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.

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.

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.

Replying To combo: "Id agree with this. The GAA should be there to help any members though" They are. Every county has an Infrastructure & Facilities Officer, and part of that role is to help or advise clubs in applying for grants. I know ours in Wexford was very helpful when my own club contacted him.

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

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.

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!
