Title: Football All Stars 2019
Post by: Estimator on August 05, 2019, 11:19:47 AM
*Couldn't find a topic for this subject, will delete if there already is one*

Now that we are down to the last 4 teams in the race for the All Ireland title, what are the chances that those already eliminated will pick up All Stars.

Donegal should pick up a few nominations for the likes of Murphy, McHugh, Brennan, McBrearty and Patton. But, despite winning Ulster and only losing one game, they will only pick up a maximum of 2.

Cork, Meath and Roscommon combined might only get a couple between them if that.

From an Ulster perspective the likes of McKiernan (Cavan) and O'Neill (Armagh) could get nominations, but have no chance of the award.

At this stage I'd think the only nailed on All Stars are Jack McCaffrey and David Clifford.

Cathal McShane, Sean O'Shea, Aidan O'Shea, Paul Mannion and Brian Fenton probably only need a 7/10 performance each in their remaining game(s) to book their spots.

Everything else is wide open as we are now at the men vs men stage, and the AI finalists will take 10-12 spots.

I think McShane and McNamee have been Tyrone's standout performers so far. A big performance from Donnelly or Harte one a semi final or potential final should also put them in firm contention.

All stars set up is a joke and a back slapping exercise between the media and a few successful counties. Has there ever been a year when the best 15 in their positions were the actual all star selection or better still has there ever been a year where they git 8 of them right. Some of these media people who make the selection have no idea of what is going on outside of the top few teams.
The original "texaco" all stars way back in the day were away more reflective of the best footballers in the land and there would be a spread of 10 or 12 counties represented.
Now its a pass the biscuits exercise and in my humble opinion these awards carry no weight because they depend on the success of your team more than the personal skills of the player.

All stars are still up for grabs. One good performance or memorable goal (a la Mulligan) or block (Gormley) and you're a good shout for an award.

All stars last year.

Winners Dublin got 7
Runners up Tyrone 2
Beaten semi finalists Monaghan got 3 and Galway 1
Then 1 each for Donegal and Kerry who made their exit at the last 8 stage.

On what basis do Donegal deserve so much more nominations to Roscommon? Both won the same amount of games in this years Championship with Roscommon beating arguably better sides than Donegal,

This nonsense will as usual have around 11 from the AI Finalists and 3 if not 4 from the Semi Finalists.
The other 4 last 8 teams will get a scatter of nominations to make it look good.

Conor Cox will be nominated for sure. Enda Smith probaly too Donal Keoghan and maybe Cillian O Sullivan. Ruari Deane would be thereabouts.

Not sure why murphy or mchugh deserve an all star. They had two great games which was about it. Mchugh was completely missing in the mayo match. I would give murphy one over mchugh if i had to chose between them.

Murphy was outstanding against Tyrone, Cavan, Meath and Kerry (I haven't said Fermanagh because I honestly don't remember). He was the best Donegal player against Mayo and almost single handedly dragged us back into it. It's been arguably his best overall season, dominating games completely at times.

McHugh has had an excellent summer too up until the last game, when he was anonymous.

Murphy will get an All Star. McHugh won't. Neither will any other Donegal players. A few nominations maybe.

Not sure what happened to Brennan. I don't remember him touching the ball against Mayo. He was unstoppable in Ulster, including against Tyrone. Even in the Fermanagh game, when he was well marked and had a quiet match in terms of involvement, he still stepped up and hit three or four from play. Meath marked him well , but he still got a couple of scores. Kerry didn't let him get a shot off, but at least he got on the ball and won a few frees. But against Mayo, it was like he wasn't on the field.

Anyone not picking Fenton for an All Star based on his form this year needs to look again. At the moment He's a contender for POTY and the best midfielder in the country. McCaffrey is nearly nailed on as well

Is this actually a wind up? Cillian Connors? i persume you mean Cillian O Connor, Not a chance does he deserve an All Star on this years form he has only played a hand full of games. If he has an exceptional semi final and Final yeah maybe but not within an asses roar at the minute.
Brendan Harrison got roasted in a good few games in this years championship. Against both Roscommon and Kerry he was taken to the cleaners.

