable yesterday too so neither learned much in their semi final

Galway would have  given Donegal a better game of it

This is very poor  from Meath.

My 8 point  prediction is looking very generous now

I suppose the rematch of Donegal v Galway would been possibly a better game, but Meath played well that day whereas Galway were shocking

Can't wait. Think we will be victorious. Just don't see how Donegal will handle kinsella , Duke , Costello, Morris.
In keoghan and raff we have the players to nullify anything Donegal throw at us. 
Could be completely wrong. But honestly can't see anything other than a Meath victory by a few

Somebody think of Rorys Stories!

Fair bit muscle from Donegal of the bench.

I already told Rory, Murphy was God last nite lol

Gallen is some player. Presence of mind and coolness to pick that pass is rare

Vast difference in quality between these two teams. Donegal will give Kerry their fill of it.

The 2 best teams are in the final it'll be interesting to see if Jim has something up his sleeve for the Kingdom.

oops... donegal just awesome but meath miles off it and the manner of this defeat is a Big setback for the meath project

Did't seen this hammering coming. to be honest but if u look at their league position Meath are no great shakes and got put to the sword hy Louth in the Leinster final, who got well beat in games after.
