All-Stars 2024

[Armagh18]

Surely the GAA won't find a way to give Clifford one?

Who are we thinking for footballer of the year? From an Armagh pov Turbo and McCambridge have been unreal, a big final from Rian would have him in contention too.

Conaty could be in with a shout of young player of the year although he hadn't his best day on Saturday.

A good player having a great season but I thought he had a nightmare on Saturday. Clifford did not do enough to justify an all star, never thought I would be saying that in the 2020's

Yeah watched it back there earlier and he put a huge shift in but just one of them days where everything he touched went wrong.

I wonder is there a possibility the likes of Duffy or Jarly Og come in for him the next day for a bit of size against that Galway team. He'd be some man to bring off the bench.

Any chance Soupy Campbell gets nominated off the bench he's hit some vital scores the last few games

I'm probably biased but Darragh Canavan has been as good a forward as there has been this year. I know he won't get one as your team has to reach a semi final minimum but think he should be in the conversation.

Cathal McShane got a nomination in 2021 having been a sub.

Niall Morgan isn't getting an All Star lads. He's from Tyrone, not Wexford. He's not going to get a pat on the back for being a shining star from a weak county.

McCambridge, McKay and Turbitt the most likely from Armagh at the minute; all 3 would likely get a gong with an average AI final. Blaine just needs an error free 70 mins to pick up one too. Wouldn't be so sure about O'Neill or Grugan just yet. Both have had big games but both have had poor games too. So has Con O'Callaghan and I can't see him getting one ahead of those.

Peader Mogan is an absolute cert. Sam Mulroy is as good as a cert too.

Galway are an awkward one to predict. I expect Conroy and McHugh are on the boat already, but there's up to 10 of them just 1 good 70 mins away.

[Armagh18]

Watched the game back there and McElroy and Grimley were excellent I thought although McElroy is one of those lads that doesn't get the credit he deserves. Grimley, Rian, Grugan, Forker all in the running and big finals would get one.

By a country mile the best keeper in the game.

[Captain Obvious]

The performances of Blaine Hughes and Conor Gleeson went a long way towards Galway and Armagh winning at the weekend and if both have a solid All Ireland final performance it will be a toss of coin to see which one of those two will win the All Star goal keeper award this year.

[Armaghtothebone]

Last year.
9 All stars to the 2 finalists, 5 for the Dubs 4 for Kerry.
5 more split between the 2 beaten semi finalists.
A single All star to one of the 4 beaten quarter finalists.
Would expect a similar split thos year.

[Rossfan]

We were only last 12 last year

[imtommygunn]

You would wonder would David Clifford get one? Paudie probably more deserving. I don't think he merits one but gleeson has seriously improved this last year - he was a major weak link for Galway and you had to wonder why Joyce stuck with him but he has fairly turned it round.  Hughes is good and I think one of the big reasons for Armagh's significant improvement but Morgan is the best in the business at the minute.

[galwayman]

For us - McGrath and McHugh are nailed on. For the rest - the final will dictate a lot.
For Armagh Turbitt looks to have one in the bag already also. He should get one even if were to have a poor final he's been exceptional

McHugh 4/5 to win Player of the year with PP.

When I saw Galway get roasted by Mayo in the 2nd half 3 years ago I didn't think McHugh was good enough, his improvement has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Absolutely not, might be nominated

[Maroon Manc]

Its a funny year for forwards with only Turbit from the 2 finalists nailed on too win an All Star.

Kerry had a soft run to the semi final, they've won enough all stars in recent years.

Has Gallen done enough to get one? Don't think any of the other Donegal forwards have done enough but they may push Mogan into the forwards as there's a lot of competition in the back. A lot will depend on the final

Sam Mulroy could well end up with one but as ever a lot will depend on the final, Tom O'Sullivan was in player of the year category before the 2022 final and didn't even get an All Star which was harsh as all of Shane Walsh's score were ridiculous.

Paul Conroy would be another nailed on player for Galway, at 35 he's having his best year in the Galway jersey 2-13 scored from midfield only Shane Walsh and Rob Finnerty has scored more
