Where to now for Meath?

It's an interesting teaser given the amount of question marks hanging over the futures of so many key members of both the team and backroom. What's certain is that Vikki Wall and Orlagh Lally will head away in the coming days to begin their exciting new careers in the AFLW, with North Melbourne and Fremantle respectively. Manager Eamonn Murray stated ahead of the final that 2021 Footballer of the Year nominee Emma Troy, who delivered another huge final performance, is due to head away for an extended travel break too.
