All Stars 2022

[Rossfan]

This is the 3rd year in a row, all the all-stars went to just the 4 semi-finalists

The Allstars are a formula. If the winners plus runners up get a total of less than 10 all stars there may be a quarter final all star.
This year winner plus runners up got 12

Correct Seaf.
Nice for the individuals who get them but the whole thing is not worth taking seriously.

I was listening to Off the Ball on the hurling all stars. Daithi Burke had a good year but Galway didn't win Leinster and they weren't in the all Ireland final so he won't get an all Star.
The rules are clear.
All of the fuball winners won a provincial title...

Derry will get 2

McKaigue and Glass

Whether they are the most deserving 2, is another debate altogether

Ahem

Spot on. Would say McKaigue direct teammate McCloskey was more influential during the year. Can't begrudge McKaigue either as his role was man marking, leadership and he carried that out well during the year

Look at the quality of players McKaigue marked throughout the year and how he did against them

McCloskey was very effective going forward thought out and kept Shane Walsh quiet in the semi-final.

What more does Graham O'Sullivan have to do to win an All-star?
Was flawless in every game before the final.
In the final, kept his man completely quiet, scored a point and set up 5 points. All from corner-back.

He along with Tom O'Sullivan were far more deserving of an All Star then Morley who has benefited immensely from not having a direct opponent.

Was McKinless not deserving of one?

[Walter Cronc]

Was McKinless not deserving of one?

No. His performances tailed off after the Monaghan game. Didn't look fully fit from the Ulster final onwards.

I'd agree with this, had a great start but tailed off slightly (don't think he was 100% fit). Would have had Rogers, McCluskey, McKaigue, Glass and McGuigan ahead of him in the pecking order for an All Star. Great to be in the conversation again though.

Morley and Foley should have gotten 1/2 an All-Star each as Foley was full-back and Morley was more 3/4s back than half-back. They worked brilliantly in tandem mind, a worldie from Costello bring the only goal conceded.
That would free up one then for Tom or Graham O'Sullivan who fought their battles on their own and bar Tom in the final, did their job really well and had a great attacking threat as well throughout the year.
