By your reckoning we should definitely get 2 All Stars for making the last 12 of the championship? Would the other 11 counties not feel similarly?? Four nominations would be fantastic, can't see us getting more than one and one would be brilliant, there's a lot of football to be played yet

Not all 11 won 5 straight championship games or a provincial title. I don't think there's any way we get 2, but narratives play a big part in these things and our story will get us 1. I'd vote for Whittaker but I think Wallace will get it. Both very deserving

Agree completely. Some are looking at this through Maroon tinted glasses which is only natural given our exit is still quite fresh. We'll do well to get 1 all star (Brandon Kelly has the best chance). Wallace and Whitaker nominations but i reckon that will be it. You really need to be starring from quarter final onwards to make an impression for All Star awards and in the end the judging panel may decide to give one to the likes of Westmeath to acknowledge the year we have had.

Agree narrative plays a huge role Louth had the same season last year and got 3 nominations and 1 all star so I'd imagine it will be something similar for us

You obviously don't understand what an all star is Whittaker came off in at least 3 or 4 games. Wallace played great., but not even close to be an all star. Brandon Kelly is miles the front runner. You do realise he is top scorer in Ireland from play. Unfortunately we're out. So that won't continue. Joeynyc (Westmeath) - Posts: 25 - 25/06/2026 13:43:58 2681856 Link 0 |
