All-Stars 2024

[Truthsayer]

Derry, the league champions, the only quarter finalists without a nomination.

As was stated at the time, despite all the hypbole about Harte and Derry, come end of year no-one cares who won the league.

A qf seemed to be enough for 7 other counties to get nominations. It's not a big issue as I doubt anyone outside the semi will win an all star but I thought McGuigan should get a nomination. Top scorer in the league, decent games v Mayo and Galway and easily the best player on the pitch in the QF v Kerry.

Fair enough... the league irrelevant tho.

Derry, the league champions, the only quarter finalists without a nomination.

By my count there are 5 nominees from counties that didn't even make the QFs, plus 9 from beaten QFs.

From a Derry perspective I thought Baker might have been in with a shout. But I'd doubt if any of the 14 (total) from above will be close to getting an All-Star.

Surprised that Campbell wasn't nominated. Think Conaty is an easy winner of YPOTY, and two nominees from Galway might pave the way for McCambridge to pick up POTY.

I didnt expect him to make the 15 but not to be included in the nominations is a very poor omission IMO.

[Captain Obvious]

Thought Stefan Campbell done enough to get a nomination but season feels like that long ago I can think of anyone else who should have made the cut.

Total toss up between Crealey and Grimley, thought both were excellent this year, would be great for Niall after all he's been through.

[armaghniac]

Great year for Barry McCambridge, how many were tipping him for an Allstar earlier in the year, never mind POTY?

I would expect Gallen and Mulroy to get one.

I don't see any way Mogan or Mulroy get all stars for 2024.

McCole a much stronger Donegal candidate in defence and there are several better cases in attack than Mulroy.

Mogan was brilliant for Donegal this year. He was on the Sunday Game team of the year so I'd say he has a very good chance. The team picked by Captain Obvious won't be far away.

[Armagh18]

Hughes
McCambridge McKay McGrath
McHugh Forker Mogan
Conroy Crealey
Maher Rian Conaty
Turbo Gallen Mulroy?

Wasn't a vintage year for inside forwards and tbh Grugan has as good a chance as Gallen or Mulroy for me. Toss up with Crealey and Grimley, tbh I would have Conaty inside and Joe McElroy wing forward but he somehow wasn't nominated

Don't think there was as it was far from a vintage year for forwards with defenders and midfielders standing out more.

I'll be surprised if Louth reaching their first ever quarter final and running Dublin close don't win at at least one All Star and Mulroy was one of their stand out players

[bennydorano]

My tuppence after watching the semis again

1. Blaine Hughes (Armagh) - every keeper made a howler bar him

2.Johnny McGrath (Galway)
3. McKay (Armagh)
4. Forker - to get him in somewhere & McCambridge misses out to get POTY

5.Dylan McHugh (Galway)
6.Silke (Galway)
7.Mogan (Donegal)

8. Paul Conroy (Galway)
9. Langan (Donegal)

10. Rian O'Neill (Armagh)
11. John Maher (Galway)
12. N Grimley (Armagh) - Conaty YPOTY

13.Oisin Gallen (Donegal) 
14. Mulroy or Louth MFer
15. Conor Turbitt (Armagh)

reckon Louth will defo get one

That was my opinion on the 17th August, today I'd say Paul Conroy is a cert for POTY and its not undeserved. 3 Donegal seems excessive to me today when Kerry have none in my team.

[An Watcher]

No disrespect to Conor Turbitt but really, an All star year!  Maybe more to do with the lack of forwards in the game reserve days that an above average one gers an all star

[Armagh18]

No disrespect to Conor Turbitt but really, an All star year!  Maybe more to do with the lack of forwards in the game reserve days that an above average one gers an all star

Thought he was very good most of the year bar the final, the run in extra time for the fisted point against Kerry was unreal.

[David McKeown]

No disrespect to Conor Turbitt but really, an All star year!  Maybe more to do with the lack of forwards in the game reserve days that an above average one gers an all star

Top scorer from play in the All Ireland series and being talked about as a POTY contender before a quiet final. I felt his exclusion from the POTY short list is a bigger surprise than his inclusion in the All Star nomination list. That said it was very hard to separate 5 or 6 POTY candidates for me with no clear stand out

Yeah pre final i would have had him in the poty conversation with the 3 who were nominated plus Rian. Crealey and Grimley both up there as well
