Galway, Monaghan & Tyrone all have 7 players nominated.

Only one Tyrone forward though, fairly sums up where their issues are.

Actually 2 Tyrone forwards there, but one of them nominated in defence because he likes number 7!

I would have had McBrearty in my nomination list, despite missing a crucial part of the season.

Didn't think Doyle was the best Kildare defender on show this year. Maybe I didn't see enough of them, but I would have chosen Peter Kelly.

Pity there's not a 16th award for All Star Super Sub of the Year  ;D
Although maybe I'm only saying that because Kev Mac would have won it 4 or 5 times since 2011!

Has this nonsense not been abolished yet?
I suppose we didn't get any in the defence?
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

Only Conor McManus scored more than Connor McAliskey this summer and he scored more from play than McManus. Very odd he's not nominated.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Itchy

There is nothing odd about any of this. Its a pile of shite and its always been a pile of shite. There is no relationship between the best players and who is nominated. The AI winner has to get 10 and 2nd has to get a few. Then throw in an odd one just to make it look like every county has been considered.

I would have said Kevin Flynn but he's probably not a big enough 'name' yet. On Peter Kelly, it's long odds on that he will remain the only current player in Leinster outside of Dublin with an All Star to his name.
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

J70

Shame McBrearty got injured.

Aside from how his absence affected the Donegal team, with the form he was in he would have been a shoe-in for a nomination and would have had a good shot at winning an award.

Agreed. Delighted to see Grugan in there

Beggan got the Allstar

https://m.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/football-all-stars-revealed-dublin-claim-seven-but-stephen-cluxton-misses-out-once-again-37480480.html

All-Ireland champions Dublin lead the way overall with seven honours after they secured a fourth consecutive All-Ireland title.
Monaghan are next on the list, with Beggan joined by Karl O'Connell and Conor McManus, who picks up his third award.

Beaten All-Ireland finalists Tyrone pick up just two awards, both in defence, through Cavanagh and Padraig Hampsey.
Donegal, Galway and Kerry complete the list, with Ryan McHugh, Ian Burke and David Clifford picking up spots in the forward division.

Cluxton was screwed. Ryan McHugh and Ian Burke lucky as well. Thought Dean Rock and maybe Shane Walsh would get in

Cluxton had a few ropey moments. Beggan, barring his brain fart at the end of the semi final had a flawless year.

Monaghan got more than Tyrone which says a lot about where Tyrone really are at the moment in the eyes of the selection group

Meh. Beat Donegal comfortably on their own pitch and got past monaghan on an off day. Wouldn't fear any of them next year.