Brian Fenton and Stephen O'Brien are both in the current top 3 for Player of the Year, so should surely be in a potential All-Star XV.
Title: Re: Football All Stars 2019
Post by: imtommygunn on August 06, 2019, 04:16:03 PM
Fenton best midfielder in the country by a long way and to be honest moving towards one of the better ones ever at current rate.

OBrien good call. I don't think he'll get the same space against Tyrone and if they meet Dublin McCaffrey might do him damage too but at present one of the in form players.

Jamie Brennan wouldn't be near it. Poor in the super 8s though fantastic in ulster.

Michael Murphy is the only player outside of the last 4 who will win an award. The rest will be dictated to by results and performances in the last 3 games. A poor performance can equally mean someone who previously looked a shoe in playing their way off the team as was the case with Ryan McHugh last weekend.

I'd agree with that. I'd say Patton is out of the running now for the goalkeeper spot. I'm sure it'll be a toss up between Cluxton and Morgan now.
So, aside from Murphy, I'd say McNamee, McCaffrey, Fenton, O'Brien, McShane, and Clifford are the ones that can play themselves off the team, if they put in an anonymous performance over the next game or two. The rest can be picked up with a couple of good outings.
1. Cluxton / Morgan
2.
3. McNamee
4.
5.
6.
7. McCaffrey
8. Fenton
9.
10. Murphy
11.
12. O'Brien
13. Clifford
14. McShane
15.

Players from the final 8 that has impressed me the most and should be in the running for All star nominations.

Dublin - S Cluxton,J Small,J Mccaffery,B Fenton,C O'Callaghan,P Mannion,K Kilkenny

Kerry -  T O'Sullivan,P Murphy,D Moran,D Clifford,S O'Brien,S O'Shea

Tyrone - Morgan,R McNamee,P Harte,C McShane,Donnelly

Mayo -  Boyle,Durcan,A O'Shea,D Coen

Roscommon - C Cox,N Daly,D Murray

Donegal - Patton,R McHugh,M Murphy

Meath - C McGill,D Keogan,B Menton

Cork - L Connolly,M Collins.

Of course we could have a few players not named there among Kerry,Mayo,Tyrone,Dublin to really stand out in the semi or final and end up winning All stars.

For the lads whose season has come to an end I'd give Keoghan & Murphy All Stars. O'Neill, McGill, Smith, Patton & maybe a couple of others would be well deserving of a nomination and whether it goes any further for them depends on who blows their chances between now and the end!

Counting by county is a very silly measure. It's an individual reward. I have two Meath men included in my nominations which some might complain about but they both deserve it imo.

O'Callaghan deserves to win POTY if it was picked now but really it changes from game to game. Before yesterday I would have said McCaffrey but he was largely anonymous yesterday yet may well go on to have a great final. Clifford could yet go on to dislodge O'Callaghan with 2 big performances today and in a potential final.

Of teams beaten I think only Murphy, McShane and Durcan will get one. Possibly Aidan O'Se also.

Dubs could clean up though if they get 5 in a row with as many as 9/10 awards. Clifford and Stephen O'Brien only certainties for Kerry.

In my opinion, I dont think either Durcan or Murphy will have done enough to warrant All Stars this year - and would expect both to be replaced on the team above by Howard and Kilkenny respectively after the final -  on the assumption that Dublin win.
At the minute Fitzimmons has done more to merit an award than Cooper at corner back.

Given the magnitude of winning 5 in a row, I'd expect Dublin to deservedly pick up 10 or 11 this year.

Definitely both should get nominated. Keoghan a genuine contender, but half back is loaded so he won't get one.

Menton will get nominated too. The media have heard of him and he got a couple of great goals

In my opinion, I dont think either Durcan or Murphy will have done enough to warrant All Stars this year - and would expect both to be replaced on the team above by Howard and Kilkenny respectively after the final -  on the assumption that Dublin win.
At the minute Fitzimmons has done more to merit an award than Cooper at corner back.

Given the magnitude of winning 5 in a row, I'd expect Dublin to deservedly pick up 10 or 11 this year.

Murphy had one of his best ever summers with Donegal which should more than warrant his 3rd All star. On Durcan, here are some stats that was tweeted up about him.

Quote
In his six championship matches this summer Paddy Durcan has marked six players and held five of them scoreless from play, while grabbing 0-8 himself. His last victims: Jack McCaffrey,Ryan McHugh not just Held scoreless but one shot between them.

