Dubs get 4!

[bombidal]

Same panel picks the hurling and with Fanning getting the full back spot on his own play and not his teams I wouldnt at all be suprised to see this team named tonight.

[Stagmeister]

If that is the team...then the only real issue I have with it is Whelan....he was outplayed and outclassed in the Derry and Kerry matches.
And he only played in spells against Meath. I just dont get why he's so highly rated when there are at least half a dozen better midfielders in the country.

Half a dozen midfielders in the country better than Whelan...who's the 6??
Whelan destroyed Derry in the first half and then Doherty came out and dominated the second half...they both had their periods of dominance that day, was very impressed with Doherty that day but didn't see enough of him to know if he warrants an All - Star.

One midfielder I did see being outplayed and outclassed was Dara O'Se against Monaghan though...and he wasnt great against Dublin either...Shane Scanlon was far better

Dont think he deserves the All-Star

I'd be very surprised if Dublin get more than Cork.

[the Deel Rover]

i'd be surprised if Bray gets one didn't do a lot against Tyrone or Cork

[OUR BOY]

Would have to agree with GMS that Gary Mc Quaid deserved an award (altough knew due to lack of media hype knew that he would not get one).He was one of the most consistent players in the championship.
As regards the midfield you could make a case for any two out of four (O Se,Whelan,Murphy or Doherty).I thought they all had their moments altough they all had some poor periods. Have to say i cant believe that most people have o Se as a certainty.Was far from his best year as he was at best very average against Monaghan and Dublin.
Would also say that alot of people are very sore on Brogan.Any man who scores on average three points from play considering he is normally marked by the oppositions best man marker has to be in with a strong shout for an award.

Spot on Buckass... respect

Dublin with 4  turns the awards into a complete and utter shambles.
If they ever get another final they will sweep the board.

He scored 3 from play against Tyrone.

He scored 3 from play against Tyrone.

And was completely taken out of it in the 2nd half by Conor Gormley. Not of All-Star quality, sorry.

[Rossfan]

3 Counties who actually won trophies (real ones not Div 2 NFL) - Sligo/Donegal/Tyrone get no award. Dublin get 4 which shows where most of the selection committe are based.
The whole thing is an almighty farce anyway and most people have stopped taking it serious years ago.
Best part of course was the interview with the  mighty Merv
