Quote from: galwayman on July 16, 2024, 08:23:19 AMFor us - McGrath and McHugh are nailed on. For the rest - the final will dictate a lot.
For Armagh Turbitt looks to have one in the bag already also. He should get one even if were to have a poor final he's been exceptional
Paul Conroy would be another nailed on player for Galway, at 35 he's having his best year in the Galway jersey 2-13 scored from midfield only Shane Walsh and Rob Finnerty has scored more

Langan is in with a shout from Donegal and for me if Grimley had a big final he could get one in midfield as well.

Niall Grimley
Robert Finnerty
Rian O'Neill
Conor Turbitt
Shane McGuigan
Oisin Gallen
Darragh Canavan

Four Armagh
Four Galway
Three Donegal
Two Tyrone
One Derry
One Kerry

Compare that with the Sunday game team:

Blaine Hughes
Johnny McGrath
Aaron McKay
Barry McCambridge
Dylan McHugh
Aidan Forker
Peadar Mogan
Paul Conroy
Ben Crealey
John Maher
Rian O'Neill

TSG Allstars/Team of the Year are always reflective of the game earlier that day.

Same as the hurling.

He had a better year for sure and deserves to be an all star in front of Morgan

Probably not but you don't win all stars unless you get to a qf

I would disagree on that one - Morgan has had his best year yet with Tyrone but he isn't getting an all star. Maybe if Tyrone got to a QF or SF he would be in the conversation. I would be very surprised if Hughes didn't win the All Star.

Thought mcguigan had a poor enough year compared to the last few years no way should he get an all star.

He was the best player on the pitch in the qf v Kerry. Thought he played well v Galway and Mayo too. Unsurprisingly had no impact in the games we were hammered in v Armagh and Donegal. His worst game in memory was v Westmeath, never seen his shooting as poor. Had a brilliant league and was top scorer, though I know that doesn't hold much weight in all star conversations.

I agree he won't get an all star but I don't think he had a poor year.

as good a player as o Sullivan is does he really deserve an all star?He butchered a goal chance that probably knocks Armagh out while McKay solid all year and brings the massive score in all Ireland final.

Morgan and Canavan were exceptional but ure right, they didn't hit in the later challenges those other players faced.
