apart from teams in final the only All Stars will be from Provincial Champions semi final's and outside chance League Final , so looks like one Donegal and maybe one Roscommon with one for Tyrone and maybe 2 for Mayo. culmore (None) - Posts: 1398 - 12/09/2019 14:45:20 2234761 Link
Replying To boman11: "Murphy has had a colossal year but have donegal? I know I know it's in an individual award but unfortunately it won't be decided that way, normally your county has to do pretty well aswell which I disagree with as it should just he on individual perofmaces alone. Can't see too many bar Murphy Mcshane Boyle and Durcan (the main choices for me outside the final) maybe one or two more and possibly get Boyle out of there" Yeah I know what you're saying but the fact is that All Stars are meant to represent individual brilliance. Murphy has checked that box and more this year. Howard has been fantastic as well don't get me wrong but is undeniably helped by the fact that Dublin have gotten to the AI final again. If we swapped the players for instance, do you think Brian Howard would have done the same job as Murphy did this year for Donegal? Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9116 - 12/09/2019 14:57:03 2234768 Link

Roscommon wont get one and we didnt in 2010 and 2016 when we won Connaght. I think they will only come from the four semi finalist. Murphy had good year for Donegal but they went out too early and he hadnt his best game against Mayo. Moran and Fenton are certs for midfield. McShane as top scorer and with Tyrone getting to a semi should be a cert also and the remaining 5 positions will go to Dublin and Kerry players sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 12/09/2019 16:19:34 2234798 Link

I would be very surprised if the top 8 players weren't exactly as follows: 8. Fenton 9. Moran 10. O'Brien 11. O'Shea 12. Howard 13. Clifford 14. McShane 15.

Replying To boman11: "Mannion?" Man of match on Saturday and he could get POTY! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 12/09/2019 22:28:35 2234896 Link
Replying To Lockjaw: "Howard is a brilliant player for sure and another impressive display in the replay will seal it for him in all likelihood. But with my Donegal hat on, I think Murphy would be most unfortunate to miss out. He has had yet another colossal year for us. Time will tell." The replay could either allow more Dublin or Kerry players to get in or less! Its a funny one. If Mannion doesnt score he could lose out although I dont think he should for a second. Similar to Howard (if he plays poorly) who I'd have all day long. I thought Kilkenny had his best 15 mins in a Dublin jersey the last day at the end and dragged them back into the game. If he gets man of match the next day then he gets in as well. That's just the way it works. Donaghy right got one a few years ago for a couple of games as without him they wouldn't have turned their year around. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 12/09/2019 22:35:09 2234897 Link

All stars basically start from the semi final and in a rare case you might have an outlier the likes of a murphy but i dont think you will this year.

Well if they start from the semi would Clifford not be ahead of McShane then? TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7885 - 13/09/2019 10:12:32 2234957 Link
Thinking on it some more I think Clifford might get YPOTY but miss out on a All-Star strange as that might sound. Mannion to take his place. But what happens if Clifford scores 1-5 tomorrow and Kerry win the final? He'll definitely get an All Star if that's the case. Dublin fans will know better than me. Has Mannion been better than Con?

Not much between Con and Mannion IMO but I think Mannion's work rate when tracking back has been exceptional and he has scored some vital wonder points. Neither particularly good the last day so huge games required tomorrow. Kerry had the D well locked down. But get that ball into Con's hands and things happen. He's unstoppable in that inside forward line. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 13/09/2019 10:58:22 2234972 Link

Replying To Tarismelting22: "No id have mcshane" On your logic they both scored the same in the semi final, Clifford despite early misses destroyed his man. If he has a good game tomorrow then how can you have McShane ahead of him, again using your criteria that from semi final on. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7885 - 13/09/2019 12:06:45 2234984 Link
To clarify I meant he roasted Cooper. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7885 - 13/09/2019 13:01:18 2234998 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "No Mannion?" Maybe Mannion for O'Callaghan and Murphy for Howard. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 13/09/2019 16:37:28 2235057 Link
I'm going to go for Rock to get man of match and him and Howard getting all stars and Howard getting nominated for player of the year! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 14/09/2019 00:32:08 2235137 Link
Still haven't seen anyone knocking donal keoghan off his absolutely deserved all star. Let's hope that continues for another 70+ minutes royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 14/09/2019 15:52:27 2235207 Link
