If you were giving out All Stars at this stage, who would be shoo ins ?

Scrappy Doo isn't as angry as that now is he ? 

[Onlooker]

Shane McGrath has to be Tipp's best bet for an All Star.  He was otstanding all year.  Seamus Callinan would have a great chance of getting "Young Hurler of the Year" only for a certain teenager from Galway called Joe Canning.  Canning is also a certain All Star.  As Munster and National League winners, Tipp might get a second award, but as always, the All Ireland finalists will get the bulk of the awards.

They'll divide it up - give Callinan an All Star and give Joe Young player of the year.


But who will be player of the year ??

Kilkenny again ?

[AZOffaly]

Eoin Kelly of Waterford will get player of the year if Waterford win the All Ireland. That's money on.

2-13 v Offaly, 1-9 or something v Wexford, 1-10 yesterday.

Shane McGrath will get an All Star, and I think Conor O'Mahoney might be Tipp's second All Star.

A lot depends on the AIF of course, but at the moment, I think the All Stars could look something like this (assuming Kilkenny win the AIF, but nobody goes ape altogether)

Clinton Hennessy

Eoin Murphy Noel Hickey Jackie Tyrell

Tommy Walsh Conor O'Mahony John Gardiner

        Cha Fitzpatrick   Shane McGrath

Ben O'Connor      Henry Shefflin      Eoin Larkin

Eddie Brennan     Eoin Kelly (WD)    Eoin McGrath

[orangeman]

I think Brendan Cummins will get the goalie.

[AZOffaly]

Depends. Goalie is one of those positions that is usually given to pad either the finallists, or winners, representations. I think Tipp wil get two, and I think O'Mahoney and McGrath will get them. (Unless Ken McGrath has a fantastic final).

If Waterford lose the final, I think they'll still get 4 All Stars, and Kelly and Eoin McGrath are in the driving seat for 2 of them.

So who is Davy's Uncle Scooby?

[AZOffaly]

No, they were seperated at birth, so the real scrappy doo got brought up by Scooby. When Davy grows up he wants to be like the man who raised him, Skeletor.

[orangeman]

  Scary boy !

[theskull1]

Don't think Shaggy and Scrappy get on

[youngfella]

          Clinton Hennessy

Eoin Murphy Noel Hickey Jackie Tyrell

Tommy Walsh Conor O'Mahony John Gardiner

        Cha Fitzpatrick   Shane McGrath

Ben O'Connor      Henry Shefflin      Eoin Larkin

Eddie Brennan     Eoin Kelly (WD)    Eoin McGrath

I'd imagine there'll be a few more black n amber forwards than that, Didnt think ben preformed that well against them last time out. Watch the cork galway game on utube, canning really really really stands out, I starting to change my mind about him. I think he may get an award. Possibly in place of McGrath, imagine hitting a wide ball for a 70 yard line ball....  he's the real deal

Fecking hell. I forgot about Joe Canning.

If Eddie Brennan plays well in the final, he'll get one, but maybe it'll look like this

Eoin Kelly (WD)   Henry Shefflin    Eoin Larkin

Eddie Brennan    Joe Canning       Eoin McGrath



If Eddie has a poor final, I think Eoin Kelly will go in the corner, Ben will stay wing forward and Joe will be full forward.

[imtommygunn]

Ben O'Connor for me has to get one. I don't think they'll give Kilkenny any more than 3 forwards and they'll have to fight it among themselves in the final.

Certainties:
Walsh
Fitzpatrick
O'Connor
O'Mahoney
McGrath
Kelly(WD)
Brennan
Larkin should be too

[AZOffaly]

If Ben O'Connor gets one, I'd say Eddie Brennan and Eoin McGrath might be going head to head for the last one in the AIF.
