All-Stars 2023

[tbrick18]

Karl O'Connell one of the best half back this year, we giving J Mccarthy the sympathy vote to fit him in?

It will make a complete mockery of things if having been nominated at midfield, they then put McCarthy in at half back to squeeze him into the team.

To be fair a number of All Stars have been selected that way for a few years now.

Also most players don't play a dedicated position nowadays. Apart from designated man-markers or marquee forwards, anyone can be anywhere.

Yeah the Colm Cavanagh full back one in 2018 was the worst they have ever done in that regard.

Correct those days are long gone, only poorly organised teams will leave opposition forwards with loads of room and time on the ball to cause damage. Both midfielders and wing half forwards are expected to put in a serious shift defensive as well as set up a lot of the attacking play.

I still think certain position on the field are still specialist position, Full back been the most obvious one.

Rodgers number 3 and McGuigan likely to  make it number 4.

[Brendan]

James Mccarthy shifted out of position just to get him in there, but I'll not complain too much derry on 3 so far

Always liable to happen. Nominated in the list of midfielders to begin with then was in the list of all the defenders during the show tonight.

Clifford is POTY. McCarthy should have been nominated instead of Fenton.

[Brendan]

Roscommon man now, they've really tore up the rule book and in a good way!
