Replying To JimB1991:  "Shane Walsh could get 6 months rest from inter-county football also if you're not careful.
In fairness the Galway players or management are not as misguided in their confidence as some of their supporters so I don't think it will be taking their eye off this game that will get them.
They have got the best draw even though I still think Meath are capable of beating them. Galway should get over the line though.
Whoever wins this will be the big outsiders in the semi final I feel."
Thank you for your input on the Galway Meath game, best of luck to Monaghan

Replying To 1st..sub:  "Im expecting a win at the weekend, as long as we are fully focused on the game and not have one eye on potential opponents in a semi final we should have enough for Meath.
My big worry is the way teams cut through us down the middle. I would like to see our number 6 man his position and not get drawn up the field. It looks like that will be Kelly but I would rather him at 7 with the option of going forward and have Daly at 6 with instructions not to pass midfield and keep the distance between 3 and 6 tight.
Under no circumstances should Walsh play unless he is 100% fit which I'm led to believe he is not. 3 weeks rest will do him no harm. We have men to step up in his place."
The problem with Daly at 6 is Daly is needed as a kick passer up front that's were his strength is not as a true hold the line 6.
As many other people, I thought Kelly was fantastic marking Havern out around arc on Sunday.
Since Meath have a similar 2 point threat, I imagine that we'd need the exact same thing - ie Kelly pushing out on Frayne/Costello/Duke to make sure they dont get the easy shots off.
