Swap John Doyle and take out McFadden, he hasn't been All Star good yet.

Midfield I would put Michael Friel (So Far).

5 & 6 I would have Bolton and Brosnan.

Still on the early side to be picking All Stars, as performances in games before August (even September) are rarely worth anything come selection time. Has Michael Murphy really done enough to be considered? He has scored very little from play. I would have Ryan McMenamin in the corner too and Philip Jordan at 7.

Jinxy · July 19, 2011, 04:16:30 PM

Shane McAnarney has been the best centre back in the championship and Kevin Reilly was the best full back.

Jinxy · July 19, 2011, 04:20:30 PM

Seamus Kenny should be on it too.

BerfArmagh · July 19, 2011, 04:29:08 PM

Jamie Clarke should be in there

Jinxy · July 19, 2011, 04:31:39 PM

Banty should be the manager.

DuffleKing · July 19, 2011, 04:35:17 PM

Wexford full back the best I've seen this year and donegal nbr 5 the best wing back I've seen. Would endorse the mention of friel also

Under no circumstances should anyone look west.

AZOffaly · July 19, 2011, 04:48:39 PM

What All Stars are out west so far Muppet? In fairness the games out there have been ruined by the conditions in a lot of cases, so it's hard to make a case for anybody thus far. I'm sure there'll be a few from now on.

Mick Foley is playing well at full back for Kildare. McGrillen is a dark horse in the corner too. It is too early though. It'll be the same story. 13 All Stars at least will be decided from August Bank Holiday Weekend onwards.

ONeill · July 19, 2011, 04:50:50 PM

Canavan's punditry surely drags him into the reckoning.

DuffleKing · July 19, 2011, 04:59:57 PM

Fair play to you muppet - saying out loud what we're all thinking

ross4life · July 19, 2011, 05:05:02 PM

Last year we won Connacht & got no All-Stars this year Mayo will get about 10.

thejuice · July 19, 2011, 05:19:12 PM

Graham Geraghty has to get one.
