Antrim all stars shortlist released. I know the funding maybe isnt there for it but id like to see one for each grade. Seann Elliot up against C Johnston. Both deserve one. As do D Smyth and N Swann at 6

Agree with that, some positional changes to suit some but to have both those lads at 10. isn't right.

Glenravel have four and portglenone have four

Has to be difficult to get the blend right of all three grades. Plus, positions in football are outdated.

It's a nonsense and really is a waste of time.

Neither of those two at six are fit to lace Paul McCann's boots. Anyone who can't see how integral he is to how Cargin play really shouldn't have a vote.

Shifting players like Conal Cunning around into a corner forward slot  who get plenty of airtime just so he gets an award farcical and disrespectful to any genuine corner forwards who lined out in intermediate and junior grade.

Definitely agree Oso....votes do not matter in this...
A few individuals select the line up, and they will determine the winners.

its not about who is the better play though. We're not picking a county team. Who contributes more for their team that particular year. But it would be easier to pick at each individual grade. But here its better having it than not having it so fair play to the devenish

UppaSaffs

Really is no such thing as your classic corner forward nowadays anyway. Likes of Seaan Elliott would have been 15 years ago or less, now he's a power runner from deep. Deep laying attacker.
Impossible job to narrow it down over three grades. Always going to be someone left out.
It's better than nothing at all though!

Have we any idea who it is that selects the nominees?

Theres a panel. Think likes of mctaggart on it. Boys that would attend a lot of games

Unless Cushendall have started playing Gaelic, and junior/Intermediate ? Forget about it
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come