There is a stat doing the rounds today that Tom O'Sullivan has kept Harte, Cillian O'Sullivan, Jamie Brennan, James Carr and Paul Kerrigan scoreless, while also scoring 1-3 himself.

On another note I'd say McNamee and McShane will get the FB and FF awards.

McNamee and McShane should get two for Tyrone.

Durcan should be a shoe in for Mayo, not sure I can pinpoint another player for them, they had a lot of injuries and while AOS had a few great games he also had a few stinkers - he was terrible against Armagh, destroyed against Kerry and poor enough against Dublin.

Murphy will get one for Donegal, McHugh will probably miss out due to the no show against Mayo but was a cert up until then.

I'd say Kerry/Dublin will probably get 11 between them, I'd imagine 7/4 if it's within 6 points, 8/3 if it's a very comfortable Dublin win.

Keoghan is the only player outside the semi finalists and Donegal that I think would be deserving but I doubt he will get one.

Nominations are balls. It's all to pacify the counties who had a decent enough summer and make them feel like they're valued in this Dublin championship

Dublin will get about  7, Kerry 3, Tyrone/Mayo/Donegal maybe 1/2 each.

Token gesture nominations to Cavan, Roscommon, Cork, Kildare, Meath, Armagh etc, more so as a pat on the shoulder "of course we take an interest in matches before the semis" type of way.

Can't see Cox getting on. I'd say it will be McShane, Clifford and O'Callaghan in the FF line. Murphy and O'Brien in the half forward line with a spot up for grabs, Mannion or O'Callaghan might move out to the half forward line to fit everyone in.

I could be wrong on this but I don't think O'Brien is going to count in the final and this will go against him. Clifford I think will.

I was watching his goal again and the defending was very poor. Two maybe three tyrone men drawn to the ball leaving the space for him to run into right in front of goals. Dublin won't do something like that.

Con's wearing 11 most weeks, so even though he hasn't played half forward that'll be enough for the "selectors" to move him out there.

McShane plus at least 4 from Kerry and Dublin in the forwards (personally I think Mannion, Con, Clifford and O'Brien are almost certs). If performances in the final mean that 5 Dublin/Kerry forwards need to be picked (say massive games from Geaney, Kilkenny or Howard), then could Murphy be moved to midfield at the expense of AOS?

My team:

Patton

McMenamin McNamee T O'Sullivan

McCaffrey Keoghan Durcan

Fenton Moran

Mannion Murphy O'Brien

Clifford McShane O'Callaghan


Dublin will get more than 4 though in reality. Cluxton will likely get one, possibly McCarthy at the expense of the excellent Keoghan and Fitzsimmons, Howard and Kilkenny won't be far away either. Boyle and Cox are two off the top of my head that would be unlucky also. I ended up with only 4 Dublin players and 3 from Donegal for example but just selected who I thought was best in each position, regardless of total numbers for each county. Mayo only had one despite getting to a AISF for example also.

I hope mcshane gets one but he's got tough competition in geaney, clifford, o callaghan, mannion, cillian o'connor. If clifford, o callaghan and mannion all play well in the final they are likely to get the nod. In that case tyrone will likely get a token all star like donnelly or cavanagh.

For me you could blame five or six for that goal. McKernan is in the perfect spot to hold his position but he goes rushing out with Harte to close down Geaney and the space opens up. We had enough bodies back there to ensure there was no goal chance. In any case Geaney looked to have overplayed the ball and was extremely lucky not to be pulled.

McNamee should also have tracked the run. But likewise players should have been smart enough to plug the gap. It's a consistent failing with McKernan, he has cost us at least three goals in Championship since last year's All Ireland final with rushing in on the man at the ball and no regard to the danger behind. He's a great engine and is very tough but he's too raw for this level right now IMO.

Its a role that has changed massively since the introduction of the sweeper. Used to be one of the most important positions on the pitch. Had to be strong, good under the high ball, quick and able to defend from infront with forwards leading both directions. I remember an old (school) manager of mine roaring at the corner backs that they only had to run one way i.e towards the sideline. If a corner forward won a ball inside they were liable to to hooked! ;D

Darren Fay was probably the best I remember watching live. Owens from Fermanagh was excellent over an extended period as well and I think Seamus Moynihan had a couple of outstanding seasons when he didnt play CHB but I would be hard pushed to name many specialist full backs at that level more recently.

