Congratulations to Stephen O Hanlon who fully deserves his all star for some outstanding performances this year

Armagh and Westmeath did not manage to get into the All Ireland Quarter finals this year but still managed to get an All Star. After the year that Diarmuid Murtagh had this year in both the National League and championship I think he was very unlucky not to get an All Star.

Well done to all the winners.

Couple of players that got the All Star are probably fortunate (Burns, Wallace) but I don't think we can say Diarmuid deserves to get in ahead of Daragh Beirne, Kobe McDonald or Clifford in the full forward line.

Diarmuid had a great year and if we make a quarter final after winning Connaught, he probably gets in. But in general, the full forward line will usually represent the 2 teams that make the All Ireland final. If we win one of those knockout games, he gets another game in a quarter final and then his scoring numbers are even higher.

Deserved the nomination but just pipped by the Kerry and Mayo full forward line which was inevitable.

I definitely agree with your sentiment but Diarmuid had a few things running against him, the biggest is the weight attached to those who make the latter stages and add to that the amount of high quality forwards now on show with the new rules so the competition for those slots, especially the front line, is huge. No Armagh or Westmeath forward will make it into that top 6 of the pitch (as good as Conaty is) and we just didn't have anyone who did enough to get nominated for the back 6. There wasn't even room for Paudi Clifford. Disappointing to be the only provincial winner with no All Star and bet better opposition than Westmeath to win that provincial. We needed to win one of those All Ireland series games for Diarmuid to have a realistic chance unfortunately.

Congrats to our six all stars winners. Two great interviews with Andy Moran and Jack Carney were released this week. What grounded and articulate men they are. Anyone thinking Mayo will be happy with one All Ireland and disappear off into the sunset are severely mistaken. Up Mayo !

Great to see the spread of counties represented. Thought Whittaker was better than Wallace of Westmeaths 2 wingbacks this year. He was one of the best Footballers I saw play all year. Jarly Burns an interesting selection, great player ok but better last year. Good to see Niall Scully get one, really underrated Footballer. O'Hanlon capping a great season with an All Star is good to see too!

There will always be some gripes and people will often complain about who should be in, without saying who should be left out in their place.
However, nothing against Jarly Óg, but I was surprised he got an award. I can't say he stood out massively and Armagh were dumped out of the championship quite early. I thought McMorrow had a better and more impactful year.
Paudie is also unlucky, but with O'Donoghue moved out to centre forward as both of Mayo's young guns deservedly got awards inside, it left limited room.

Surely Charlie McMorrow deserved an All star before Jarly Burns!

Yes Armagh and Westmeath winning All Stars puts to bed once again that the view a team needs reach the All-Ireland Quarter-final at least to win one.

Armagh like ourselves had two games and two defeats after winning their provincial championship. Beaten by Louth and hammered by Kerry. They had a worse Division 1 campaign than us including a loss to us.

Westmeath after their Leinster success. Beat Cavan after extra-time and lost to Galway and Monaghan. League campaign didn't get out of Division 3.

I agree Diarmuid very unlucky hasn't been 6 better forwards than him over the year ln eague and championship IMO. Kobe McDonald selected in the full forward line played further out he should be named instead of Scully,O Hanlon in the half forward line with Diarmuid at 15.

We'll just have to console ourselves by looking at the 3 Connacht football cups.

Replying To Monaghanmad123:  "12 in senior
10 in intermediate
9 in junior (including Truagh C's)

The county board don't want to get rid of the group stage championship because it allows them to get more cash (affiliation fees) off clubs. Most players I have spoken to in my own club would prefer a change back to the old style format (or something similar) not having to play 4/5 championship games before knockout"
a double league or what but championship should not be a league also. a championship should be backdoor and KO. you lose twice your championship is over. lack of competitiveness is hurting our county team. LOOK AT THOSE SCENES IN TYRONE LAST WEEK. Dont think we are ready for the tyrone model of straight KO just yet

Those scenes in Tyrone were because it was a final and a player kicked a two pointer at the end to win by a point, winning the club's first senior title in their almost 100 year history. Sure every championship is straight knockout from the quarter final on, so all finals are in the same boat. We had an epic finish to our own senior final last Sunday. Nobody was thinking about the group stage at that point.
