Replying To letsgetgoing:  "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.

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 !

Replying To Dazzler30:  "Congrats to Ronan Wallace great captain and leader led by example all year. Was always going to be a toss up between him and Wittaker to get one but isnt that a great complaint to have that nobody would of forseen this time 12 months ago.

interested to hear peoples starting championship Westmeath team no injuries just the best 15 and 5 subs that in the county now its the most exciting year coming for a long time and we may not even be in sam maguire but the crowds will be out im sure more than ever."
Well done to Ronan Wallace! Hard luck to the other three lads as well. It's a massive achievement just to be nominated for an All Star. That said, I did think Wallace deserved it if only one was going to be selected.

Looking in to next season as mentioned its the most exciting year we have had in a long time to long forward too. I know we are a still division 3 team and are not going to be in the All Ireland unless we reach Leinster final but I beleive we have top 8 panel in the country.

55 players named here. Some players might not make themselves available but in my opinion this is the best 55 players in the county by position. Try picking a 26 man panel if everyone was fit would be very hard for McHugh!
Have I missed anyone? I would like to hear everyones opinion.

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.

Surely Charlie McMorrow deserved an All star before Jarly Burns!

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.

Replying To Claretandblue:  "Maybe but Dublin never getting 2 All Stars in a year they played poorly on at least 2 occasions. If McMorrow got wing back then Oisin Conaty probably get wing forward ahead of NS."
Kerry played poorly on at least two occasions, as did Mayo. It was a very even year overall, with no team consistently good. Dublin were extremely unlucky not be in the final. They outplayed Kerry in their semi-final.

Replying To peiledoir20:  "To be fair I don't think it was the pressure that beat them in the seniors. They just came up against more battled hardened and experienced teams.

They have a great record at minor and U21 level of late and I'd expect that to continue.

And their time will come at senior level eventually and when it does they'll be hard to stop."
Haha yeah I agree, My last post was more tongue-in-cheek to see if I could get a bit of craic going. The forum is really dead these days.

Four Masters away to Gaoth Dobhair tomorrow. That will be a good test. Gaoth Dobhair under a wee bit of pressure after narrowly losing to Termon.

How long will they get that excuse though? There will always be teams with more experienced players who have gone further in championship. How long does that crop of players go without getting success. They won't beat Naomh Conaill, Eunans, Gaoth dobhair or Glenswilly in the next 3 years and I'll safely say that. They lack physicality and it was badly exposed against St Michael's, they were schooled by Langan mcelhinney and McLaughlin. You can be great footballers at minor and u21 where there's lots of space and allowed to play football, senior is a whole other story