The modern game means that the FB is just another defender who's primary aim is to stand the forward up until the blanket arrives and then support the runners out of defense. Interesting that Kerry defense struggled badly against McShane's more traditional Full Forward approach for long periods last week.

They did, Hampsey has been struggling all year with an injury and picked him up, perhaps we should have had Colm Cavanagh pick him up.

Bar Hampsey and McNamee we don't really have many other physical markers and it's something Harte will need to be looking at in the coming weeks at club championship, our other defensive alternatives in the squad like McLaughlin, Rafferty, B Burns and HP McGeary aren't the biggest.

I fee like I'm consistently having to repeat myself.

I have looked at that, countless times including my first contributions after the game I have said we have ourselves to blame, we crumbled in the major part of the game, our misses and mistakes and crucial stages cost us. It's not the first time it has happened and this group have to look at themselves in this regard. Tyrone have themselves to blame in that regard.

There's two independent points here - one how Tyrone managed to throw that game away, covered above.

The second is Maurice Deegan and how he kept Kerry in that match when they were struggling badly. Apparently you feel that because Tyrone made mistakes and wilted near the end that means it should quash any scrutiny over some disgraceful and completely irrational decision making from Deegan that consistently benefitted one side for 70 minutes You seem to be saying that as long as the other side makes some mistakes then it's ok not to look at Deegan.

Kerry made some atrocious errors in the first half, Tyrone went in with a 4 point lead after completely dominating it, the second half started in a similar manner, Tyrone were well on top of it for the first 20 minutes of the first half but the gap had actually narrowed to 2 points rather than extend out further, all down to Maurice Deegan and when Kerry really got on top in the last 15 minutes, Deegan's performance for Kerry did not drop one bit.

It's not sour grapes about the defeat, there's only 2 times in the past 5 campaigns I would have had serious grievances with a refereeing performance in a Tyrone defeat, both Maurice Deegan, both against Kerry and both decisive for Kerry.

The worst refereeing performances we've had this year (prior to Sunday) have been in games we won, I thought we were badly done in both the Cavan and Roscommon games this year, I would have said as much after even though we won comfortably. We were well beaten by Donegal in Ulster this year, I had no real complaints about the referee, Peter Harte got an incorrect black card but it was an isolated mistake which I can appreciate and understand happen in matches.

I agree that deegan is a poor ref. I have some complaints over his handling of our game against mayo but as with that day, Tyrone didn't lose because of him but because of their own short comings.

Tyrone were the better teams for 50+ minutes of that game. Deegan ensured that Kerry stayed in touch in that period.

It's not that hard to grasp.

That does not mean Tyrone didn't not play their own role in losing that game, they were certainly architects for their own downfall but when Kerry were helped out massively by Deegan in their struggles in their first 50 minutes and that was pivotal.

SOS deserves one after Sunday. Was best player in the league this year and had a decent championship up until Sunday where he was exceptional.
McShane
O'Brien
Mannion
COC
Clifford

No chance of Murphy getting for me. Was very good this year but Donegal went out too early and he hadnt his best game against Mayo. Kicked some very bad wides

Current odds with PP would say this is the team:

Cluxton
T O'Sullivan McCaffrey Durcan
McCarthy Fitzsimons Cooper/Boyle
Fenton Moran
McShane Clifford Callaghan
O'Brien Mannion Murphy

Dublin 7.5, Kerry 4, Mayo 1.5, Tyrone 1, Donegal 1

Obviously those odds will change after the replay but the ones in bold are nailed on imo. If Murphy misses out in the forwards, I presume McHugh or McMenamin (14/1) would get one for Donegal instead.

Sean O'Shea and Dean Rock have done their chances no harm with both scoring 0-10 in the final last Sunday, as said already Murphy is one forward that could miss out now.  Cooper has damaged his chance and more so if Jim Gavin decides to drop him for the replay.

All Stars always seems too coloured by which teams get to the final.

Probably need a better system of analysis - the Fink Tank and others used to do a soccer appraisal on players based on an analysis of every meaningful contribution they made over the course of the season.

The current All Stars selection punishes good players from the weaker counties!

