All-Stars 2024

[Estimator]

With two teams remaining we can have a look at the certs and the non-runners.

Quarter-Finalists
Derry, Roscommon, Dublin and Louth will get a handful of nominations, but I can't see anyone from those counties getting an All-Star.. Maybe one for Mulroy at a push.

Semi-Finalists
Kerry will also struggle to pick up the individual awards. O'Beaglaioch, O'Sullivan and P Clifford are probably the best placed to do so, just about. But no other stand out performers this year.

Donegal have a few that are thereabouts- Gallen, Mogan, McHugh and Langan maybe played himself into one yesterday.

Finalists
For Galway the like of Finnerty, Maher, Conroy, Silke and McHugh are probably out in front.

For Armagh Hughes, McCambridge, Grimley, O'Neill, Grugan and Turbitt with Conaty picking up the YPOTY.

The final will ultimately decide the outcomes for a few of those players.


Edit to correct the year...

[Armagh18]

Mad to think Niall Grimleys first game all year was in Derry and he's getting all star shouts. Brilliant.


Think Blaine is nailed on as is Turbo and McCambridge. If Rian puts in another Croker performance he coule get POTY.

[PMG1]

Would think McCole for Donegal would be in with a very good shout, not McHugh tough. Silke for Galway and Dylan McHugh gotta be certs. McCambridge for Armagh a definite. I know they weren't involved in the latter stages but Niall Morgan head and shoulders the standout for No. 1, all others have made mistakes along the way

I would agree with Morgan.
But i suspect he will be overlooked

[AustinPowers]

This is 2024

[Rossfan]

Sam Mulroy probably the only Leinster player to get one.
The other 14 between the 4 Semi Finalists.

For us Brian Stack will get a nomination

Morgan has been the best keeper in Ireland this year by a fair stretch imo but unfortunately the way all stars work he won't get one.

If Walsh has another final like he did 2 years ago he could well get player of the year but Dylan McHugh has been superb this year for Galway. A bit of an old school half back that can defend and attack.

[J70]

For Donegal, I think nominations for Mogan, McCole, Gallen, Langan, McHugh and maybe one of the St Eunans contingent (O'Donnell brothers, Moore and Patton). Jason McGee was looking likely earlier, but his injury might have knocked him out of the running.

Awards all depends on what's left after Armagh and Galway are awarded their allocations. Mogan and McCole and possibly Gallen most likely I'd say. Especially as Kerry may not feature too heavily given their relatively disappointing year.

It would be some year for the St Nauls club if both McCole and Mogan got it. Before they came along, the club had never even had a consistent starting player at county senior level in the time since Donegal started winning Ulsters.

Blaine Hughes has been super for us imo.

Canavan will get nominated will he?

Louth reaching a first ever Quarter final and competitive in every game I'll be surprised if they don't win at least one All Star. Mulroy or Lennon best placed to win one.

One Galway player you left out is Johnny McGrath. Good final for McDaid will likely win him one also. One for Armagh not named Aidan Forker, seasoned campaigner and has led by example.

[trileacman]

Morgan really deserves one. Has been head and shoulders above the 8 keepers in the qfs in kick outs and outfield play.

[Armagh18]

Surely the GAA won't find a way to give Clifford one?

Who are we thinking for footballer of the year? From an Armagh pov Turbo and McCambridge have been unreal, a big final from Rian would have him in contention too.

Conaty could be in with a shout of young player of the year although he hadn't his best day on Saturday.

[Rossfan]

There will be 1 Dublin for winning Leinster, 1 Kerry for winning Munster, 1 Donegal for reaching Semi, 11 AI Finalists with probably Mulroy being this year's Enda Smith type outlier.

[David McKeown]

Morgan really deserves one. Has been head and shoulders above the 8 keepers in the qfs in kick outs and outfield play.

Certainly in out field play but in terms of kick outs, Hughes accuracy and nous has been instrumental for Armagh. Don't see Morgan ahead on this metric

A good player having a great season but I thought he had a nightmare on Saturday. Clifford did not do enough to justify an all star, never thought I would be saying that in the 2020's
