All-Stars 2023

[lenny]

I'm going to guess

Stephen Cluxton (Dublin)
Gareth Mckinless (Derry) Michael Fitzsimons (Dublin) Graham O'Sullivan (Kerry)
Gavin White (Kerry) James McCarthy (Dublin) Conor McCarthy (Monaghan)
Diarmuid O'Connor (Kerry) Brian Fenton (Dublin)
Paul Mannion (Dublin) Con O'Callaghan (Dublin) Sean O'Shea (Kerry)
Shane McGuigan (Derry) David Clifford (Kerry) Colm Basquel (Dublin)


Dublin 7
Kerry 5
Derry 2
Monaghan 1

It's a complete joke process if conor mccluskey doesn't get one. Look how quiet paudie clifford was v derry compared to the final today. He's marked every forward out of it he's been up against plus he's contributed to so many of Derrys attacks. For me him and Rogers are 2 shoe ins for Derry. If we get 3 Mcguigan should be chosen.

Not a bad team.

[Derryman forever]

If going on the standard principle** that you're only as good as your last game, we are looking at:

Ryan or Cluxton

G O'Sullivan
M Fitzsimmons
Open. Maybe Eoghan McEvoy if Derry don't get anyone further up the field. Maybe Davy Byrne.

G White
Open. Could be Foley, Gannon, James McCarthy **, Conor McCarthy
K O'Connell

B Rogers
B Howard

C Kilkenny
S O'Shea
Open. They might shove Howard in here and give Fenton one. Could be Paudie Clifford. Mad bastards might try to get Conor McManus one.

P Mannion
D Clifford
S McGuigan

** the standard principle is ignored for legendary players who contribute to their side getting to a final, no matter what they do in the final. So James McCarthy is a cert.

Looking back through this, it's not really been a season of high calibre individual performances. I'd guess McCarthy or Clifford were the shoo ins for POTY (depending on the match outcome) until 2 hours ago. Now I don't know.

Mc carthy for player of the year?
I could not agree.

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Rogers and McGuigan are absolute certainties.

McCloskey and McKinless also more than decent shouts.

Sort the rest out among less worthy options.

McCarthy and Clifford have both played themselves out of at least POTY.

[Captain Obvious]

Rogers and McGuigan are absolute certainties.

McCloskey and McKinless also more than decent shouts.

McCarthy and Clifford have both played themselves out of at least POTY.

Who else was in the running? one of them should still win that award.

Could Cluxton get it? In the absence of anyone else from the two finalists really putting their hand up.

Don't see Cluxton getting an All-Star so don't thing he'll get POTY.

Clifford poor in QF & Final and still POTY?

Neither, I would say, maybe Fenton, who has showed up when the moment demanded it?

[Wildweasel74]

I have actually Rodgers and, McCarthy at Midfield

[Wildweasel74]

Fenton hasn't been great in alot of games this year, McCarthy been the better of the pair. I have, McCloskey in front of  O'Sullivan in the corner. Still think Clifford player of the year. Had Kerry won and him still been as poor the day, he still have got it.

The men McCluskey marked in the semi finals of the past 2 years didn't get a kick(Walsh and Paudie C), both of them went on to have very good finals, shows the level this lad is at. Doesn't have the media profile though so he prob won't get one.

Brenda's Rogers has to be in the running.
Shane mcguigan top scorer in the championship too.

I don't think POTY has ever come from a semi finalist. Never going to happen unfortunately.