Don't understand Cooper odds at all. Has missed a large part of the season through injury, is already past his best, was in all sorts of difficulty before getting sent off on Sunday. If he hadn't already credit built up from previous seasons he would be dropped from the Dublin team for the replay.

over the years, the all Ireland winners, sometimes very ordinary teams, have dominated the all stars, winning a disproportionate 8 to 10 gongs.
this Dublin team winning a 5th in a row is unique and I think they will deserve at least 8 or 9 of the all stars.

contrasting versus the sunday game pick, I am certain James McCarthy will be chosen instead of Boyle in the backs.

I also fancy, 4 Dubs namely, Con O Call, Paul Mannion, Ciaran Kilkenny and Brian Howard will be selected in the forwards. 

To omit Kilkenny or Mannion after yesterday would be barmy. 
With Sean O Shea certain of another place in the forwards, that will leave the last position between Michael Murphy, McShane and Clifford.

Don't  be surprised if McShane does not make the cut, after all, he was on a team which won no silverware and he also buckled, missing some handy frees when that semi final was in the melting pot.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't win one. All Stars are meant to be individual awards and McShane has been one of the top six forwards this year.

He scored 0-7 in the AI semi final which was a more than decent return.

McShane is the top scorer in Championship this year and almost a one man band for a team that made the All Ireland semis. McNamee is the only other Tyrone player with a shout of one, I would say that Durcan will get one for Mayo and Murphy should get one for Donegal.

Other than that it will be Dublin and Kerry.

He played most of his football around the half forward line this year.

Has to be Moran and Fenton at midfield not even a contest. Only non finalist in with a shout in the front 6 for me is McShane. Howard, Clifford, O'Shea, Mannion, O'Callaghan and Rock all would be ahead of Murphy for me.

Post by: yellowcard on September 15, 2019, 11:49:07 PM
The competition for places in the forward line is much greater than in defence. Two or three forwards will be harshly left out since the calls are so marginal. I could see Murphy getting one at midfield, possibly ousting David Moran in the process although that could be deemed equally harsh on Moran.

McShane is a cert and deservedly so whilst Durcan is a cert, they will be token awards for beaten semi finalists. Boyle and McNamee have outside chances but that says more about the dearth in top quality defenders this season since Boyle spent most of his season sweeping whilst McNamee had more protection than Fort Knox at times. McHugh had one in the bag until he was dominated by Durcan, could he possibly come back into the equation, I'm not sure. Keoghan from Meath would be another with an outside chance but it would be unusual for him to get it given that Meath only had fairly relative success. Cluxton for POTY and Howard/Clifford/Sean O'Shea for YPOTY.

Going by the Paddy power odds the All Stars will be

Stephen Cluxton
Micheal Fitzsimons Ronan McNamee Tom O'Sullivan
Paddy Durcan  James McCarthy Jack Mccaffrey
Brian Fenton David Moran
Con O'Callaghan Micheal Murphy Brian Howard or Sean O'Shea (both 5/6)
Paul Mannion Cathal McShane David Clifford.

Others that might sneak in for one.  Colm Boyle 13/8,David Byrne 7/2,Stephen O'Brien 5/4,Ciaran Kilkenny 2/1


Con O'Callaghan 4/7 to win footballer of the year. Cluxton is 2nd at 6/4 and Jack McCaffrey at 10/1

Probably hard to argue with the team above. I'm a Tyrone man, I don't understand why McNamee would be in team of the year personally - I'd say Ciaran Kilkenny is slightly hard done by if the above holds.

I would say so. I think Fenton, McCaffrey and him would have been contenders. Fenton's final showings probably dropped him off a bit.

In fact I would say he's maybe second choice behind McCaffrey though he was quiet saturday before coming off.

Mcnamee has been average enough, there's got to be better candidates. Fitzsimons and O'sullivan look nailed on in the full back line. You could maybe see a half back named in the full back line like keogan from Meath who was superb this year. McCaffrey and durcan are certs.

Hard to argue with that reasoning. Sometimes these All Stars are given out kinda because you have to involve the other counties that don't contest the final - think that would be the case with McNamee. McShane certainly deserves his award.

The problem with picking the full back line is the amount of protection they get in the form of other players.

Rarely is anyone in the full back line exposed and they normally have the protection of at least 1 sweeper.

