Worth discussing who'll get All-stars after today's matches.

I think Roarty, Langan and Murphy are likely at this stage. Meath should get one for Sean Rafferty, Menton and Costello who I think has been brilliant. Rafferty and Langan early runners for POTY. Tyrone's most likely are Teague and McGeary and an outside shout for McCurry depending on how he does in the SF. Sean O'Shea, White and David Clifford seem to have strong shouts too.

No obvious candidates for GK. Ronan Burns probably deserves it at the minute but a strong SF or final showing by any of the remaining 4 could swing it for them.

Matthew Thompson Galway had a excellent season.  He might get young player of the year.

Monaghan should win one All Star and Rory Beggan their most likely winner who finished their top scorer with 0-59.

Forgot about him. Galway and Armagh might be hard pressed to get any this year. Conaty was in pole position for one, and played really well today, but his teams collapse will likely put an end to his chances.

Is Roarty young enough for YPOTY?

Fogarty

Thompson didn't deliver enough today.

I think if Down had gotten over the line against Galway, Ordhran Murdock would have been in with a good shot of an all star in either midfield or half forward line. Can't see Burns getting one over the likes of Patton or Morgan and even Beggan who have gone further in the competiton.

Yes only 19.

Talking of Thompsons, Ciaran Thompson is worthy of a mention too. Having a good year.

As always, the actual awards will depend on who makes the final and who wins and who stars.

But nominations should be starting to crystallize at this point.

From Donegal, I'd say cases for nominations at the moment could be made for Murphy, McCole, Patton, Shane O'Donnell, Langan and Roarty. Good semi and, if we make it, final appearances could push the likes of Gallen, Conor O'Donnell, Mogan, Thompson etc onto it.

Roarty could make the YPOTY list.

If we were to win out, and he continues to plays well, Murphy would probably be POTY.  🤯  ;D

You've forgotten Jim getting banned last year for playing him in the McKenna Cup two days short of his 18th birthday? ;D

I think Gallen has been miles off it this year.

He was better yesterday but hasn't been hitting the heights expected of him.

I'd our only hopes for nominations are Conaty and Grugan, Conaty class today. Rafferty was looking a cert before today, not his day unfortunately.

Roarty looking like YPOTY. Menton for Meath and Morris were superb today.

Clifford and Murphy obviously certs, Lanagan should get one too.

SCFC

Louth will get one.
Maybe Ryan Birns or Mulroy?

galwayman

We won't get one.
Matthew Thompson the only Galway player who has really been consistently up to standard this year.
Think we'd have needed to make a semi final for him to realistically be in the running for one.
