All-Stars 2024

[Estimator]

Declan Browne received two All-Stars, without really getting to the 'business end of the championship'

First one in '98. Tipp played four games that year. Beat Limerick, Waterford and Clare, and lost to Kerry in the final. Obviously pre-qualifiers, so no further games.

He won his second in 2003. Again, He played in four games. Other sides who got to the 'business end' might have played double that amount. In Munster Tipp beat Waterford, then were hammered by Kerry in in the Munster semi-final. In the qualifiers they beat Carlow before being hammered by Donegal.

But, the 2003 All Stars are funny in the sense that Laois, beaten in the QF by Armagh, received more All Stars than the AI Finalists - Armagh.

Think most people agree Morgan is probably the best keeper atm, doesn't mean he deserves an All Star this year, Blaine Hughes was supremely consistent for significantly more games, its non-sensical and a stupid precedent to set.

Declan Browne was an extraordinary talent though. Could score off either foot. Would probably have walked onto any team in the country. Just a shame he came from a hurling county.

In the context of the Morgan All star....
Hughes wouldn't get a game if Morgan was from Armagh.

Business end either counts or it doesn't.
There are plenty of examples over the years where it hasn't.

If Clifford or Con were from Galway Finnerty wouldnt get a game. Irrelevant.

Niall Morgan not in attendance, overseas on his holidays. He didn't even expect to win All Star this year.

That's one of the more nonsensical posts that's been on here in a while.

Young footballer of the year Oisin Conaty Armagh.

Senior footballer of the year Paul Conroy. Galway.

[Armagh18]

f**k them. We'll just have to go and keep Sam.

[galwayman]

Don't think I could possibly be more delighted for a player than I am for Paul Conroy winning player of the year. The man has soldiered year in year out and on plenty of shite Galway teams at that.17 seasons in a row. He got better and better as the years went on. The epitome of a leader. Delighted for him

Said the other day I wanted Barry to win it but I wouldn't begrudge Conroy. A brilliant player so well done. Definitely disappointed for Barry but I'm sure he's happy enough with the year he's had.

[bennydorano]

Congratulations to Conroy & Conaty, well deserved. Right men won.

[Captain Obvious]

Wouldn't begrudge  Paul Conroy either,  At 35 years of age playing in midfield and as reported scored 2-16 from 29 shots was impressive going.

Christ almighty.

I don't even think Conroy was Galway's best player. Maher was