I too am confused at McNamee being favourite for one. He has been decent but only one Tyrone player deserves an AS this year

Personally think it would be insane not to have Ciaran Kilkenny in the team of the year. I'd have him a strong contender for Footballer of the Year also. Also not entirely convinced Fenton gets an allstar - he had two of his worst games ever in the two finals (high bar but still). That said I can't think of a midfielder that deserves one over him bar Moran perhaps. There's always a bit of a fudge and they might drop Murphy or Howard into midfield and leave McShane out. Below is harsh on McShane and Fenton but in my opinion is fairer overall.....couldn't have Kilkenny or one of Howard/Seán O'Shea missing out either.

Personally think it would be insane not to have Ciaran Kilkenny in the team of the year. I'd have him a strong contender for Footballer of the Year also. Also not entirely convinced Fenton gets an allstar - he had two of his worst games ever in the two finals (high bar but still). That said I can't think of a midfielder that deserves one over him bar Moran perhaps. There's always a bit of a fudge and they might drop Murphy or Howard into midfield and leave McShane out. Below is harsh on McShane and Fenton but in my opinion is fairer overall.....couldn't have Kilkenny or one of Howard/Seán O'Shea missing out either.

                 Cluxton
Fitzsimons   McNamee    O'Sullivan
Durcan    McCarthy    McCaffrey
        Howard        Moran
M Murphy    Kilkenny    Sean O'Shea   
Mannion  Con O'Callaghan  Clifford

Dubs 8, Kerry 4, Mayo 1, Donegal 1, Tyrone 1.
Fenton is nailed on. McShane and Rock ahead of Kilkenny and Mannion too. Howard into half forward with Murphy missing out.

Murphy will get one. Arguably his best ever season. You rarely see players completely dominating championship matches like he did for large stretches of the summer.
Where though? Both midfielders are a cert and theres at least 6 forwards from Dublin and Kerry more deserving, plus McShane.

Can't agree.

Murphy deserves one. He was outstanding throughout the Championship, his display against Kerry in the Super 8s was the best individual display in the season. He should be nailed on for one at 11.

For me it would be:

Howard Murphy O'Brien
Clifford McShane O'Callaghan
O'Shea is a nailed on All Star. Won the sigerson with UCC as top scorer, 2nd top scorer in National League with Kerry finishing runners up, Munster winner and All Ireland finalist, 2nd top scorer in the Championship playing 2 less games than McShane and produced 2 good displays in both finals

Not nailed on going by the odds but he should be getting one before his Kerry team mate O'Brien.

He had a great game in the drawn final but he wasn't even the best player on the pitch. I think O'Brien had a better Championship from the games I saw. I think Murphy is more deserving of one this year than both of them though. There's a lot of competition in the forward line.

Whats the placed ball argument got to do with anything? All count the same. If McShane was as accurate as SoS Tyrone might have beat Kerry. (Thats not a slight on McShane btw who I really rate, but O'Shea on different level)

Not really.

Placed balls are free shots, you don't have to worry about about being blocked down or forced away from goal, being shown your wrong side, being forced to overcarry, have to make split second decisions with players converging on you from all angles. You put the ball down, take your time and put it over the bar. By the time the free is awarded it might through the endevaour and leadership of a teammate and the free taker can tap over a gimmee.

O'Shea is a fantastic free taker, the best in the game along with Rock but a free taker for Kerry is going to score a barrowload, that's given. O'Shea had an excellent game in the drawn final but I don't think he lit up any other game bar maybe the Super 8s games with deflated Meath where he seemed to score well.

Would imagine Rian O'Neill and Jamie Brennan will get in ahead of the two Cork lads in the forward line. McHugh more likely to nominated in the half back line.

3 nominations for Mayo seems a little sparse considering they made the semi finals, injuries and rotation probably didn't help in that regard.

Mickey Newman will probably be nominated or should be. I think only Rock,McShane and O'Shea scored more than him this summer. Darren Coen was one of Mayo's stand out players this summer and probably should be nominated also.

He kept McBrearty very quiet in the Donegal game when pretty much every other Tyrone player was getting beat up a stick.

He's been the best full back in the country this season. He kept two All star nominees scoreless in the Super 8s when they were coming in great form. Thought he had a decent game vs Kerry too.

