Huge congratulations to our neighbours. Well deserved. I said after you beat us I hoped you went on and won. 
Well done again. Great for Leinster football

I honestly think majority of games are 50/50. With exception of Galway v Kildare which should be a little more than a training exercise for Galway

Can't see anything but a Dublin victory in the final. Westmeath beat an overhyped Meath team and were taken to et by a very poor Kildare team.

Leinster football is in a poor place.

Ahh no overhype. We be long in championship after the Lilly's have tamely raised the white flag.
What's white and parked up 9 month of the year. ?

Not a peep out of you last week. Did you hurt yourself when you fell off the hype train?

The difference between Kildare and Meath is that in Kildare we knoware not good enough to win provincial or AI titles at the moment. While in Meath you think you are. Deluded.

I hope I don't have to shout so you can hear me all the way down in division 3. But happy with our progress, division one status achieved have beat Kerry , Dublin Galway in last 12 months and a tough but still a winnable draw in round one. We move on. You should too

You haven't moved on since your hoganstand days unfortunately. Still hyping Meath up and falling flat on your face. You'll learn eventually.

Choo choo.

Love to know where you get hype out of what I wrote. But sure there's no pleasing some people ted

Onto the actual draw. Every game will be competitive and could go either way with the exception of Galway v Kildare which will be a little more than a training exercise for the tribesmen.

I'm getting sick of playing cork at this stage.

Repeat of the League final. Kerry will never close that gap to Donegal. Yerra.

Also a repeat of division 2 final. Long trip to cork ahead again

I want the rossies

Yes indeed - 5 possible repeat pairings
Armagh v Tyrone
Roscommon v Mayo
Monaghan v Cavan/Derry
Dublin v Louth
Westmeath v Kildare

Or Westmeath Meath.

Love to see Westmeath go on and win now. Be great for football

Congratulations to Westmeath. Knew they'd be up for it. We weren't. It is that simple. Huge fan of RB but at end of the day sticking with the same 15 was a mistake. I said here after league final billy hogan should be in goal. Going forward that's what has to happen. Conlon not starting was also a huge error , and even worse to leave him on bench when things weren't going well,  Ryan has the be brought into backs. Wholesale changes needed from 1 to 8, McBride also very poor today. Still expect us to be in last 8. With Costello and jones to come back. But while RB says it's a hard 15 to get into it cannot be a hard 15 to get dropped from.
On Westmeath they will reach a Leinster final where they will play Louth. And id love them to win it. So best wishes to them going forward

Fair play Dunneroyal, bound to be a tough one that to take. Westmeath certainly no bad side but Meath obviously would have been expecting to win that. Funny old team Meath, beating Dublin, Kerry and Galway against the odds last year, having a very good league this year but also losing a Leinster final they should have won plus that horror show against Donegal. Interesting to see how they bounce back and would expect them to have a big performance or 2 down the line.

Ahh very hard to take. And I'm sure it will take a week or so for the lads to get over. Honestly after the league was a bit worried that we were too open at the back (think we had 2nd highest score against). Our forwards kept getting us out of trouble, it was the old adage we will score more than you. But that's a dangerous game when for whatever reason the forwards don't clock. Jordan Morris had his worst game in 18 months , frayne off, lynch didn't fire , McBride not shooting, probably better options on bench who came in too late. Flynn while doing a lot couldn't get into grove same as O'Connor. It will hurt them. But if we get a couple of lads back and a few changes in the back lines and gk I still feel we will have a good run. They need to dust themselves down and refocus. It isn't going to be easy but needs to be done

Louth to just get past Wexford.
Dublin to put down a marker
Kildare Laois could go either way
Meath Westmeath, Westmeath to keep it tight may even be ahead at HT. Meath to pull away in last 20 when empty bench.

Unlike last year Meath have developed dept , can you imagine what Adam O'Neil Connor duke and in particular James Conlon could do to tired Westmeath legs. Conlon could put 1-6 on in a blink of a eye
