Rodgers not be far away. He was outstanding until the semi final.

[Rossfan]

These things are given out based on Semis and Final.

Dubs probably second best team, given they ran Kerry so very close. But most saying just 1 for them (Kilkenny).

[yellowcard]

I think Glass is a certainty at midfield looking at the list of nominations. His only real rival is Conroy who was taken off in the final and didn't perform well that day. I thought that they might have shoehorned Rian O'Neill into that position but Glass is the obvious choice now that the nominations are complete. Rodgers, McKaigue and McCloskey all would have chances but only one of those will win an award.

Derry will get 2

McKaigue and Glass

Whether they are the most deserving 2, is another debate altogether

McKaigue definitely most deserving, then arguments to be made for Glass, Rogers and McGuigan all had days where they were superb.

McCluskey was our most consistent player all year, and that's saying something considering the year Derry had

True but our most outstanding player was Rogers. His performance in the Ulster Final was up there with anyone all season.

[nrico2006]

What about McKinless? McGuigan wasn't good enough for one.

[Silver hill]

I'd take consistently brilliant over outstanding.
Mccluskey just goes about his business, no noise, fanfare or fuss. Very rarely in the media and unfortunately, that may count again him.  The same boy probably isn't even remotely interested in individual awards anyway.

[Mikhailov]

From the outside looking in, McCluskey appears to be the type of player every squad and management  needs. No fuss, no hype but gets the job done whether it is a marking job or a attacking half back.

Seems a likeable level headed lad which will probably go against him in individual award scenarios.
He would be an absolute nightmare if you are a forward. Not only will he mark you well but he bombs forward with serious pace and does it all day long - a machine.

In my opinion, he should get an All Star but Mckaigue will probably get it as he has a higher media profile and that is always worth a few votes.

[Armagh18]

McKaigue had a ridiculously good man marking record, think his man only scored a handful of points from play all year and thats marking the likes of McCurry and McBrearty etc

[Silver hill]

Agree, mckaigue has been an outstanding man marker this year especially and our go to specialist when required over the past 10 years. I'm still baffled though, as to why Rory Gallagher put him on finnerty instead of Comer in the semi.

[seafoid]

In 5 out of the last 12 seasons the number of all stars awarded to semi and quarter finalists was greater than 5.
I don't think the gap between the finalists and the rest was huge this year.