He did well in the first half but McBrearty definitely won the battle in the second, which is fairly similar to what happened in the Kerry game from what I could see? I'm not sure how much stock I put in performances against Cork and Roscommon in terms of earning an All-Star.

Considering he was marking two All Star nominees in those games I'd say a fair bit of stock will be taken.

Given Ronan McNamee's performances against Donegal and Kerry is he actually likely to get an All-Star?

He kept McBrearty very quiet in the Donegal game when pretty much every other Tyrone player was getting beat up a stick.

He's been the best full back in the country this season. He kept two All star nominees scoreless in the Super 8s when they were coming in great form. Thought he had a decent game vs Kerry too.

He did well in the first half but McBrearty definitely won the battle in the second, which is fairly similar to what happened in the Kerry game from what I could see? I'm not sure how much stock I put in performances against Cork and Roscommon in terms of earning an All-Star.
Considering he was marking two All Star nominees in those games I'd say a fair bit of stock will be taken.

He did well indeed on Hurley and Cox but being honest neither have them have any chance whatsoever of winning an All-Star.

Mayo did not do to well on the nominations.

A few defenders and Aidan O Shea.

Will get one but probably not most deserving one.

Certainly puts winning the league and getting to an AI semi to bed as regards anything really, when it comes to All-Stars.

Didn't Giggs play another 5 seasons after that award? I doubt Cluxton has another 5 years left with Dublin. I think a few won't realise how good and important of player that Cluxton is until he retires.

Who would you give POTY to? Obviously as a dub that counts as a negative for yourself, but that isn't an official category thankfully for the contenders

Cluxton has been outstanding this season and deserves it on merit.

Cluxton is most influential of his generation. The one before him in my view was Dooher. Both redefined the roles they play.

Every wing half forward in the country was modeled on him for years afterwards.

Anyway Cluxton's kickouts have changed the game, how tactical it is and the mobility required for a "modern" midfielder.

Yes.

Durcan is the clear and obvious Mayo All Star.

Man marking two of the top 10 players in the country out of the game in successive weeks was some feat, had Mayo made the final then Durcan would have been FOTY material.

Bigotry:
intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself.

That's you btw.

As a non-bigot, I think this award has been given to Cluxton to celebrate his career achievements (which presumably are coming to an end). I'm not sure anyone can argue that he was the best footballer of 2019. He deserves an achievement award and if POTY 2019 is the only means we have of giving this to him, fair enough.

Yes, I'd pretty much agree with that. Similar to the Ryan Giggs thing, as I said before.

Thought Ciarán Kilkenny was unlucky not to win an All Star!

Cluxton's POTY well deserved. A modest man, who goes about his work diligently!

Ridiculous that great players like kilkenny and keogan weren't selected but an average player like mcnamee was.

Your life must must be very said, do you spend your whole life with a pair of binoculars set up, leering in at your neighbours in a permanent state of rage?

Delighted for McNamee, he missed out on one in 2015 when he was the best full back in the country so good to see him finally rewarded.

Howard named at 6 the only surprise so far. 6 forwards to be named after the ad break.

Not a surprise but while he didn't really play 6 he was nominated in that line so.........
Boyle really should have got 6.
No he wasn't. He was nominated in the forwards

A modest man he is. Met him once with the kids hoping for a quick photo but it went one better he took out a ball and started to play. Everything about him and the way he carries himself was very classy. In the All Ireland replay I think all but one of his kick outs went astray. His timing belt is still working great and he is  still phenomenal shot stopper. I think he can go another year.

Durcan got his all star based on Donegal and Dublin games where he played wing forward. Wouldn't begrudge Brian Howard an All Star, while he didn't score much this year he played his football his best an extra defender/midfielder when Dublin weren't in possession of the ball.

McShane deserved his award 100%. Mcnamee is an average full back. Watch the Kerry goal again v Tyrone and see how he ball watches and is totally unaware of the danger.

He was the best full back on show this year and also in 2015. He deserves his award. He did very good man marking jobs on three All Star nominees this year - Brian Hurley, Conor Cox and Paddy McBrearty. He deserves his award simple as that, the two chaps you mentioned as alternatives didn't play at full back this year.

You are utterly obsessed with Tyrone football, if you had as much interest in Derry football as you have in trying to run Tyrone down it might be of use to your county.

