When I saw Loughrey get an "honourable mention" at corner back I almost didn't bother reading the rest.

Suffice to say, there's a few of those lads who obviously are likely to get Allstars, but the Dublin fullback line for example, have had zero testing, so no idea how they all get mentioned.

Until there is some proper scoring and performance weighting system put in place for Allstars (as there is in AFL for example) then it will continue to be slightly tainted..not to mention of course, some of the clueless hacks who get to pick the team.

What do you mean by this? The All Australian team is picked by a panel at the end of the season, much as the All-Stars is.

Do the points you see in match reports for each player not count towards something no? That's the impression I got, maybe I was wrong.

Yeah Loughrey must be some kind of joke. Think they're being a little generous to O'Carroll, didn't think he was great against Monaghan, but then there's not a lot of great full-backs around. Fail to see what Conor Sweeney has done to merit a mention, unless it's based on the league, in which case fair enough.

Why is Cian O'Sullivan in a suit?

That list of players is a load of rubbish, where is Cregger on it? The greatest player of his generation or maybe ever according to your tales of greatness about him, he was pulling up trees on the pitch in the heat of fbd games in january and the early stages of the league when it really mattered  ;D ;D January is when a player should be judged on their greatness not in august and september

If you were any use you'd be playing.
