Darren McCurry should have got a nomination. His performances against Mayo & Kerry are as good as anything seen this year.

Jesus, when you think Turbo Tutbitt got an All star whole McCurry cant even get a nomination

Its the All stars though.  Plenty of things as above

Ah it's good to see GAABoard clause 3.1 in action once again...... I.e. no matter how highly rated, how effective, how influential a player is, someone from Tyrone will be along before too long to advise that they have one who is better.

Oh and by way of explanation. I'm a Dazzler superfan. He's one of my favourite players ever.

But anyone pushing for an All Star for a substitute on a team that was knocked out at the quarter final stage, well they're not just scraping the last dregs from the barrel of loyalty, they need their f**king head seen to.

He was fantastic, but agreed. Tyrone will likely get one with Kilpatrick which would be deserved.

They move Carney to No.11, kilpatrick get midfield i think. Do we give league champs nothing these days! Should just call it team of the championship.

Team of the last 4....as has been for years.
2026 the year of the 9 Cups

Would like to see Kobe get young player

Beirne might shade it.

League champs!?
Come on, teams have been trying to avoid getting to the league final for years, why would all-star places be reserved for league winners?

"It is not about putting what he did on a higher pedestal than Clifford's artistry. But when O'Donoghue went a long way towards matching him for scores and for efficiency in front of the posts, then the other things come in to play. And 13-0 in turnovers is a pretty stark stat

Clifford was a far more dangerous scoring threat than O'Donoghue throughout the season. If they want to start nitpicking at stats though, then lets look at how much Clifford scored from open play versus O'Donoghue, or how many frees Clifford won that resulted in scores.