Can't argue with Cluxton getting POTY. Kickouts on the money all year as usual, saved a penalty and another excellent save in the final. Glad O'Shea got the nod ahead of Clifford but both were sublime this year. Howard at CHB ahead of Boyle is a joke.

Rock for me all day long ahead of Mannion as well.

He ended up at wing forward at times as his role was to curb the influence of key players and few of the players he marked out of the game happen to play wing back. Weighing in with scores while man marking made his performances all the more impressive.

Its a bit strange, Thomas Galligan was nominated as a forward and McCarthy in midfield. Galligan most media had as a midfielder anyway in their selections.  Then they got switched around at the last minute and thats where Durcan lost out. Suppose defenisvely Mayo were poor enough this year, maybe thats what it was.

Looking for crumbs of comfort I guess but the fact that Cillian got an award is some consolation -- for me anyway.
I'm glad to see he has re-discovered some of his old form at last. He went through a few bad years where he spent more time niggling and tripping and generally acting the maggot. He got the gate a few times and he could have been sent off a few more.
But, IMO anyway, he redeemed himself this year. He may not be in contention for an All-Star again or at least there won't be many more years to be in the running, so it's good to see him doing himself justice this year.

I don't think Kevin McLoughlin ever got an All Star , hard to believe , but I suppose with the Dubs hoovering up over 50% of the awards every year , it reduces opportunities for the other 31 counties.

Byrne very unlucky to miss out for Dublin, arguably their best defender there and 4 of the Dublin defence picked ahead of him.

McCarthy named at 6 despite playing in midfield.

I don't think Kevin McLoughlin ever got an All Star , hard to believe , but I suppose with the Dubs hoovering up over 50% of the awards every year , it reduces opportunities for the other 31 counties.
I'm tslking about the young fella who played half back, maybe he's not called McLaughlin? Got the black card against Galway. Conroy possibly could have got one too.

Byrne very unlucky to miss out for Dublin, arguably their best defender there and 4 of the Dublin defence picked ahead of him.

McCarthy named at 6 despite playing in midfield.
Impossible to leave Galligan, Fenton or McCarthy out though.

Commitment,training and natural ability have nothing to do with it then. I'm suree that makes Mayo players/supporters feel better. If the county board had simply spent more money on the team then they'd have won a few All Irelands.

The money enabled Dublin to harness the population advantage and over time build Leinster and subsequently All Ireland dominance.
I know from hurling that playing at the top and winning brings players on and that that constantly losing all Ireland finals does not.
Winning 6 in a row goes ever further in the direction of excellence.
But the system doesn't work for anyone else. Cavan won 3 all stars and they were destroyed in the semi final.

I would prefer a competitive championship with different counties winning .
If Cavan were good enough to win Ulster I would like them to get a fair shot at Sam.

and that nothing has been done to even partially negate the societal imbalance.

the thruth is dublin probably should get more money to either improve the dmall clubs or open new one in the new areas of the city. But while Dublin are so dominant its going to be a hard sell same for belfast cork and Galway City . Limerick is Rugby country so no point in helpin them

The answer is simple. Dublin should become a province - it has the population size for it. Then they could decide how to structure their provincial competition - e.g. i) split Dublin into the 4 administrative Co Cos that are already in place, ii) North/South split, iii) keep it as one county and twiddle their thumbs until the other provincial competitions are completed.
That would allow the Leinster championship to be a competition again.

how many subdivisions divide dublin in 3 and you still probably have the 3  most populous counties ( apart from Antrim which is another story). Would 6 be to many

It is disappointing that dubs matches all start on time isn't it. In the good auld days you could be enjoying your pre match pints in Meaghers in the sunshine safe in the knowledge throw in would be delayed by 15 min if you wanted one for the road.

Alas, like the Celtic tiger, that era has gone and is unlikely to return so dubs matches actually start at their designated times now

I think leave things as they are. Some team sooner or later will catch Dublin out on a bad day in the Leinster or the All Ireland  championship. It may take 5 or so years but the wait will be worth it. It probably wont happen for a while after that again, but teams will have got inspired and that will keep them going for a while. In the meantime if Covid has gone the GAA can look for handouts from the Government to cover the costs from a lack of interest from Advertisers, former paying Punters and the TV companies.
