Nearly caved and bought Davin, but good halfway line seats on there now

Team named

HBC08

That's the team most were expecting, as per the usual this season it'll be more interesting to see the bench.

Galway team out as well.

Wouldn't be shocked with that team starting or any of Power, Glynn, Paul or Patrick Kelly or Comer coming in before throw in either.

I hope gleeson starts

PressRun

I don't think he will start. They'll go with Power on the day imo.

I agree

I’m hearing both Conroy and Cillian are on the bench

I'm hearing Conroy, but not Cillian.

manofwisdom

Looks like stronger and more settled Mayo team on paper than Galway but it's all about the performances on the pitch.

I usually get these predictions well wrong, but I think that team will start.

Wouldn't be surprised to see myself starting either though.

I'd expect that team to start also. It's the same team that started against Donegal in round 6 and 10 of them didn't start against Monaghan with this league final and Roscommon match in mind.

PARlance

One change, Tuohy in for McDonagh I reckon.

HBC08

Either Power or Gleason would be behind Byrne,Robbie and Reape.

Its an obvious weakness in their team,I don't see many other weaknesses,I hope we have a plan to test their keeper early.

Exciting reading down through the team. Unlike in recent years, not a weak link on the team based on their current form. In previous years, I would have put a question mark over Stephen Coen. Fionn McDonagh, Conor Loftus. Both they have been playing really well - Fionn sporadically but getting there. I think if he could get a bit of speed, he will be very effective. Coen is in massive form and far more confident. Can't wait for tomorrow. They may not win on the day, but getting a day out in Croke Park for a league final has by far exceeded my expectations for Kevin McStay & Co's first year in charge. David McBrien is quite inexperienced, but I think he is the perfect man to keep Shane Walsh of the ball. Maybe Durcan on Mathew Tierney. Sam Callinan on Finnerty. Other than that, I don't see any significant danger in the Galway team. With him being prone to injury, I don't think they will risk Comer unless absolutely necessary.

Management and the team have raised the bar so high so quick, that it will be a shock to us when we go through a poor patch of results again.

5 in a row for Galway

6-1 up and Mayo switch off,

Inability of putting the foot down when in the driving seat has been a major problem for decades.

Sorry , 4 in a row, but 25 minutes without scoring is a worrying trend that needs to be eradicated

Now we've popped off 2 on the bounce , brilliant from reape.

Reaper lucky to have remained on the field. Could have been considered dangerous play. He did not go for the ball

Cartman78

Who went off at half time for McLaughlin?

Football collision. Yellow at worst

Squatman

Doesn't look great at this point. I'd have Aiden in the square a bit more. Keeping Galway way back, and not tracking back to the halfway line.

crusd

Should have been black for Walsh I think

Loafing Oaf

Reape saves the day again. Not Comer's best goal effort though in truth...

irishgeo

We are throwing it away with sloppy passing.

Cartman78

Gone very loose in the last 10-15 mins...so many attacks butchered.

Be-Jaysus

Well done Mayo.

The better team ,

Blackjack

Job done. Played poorly but you can only beat whats in front of you. To be fair Reape was great and prevented them from scoring the goals they kept looking for.

Only the league but important to keep our unbeaten record against Galway in Croker.

Paddy Durcan kept Comer in his pocket well too.

I’ll be interested to hear what Joyce has to say. I have ultimate respect for him as a player as he was outstanding, but he can come across as an awful whinger when on the receiving end of a defeat.

PARlance

Great to get the win but what a terrible game. Galway are poor and we were sloppy.

PARlance

Joyce won't be starring in any Island's Edge adverts anytime soon.

Blackjack

Yeah it was a poor contest.
