Replying To redser123:  "There's a lot of short term memory when it comes to Eoghan Frayne. He is an absolutely lethal shooter with both feet. Any county would gladly welcome him. He's been down on form lately but he's one the least of my concerns. He was our best forward last year and he had another good league this year apart from the Louth game. As meath fans we should be celebrating players like Frayne and not knocking him. He may lack a yard but I've seen him harm a lot of teams with his other attributes."

Replying To brian:  "I just can't make any sense of this team, and I'm not sure where they are at all. First 35 minutes yesterday and they'd struggle to win a game in the Talltin cup, never mind Sam. All the old failings were back, lack of intensity, miles of the opponents, terrible wides and an over all malaise, carrying ball into the tackle etc. Second 35 minutes and everything started coming off, they looked sharper and more focused and dialled in. I agree with posters that are saying certain players are being carried right now, and calling for players to be taken out of the team and replaced unfortunately you're taking a player of equal ability out to be replaced by a guy of about equal standard. Meath have no division one calibre players and that's an honest assessment they've a couple of top end division two guys and the rest are hard honest triers but not getting you anywhere close to a top 10 team. The top 10 is well defined and Louth are making the jump towards them. We're bunched in a group with Cork, Cavan, Westmeath, Down, Offaly and Kildare. Too good for the Tailteann but not good enough for Sam. And don't come at me about league position, Louth walloped us and we're missing several front line guys including their talisman in Sam Mulroy. For the Dublin game, Adam O'Neill has to start. It's a travesty that he's sitting in the stands. Dunno if there's still injury concerns or he ant play 70 minutes but start him at least and let him play until he can't. Doesn't matter if he's 3,6 or 8/9.. get your best guys on the field. I'd also bring in Daithi McGowan at 12. He can fetch a ball and score from distance. He's no world beater but he has ability. James McEntee is another option I'd look at including, in the half forward line. Kinsella, Moriarty and Curtis are honest players but not going to be good enough to beat a Dublin, neither are Lynch or Conlon, we've seen that movie before, but Robbie has to go with some combination of those guys. Are any of those 5 markedly better than Jason Scully, I don't know tbh. Frayne has gone entirely off the boil in recent weeks, and looks bereft of confidence. Duke is handy for a few scores and two pointers, Flynn the same, but we lack any quality forward. The Dubs will key in on mattie Costello and shut him down quickly and we'll be way behind the 8 ball. Goals are still a major issue for us.. Jones had 3 and Jordie 2… and then six guys with 1 each. 11 goals in 9 games, just won win at the top level not getting goals, We lack any kind of a poacher or fox inside and we'll need 3 goals to trouble Dublin at all So for me Hogan or Brennan - still not convinced here and can see the dubs getting 3 or 4 goals Lavin Rafferty - not convinced at all tbh Keoghan Hickey O'Neill Caulfield Menton - don't have options really but he has always struggled v Dublin Flynn Duke McEntee McGowan Scully.. he'll work like a dog and you need that v Dublin Costello Frayne… but on dodgy footing How I think he'll go Hogan LAvin Rafferty O'Halloran Coffey Keoghan Caulfield Menton Flynn Duke Kinsella Harkin/Hickey Conlon Costello Frayne"
