The Meath boys won't be happy with these selections

Well done Oisin Conaty. Delighted for him.

Rest of the team probably as expected, Meath maybe underrepresented but not sure who you'd take out.

Quote from: Maroon Manc on September 26, 2025, 09:33:12 AMDid Conaty miss many games? I watched a fair bit of Mulroy this year, he'd be winning one as a reward for Louth and not reaching the level of the likes of Conaty.

He was exceptional in every game I saw him but there's always so called big name players in every sport that always seem to get awards despite not deserving them.

Sean O'Shea likely to win a 4th All Star for performance which was outstanding but thats not enough to win an All Star.
His performance against Armagh was as good as you're likely to see, but he was left unmarked all day for some strange reason. Don't think he had a big final or semi final did he?

So it proves yet again -  one  memorable  performance will  get you an all star.
Watching him that day and how good he was I'd have no complaints about him getting one. Unreal.

One part of his game this year that was outstanding was his defensive work in his own 45 and 21 winning some amount of turnovers

Anybody think Michael Murphy in there maybe more so on his profile and him coming back after a few years break?

Or just me being harsh on him?

Morris maybe hard done by? Meath topped their group and beat Dublin, Kerry and Galway in the one year, obviously didn't turn up against Donegal but they'd a good year.

No, thought Murphy done enough for a All Star.Wasnt good in the final but few Donegal men were. I thought Morris or O'Donnell should got in ,infront of Mulroy. Still think Rafferty best keeper but the Kerry melt down counted against him.

Rafferty was just as poor against Dublin however the Dubs was so poor with their shooting shot selection compared to Kerry against Armagh.

Conor O'Donnell should have won one and maybe Conaty who was very consistent throughout got selected before him as I feel Murphy and Mulroy was be always nailed down for All Star with the selection committee

Tyrone under represented as SF usually get 1. Meath where represented

Alot of awards are tokenistic. Louths first title in  68 years had to be recognised (so Mulroy got one, ahead of others who  were more worthy).  As was Murphy's  comeback as a PoTY nominee.

Then a few others get  awards on the basis of one  very good   performance ( Sean O'Shea) .  And others don't get one on the basis of one  poor performance.

2nd year in a row a semi finalists didn't get one.  Kerry with none last year and only lost after extra time to the eventual champions.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Instead worrying were they got to, who was good enough to displace those selected?
