Personally think we need more ball winners and power in the half forward line. We're getting cleaned out on breaking ball and generally no where near enough aggression. If everyone fit apart from Canavan (which I'm sure they won't be) I'd be going with:

Morgan
Clark
Hampsey
Quinn
McKernan
Teague
Devlin
Kilpatrick
Kennedy
McGeary
O'Donnell
Oguz/Ben McDonnell
McElholm
Donnelly
Cassidy

Leaving likes of Ruari and McCurry to come in.

For Meath - I would continue to play the younger players. Promotion basically gone, better uncovering a few players, be more beneficial later on in the season.

1. Oisin O'Kane
2. Joey Clarke
3. Aidan Clarke
4. Niall Devlin
5. Michael Rafferty
6. Peter Teague
7. Seanie O'Donnell
8. Brian Kennedy
9. Conn Kilpatrick
10. Ronan Cassidy
11. Ruairi Canavan
12. Conor O'Neill
13. Darren McCurry
14. Mattie Donnelly
15. Eoin McElholm

Niall Morgan
Cormac Quinn
Paudie Hampsey
Ben Cullen
Michael McKernan
Frank Burns
Kieran McGeary
Joe Oguz
Ciaran Daly
Ruairi McCullagh

Centre half back a massive issue still. Offaly created loads of chances straight down the centre of the defence last weekend. It is not like we haven't got options there. Starting the season we had Rory Brennan, Peter Teague, Callum Daly and Joey Clarke. We proceeded to drop one, not play one and play the other two elsewhere.

Everlasting Tyrone 2 big men problem CHB and CHF. Teague the man who held S O'Shea scoreless in AI semi ( after O'Shea scored 12 against Armagh in QF). He is a very focussed man and surely best for CHB for now. But Tyrone so badly need 2 pointer shooters like Mulroy of Louth and plan/work to setup 2 pt chances. It is the key in many ways to the new rules game and has a massive psychological impact on teams. Kennedy great 48m 2pt v Awfully and RC. The 'respect'/lack of confidence v Offaly in 1st half was very sad and must never happen again. Meath at Croker will bury Tyrone if Tyrone behave anything like 1st half v Offaly must get confidence and plan execute 2pt plans. Daly seems to messup goal chances regularly and can't afford that. But l would have RC on from start for his angry determination alone but most of all we surely  need determination and power down the middle to win. Not sure about O'Kane at Croker yet.

Peter Harte was our go to 2 point kicker. McCurry hasn't played much either. R canavan would be a threat but not a sure starter. It's something that has left Ciaran Dalys game at the moment too

Dublin game last year we had two pointers kicked by Peter Harte, Kieran McGeary and Peter Teague. You also have Darren McCurry, Ruairi Canavan, Eoin McElholm, Conor O'Neill, Ronan Cassidy, Ruairi McCullagh, Michael McKernan and Ethan Jordan as recognised two point kickers. Brian Kennedy showed last week it is something he can also add to his game. So we have two point kickers, its creating those opportunities that is the problem.

Was chatting to Michael McKernan this morning, a lovely lad. Was fit to talk away and have the craic in the supermarket in Coalisland. Queuing for the hot food, this was. McKernan of course was for the salad side of the food counter, said to me as he got his food – tuna & sweetcorn = success. Fair play to him, you know. A gent gets a lot of grief at times. Still don't know what he meant by tuna & sweetcorn though.
