Its really all political in the sense that they will give the counties a certain allocation. Dublin and Kerry will get 9/10 between them, Donegal, Roscommon, Meath, Mayo and Tyrone probably get 1 each. Donegal will more than likely get 1 all star for winning Ulster but I am not sure who that will be. Michael Murphy has been our best player this year but Patton, McMenamin and Ryan McHugh could be in with a shout. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1873 - 16/08/2019 12:23:15 2226366 Link 0 |
McShane was poor against Donegal, hardly a sniff. Excelled in a qualifier run and a weaker super 8 group. Murphy had his hand up in every game. Both are excellent but Murphy was more influential. I can't argue with your other picks.

I think he needs to have a very big final. He was very poor v Cork in Munster and only okay v Clare. Had a brilliant game v Mayo, missed the Donegal game, done okay v Meath and was good v Tyrone. No banker by any means so far.

Moran over Murphy for me and i cant see Keoghan getting one for Meath. he had a very good year but Meath beat no one of any quaility to get to super 8s and were bet in all three of thos games. If Keoghan gets one Cox should get one and i dont think he will or should sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 16/08/2019 15:41:12 2226454 Link 2 |
Not the way all-stars works to be fair. An individual can stand out regardless of how his team does. Forwards All stars will be strongest line this year and Cox will likely miss out because of that. Its a pity Niall Daly is getting overlooked, our most consistent performer all year. I think we deserve at least 6 nominations namely C Cox,E Smith,C Hussey,D Murray,R Daly and N Daly but we'll win no all star. To be honest i preferred the way All-stars use to be picked, e.g how you did in the NFL and even club level was taken into account nowadays the majority of the All stars goes to the two finalists.

Keoghan isn't getting an All Star. Just get used to the idea. He'll get Meath's only nomination. If Meath want All Stars then everyone, including Keoghan needs to play the full 70.

The question is will All Star selectors follow the unwritten rule that Provincial winners must get at least one. Ryan McHugh was shoehorned last year, leading to the farcical selection of Brian Howard at midfield. Now before all Dublin fans choke on their coddle, Howard deserved his award but should have been at half forward. FootblockREF (Monaghan) - Posts: 563 - 16/08/2019 17:14:06 2226507 Link 0 |
Donegal aren't getting 2. Won Ulster and failed to qualify for semis last year = 1 All Star. Lather, Rinse, Repeat for this year.

If Michael Murphy doesn't get an All Star they should f in nisha the All Stars. Even against us, not to his massive very high standards, he never hid, a mark of the man. Fenton was very good against us last summer but rarely tested in this years championship, but definitely a class act. Moran also classy but on this year's championship I'd have Murphy as first pick for midfield. Probably will end up with Fenton and Moran in midfield and Murphy in the forwards.

There are several quality forwards in the country but I don't think Conor Cox is as far away as you say.Who are your top ten forwards in the country.?

Conor Cox has been one of the top 10 forwards in country this year and we won no All star in 2010, or 2017 when we won Connacht so i don't where this unwritten rule theory comes from?

He would. And in fairness that's no disrespect to any player from that time, the job he done man marking this year was phenomenal, even on Kilkenny, one of the best half forwards of all time.

Well that's total bs. Keoghan always has in every game played for 70 mins. See you only going by the results of the games. Not the actual performances , thankfully those who are over the all stars aren't as simplistic. He will get a all star. If he doesn't like Graham Reilly in 10 it will be a absolute disgrace

I agree, Donegal wont get 2 all stars. They will get 1 like last year. Probably be Murphy who gets it but the other lads I mentioned might have a chance if Murphy doesnt get one.
