Replying To Tarismelting22: "No Roscommon didn't go far enough and no individual really stood out. Enda smith had a huge Connacht final but after that nothing" Mayo really should have 12-14 Allstars this year. Most teams have played 4-6 matches Mayo will have played 10 Most mayo players have played very well in 6 matches No other players have played well in more than 4 matches Very simple maths really tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1105 - 30/08/2017 06:57:22 2040552 Link

Replying To poguemahone: "Don't know. Saved a semi final penalty which is as big as it gets in saving terms for a keeper. Point blank and important save in the Leinster final. Saved a few thrown at him by Monaghan. Clark got more 'stops practice' as Mayo played poorly in their earlier games but not much Cluxton can do about that. Again it is Cluxton's kick outs that keeps him consistently good. His first kick out (superb one to pick out Scully) on Sunday lead directly to Dublin's first score. Not much between the two and reckon the final will decide who gets the all star." Clarke got All-Star last year after being dropped for final!! imonmyway (Mayo) - Posts: 113 - 30/08/2017 11:49:55 2040669 Link
McCarthy is player of the year so far. And people have Parsons in the team ahead of him! I've lost faith in humanity! tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 30/08/2017 12:42:41 2040697 Link

Cluxton Higgins O'Sullivan Fitzsimmons McCann Boyle McCaffery McCarthy Cavanagh Kilkenny AOS Doherty Geaney Moran O'Callaghan Dublin 7 Mayo 5 Tyrone 2 Kerry 1 This could change after the Final obviously.. carmen92 (Tyrone) - Posts: 25 - 30/08/2017 13:49:05 2040736 Link
1 Clarke\Cluxton if neither outperforms the other then cluxton. 2 Higgins .Guaranteed 3 Cian O'Sullivan(McNamee slight chance) 4 Probably Fitzsimons lesser chance cooper barret harrisson 5 Colm Boyle 6 Tiernan McCann 7 Jack Mc Caffrey If this isn't the half back line there is something wrong 8 James Mc Carthy 9 Parsons\colm Cavanagh\ aidan osea Parsons is my favourite but if osea has a good game he could take it. 10 Kevin McGloghlan 11 Ciarain Kilkenny 12 Paul Mannion 13 Andy Moran 14 Paul Geaney 15 Con O'Callaghan That full forward line though !!!! royalcounty1 (Meath) - Posts: 15 - 30/08/2017 14:36:27 2040758 Link
In my opinion you start this team with McCarthy & Parsons and fill everyone in around them How some can say Cavanagh beats me he played as a defender The 2 mentioned have proven themselves time and time again Mayo in particular have been a shambles when Parsons hasn't played McCarthy no need to say anything about him Been a rock for Dublin cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 30/08/2017 17:56:05 2040840 Link

Replying To tiobraid: "McCarthy is player of the year so far. And people have Parsons in the team ahead of him! I've lost faith in humanity!" Both McCarthy and Parsons should be selected, Mayo have nine championship games played this year, I expect they will do well in regard to All-Star selection this year. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 30/08/2017 20:07:49 2040868 Link

Obvsiously final could change things, There is always one unsung bolter who nabs an allstar out of nowhere based on a good final HuddHastings (Longford) - Posts: 144 - 31/08/2017 10:11:19 2041030 Link
Is O'Callaghan eligible for YPOTY? A shoe in if he is, which means he'll probably miss out on the All Star as they generally don't give them both in football. Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 31/08/2017 11:53:49 2041092 Link

Obvsiously final could change things, There is always one unsung bolter who nabs an allstar out of nowhere based on a good final" Mayo will get more than four All-Stars this year as they won and drew matches as a result of many outstanding individual performances, They will have played ten championship matches this year which is a wonderful opportunity to show case their outstanding players. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 31/08/2017 12:49:35 2041118 Link

I won't be surprised if the All Stars largely mirror the Sunday Gane team if last night, 7 Dubs 7 Mayo and 1 Kerry give a fair assesment of where football is at right now Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 18/09/2017 11:23:29 2047345 Link
Would agree with the majority of Sunday Game selection but would think Dean Rock, Colm Kavanagh , Kieran Donaghy and Ciaran Kilkenny are in with a good shout. Adamski (Dublin) - Posts: 339 - 18/09/2017 11:49:13 2047372 Link
