Football All Stars 2018

[An Fhairche Abu]

I would disagree that Shane Walsh is a cert.

There's no certs until the final is over, plenty have lost out on the back of terrible All Ireland performances.

Exactly, in 2016 michael breen for tipp (hurling) was nailed on, had a brilliant year but missed out after having a terrible game in the final

We've still a final round of the Super 8's to come then the Semi's and the final; Its nonsense to suggest there are any certs at all. There are a 3 or 4 players well placed to get them but that would change with a couple of poor performances. Semi Final & Final performances will go a long way to deciding who gets them.

Indeed. The only cert is that the finalists will dominate the awards.

Any other high performers will have to make do with a nomination, if that, depending on how far their team gets.

Michael murphy has been one of the best about this year too.

[Mayo4Sam14]

Lol. Yeah i doubt galway will get that many. Dublin may end up with 8 and you would expect maybe more tyrone. I wouldn't be so sure galway would beat tyrone so hardly merit 5 to 1.

Like I said it'll change after the semis and final but that's what I'd pick on the games so far

[Mayo4Sam14]

1. Rory Beggan
2. Tom O'Sullivan
3. Jonny Cooper
4. Eoghan Kerin
5. Brian Howard
6. James McCarthy
7. Karl O'Connell
8. Brian Fenton
9. Tom Flynn
10. Niall Sludden
11. Shane Walsh
12. Ryan McHugh
13. David Clifford
14. Damien Comer
15. Ian Burke

I'd have it as something like this for now but the all stars are really picked off of big performances in the all Irelands semifinals and final

Dublin, the best team by a country mile, without even one forward... I wonder what the odds would be on that??

GalwayforSam18 would be a better username for him.

Suggest some changes then

[kerryforsam2018]

Rory Beggan
Eoghan Kerins
Johny Cooper
Tom O'Sullivan
Cathal Sweeney
Gareth Bradshaw
Paddy Durcan
Tom Flynn
Ciaran Thompson
Enda Smith
Shane Walsh
Cathal McShane
David Clifford
Michael Murphy
Damien Comer

[Puckoon]

[Cunny Funt]

3 at least for Tyrone now C Cavanagh,M Donnelly and maybe N Sludden?
3 for Monaghan Beggan,O'Connell and McManus
1 for Galway Walsh perhaps
1 for Kerry Clifford

The rest will likely go to Dublin

[Puckoon]

Sludden was not at the races today I didn't think

[Syferus]

Clifford doesn't deserve an All-Star. YPotY.

[Wildweasel74]

Doesn't deserve an all-star?? You laughable, he been the best corner forward this year on a bad team

[Cunny Funt]

Sludden was not at the races today I didn't think

His 1-2 from play in a low scoring game today was a huge contribution.

Clifford doesn't deserve an All-Star. YPotY.

Check out his Super 8s stats on his own dedicated thread.  Howard of Dublin could win the YPOTY before him.

Clifford played in the far weaker of the two groups and on a team that won a single match of three. Distant losers in the AIQFs rarely net many All-Stars no matter what their stats are. If he gets one it's just the usual Kerry-Dublin-Mayo bias at work.
