All stars 25

[Armagh18]

good to see a few armagh men though Id be surprised if any make the final cut

Possibly Conaty, was excellent every game but mightnt get one.

yeah, he has a good chance actually

Did Conaty miss many games? I watched a fair bit of Mulroy this year, he'd be winning one as a reward for Louth and not reaching the level of the likes of Conaty.

He was exceptional in every game I saw him but there's always so called big name players in every sport that always seem to get awards despite not deserving them.

Sean O'Shea likely to win a 4th All Star for performance which was outstanding but thats not enough to win an All Star.

Was Mulroy at All Star level this year?

[gallsman]

Yes

His performance against Armagh was as good as you're likely to see, but he was left unmarked all day for some strange reason. Don't think he had a big final or semi final did he?

Conaty deserves one before Mulroy to be honest!

Just because of the breakthrough year that Louth and Meath have had I can see them giving Mulroy and Rafferty an award. You could argue there are others more deserving but they'll be the popular choice I'd say.

I agree The Juice. These 2 will get 1 each I'd think. Just the year that was in it with Louth winning Leinster and Meath going on a bit of a run. Therefore they need a bit of a reward.

That's fair enough in my opinion. Changes it up a bit also.

Player of the Year:

David Cliffford (Kerry)
Joe O'Connor (Kerry)
Michael Murphy (Donegal)

Can't believe Paudie Clifford not there though obviously it's a shoe-in for David.

Probably missing a good bit of the year didn't help Paudie, he was better than Murphy but they were never going to leave Murphy off it. Joe O'Connor would get my vote but Clifford will win it.

Paudie Clifford had a brilliant final but he was average against Tyrone and only played the 2nd half against Armagh (good impact). Injured for most of Championship and got a red card against Cork which almost and probably should have cost them the game - definitely not enough for a Player of the Year nomination. I wouldn't have him as a shoe in for an All Star either

Can understand why Paudie didn't make it but Murphy being nominated based on his performances this year has to be up there with amongst the worst decisions in a long while.

Normally you'd say any of POTY nominations are all automatic All Stars.

The majority of the people I've talked to about the All Stars have been saying that Murphy is likely to get an All Star because he was nominated for the POTY nomination as opposed to actually being worth one.
