Good to see eoin ban recognised. Fab player who can play anywhere. Hopefully donegal play him as an attacking half back next year. He reminds me a bit of jack Mc Caffrey but at the moment he lacks a wee bit of strength.

His display in the 4th round qualifiers against us was superb. Probably not enough games though to rule him in. Likely nomination for all star. I think its between Beggan and Cluxton.

I think that is likely, its the fewer games that would hold Brody back. Three will be nominated and it will be hard to call between its gonna be Cluxton or Beggan. I wouldnt complain if any of those three won it. They are all excellent in their position.

Was very surprised they didn't pick Beggan. He seemed a certainty a few weeks ago. I wonder was his brain fart at the end of the semi-final held against him? Marooned (Galway) - Posts: 2198 - 03/09/2018 16:21:39 2138871 Link 0 |
What he did in the last minute against Tyrone might prevent him getting an all star. That was madness and cost Monaghan the match. Judging a goalkeeper's merits is a strange one these days. It's probably in this order. 1. Kickouts 2. Saves 3. Frees (which to my mind shouldn't really come in to play except in a dead heat). 4. The newest evolution of all 'Sweeper Keeper/extra man ala Brody. Again while this adds something new, like free taking, should it be prioritised. I know 7 years ago we probably found it strange rating goalies on kickouts. Beggan may get it because of the frees and he operated up to semi final level. If people were fair and took Beggan, Brody and Cluxton as the 3 nominees the only thing holding Brody back is Laois exited in July. Laois would have been beaten by double scores against Monaghan only for him. Why should the 2 other goalies be placed ahead of him solely because they play for better teams who play in August and September?
