Replying To GeniusGerry:  "Brilliant post Furlong. Séamus Moynihan started out at right half back and was on a different level entirely to everyone else. He was probably the best footballer in the country from around 1999 to 2004. I'd put him ahead of Tomas O'Se and Jack McCaffery personally as an all rounder. He was good at everything. They even put him in full back when they were badly stuck and he was brilliant there too.

McCaffery is the most dynamic player in football now and very likely POTY again. If David Moran has a monster final and Kerry win he might pip him but it's unlikely"
Thanks for the comments Geniusgerry. Moynihan was some defender. He wasnt a natural full back yet when he played there in 2000 he was footballer of the year and main reason kerry won Sam in 2000. He did brillant job on Padraig Joyce at the time in drawn and replay All Ireland final. This was a time when Joyce was at peak of his powers and best forward in the country. Moynihan is the Paul McGrath of gaelic football. The most naturally talented defender I ever saw play the game.

Replying To Lockjaw:  "I think it's getting to the stage where they need to pick one All Star team based on the two finalists and another All Star team based on the rest.

Send the two teams away on a holiday somewhere and let them play an exhibition match.

My non-Dublin-Kerry All Star team would be:

1. Patton - Donegal

2. McMenamin - Donegal
3. McNamee - Tyrone
4. Lavin - Meath

5. Keoghan - Meath
6. Boyle - Mayo
7. Durcan - Mayo

8. O'Shea - Mayo
9. Brennan - Clare

10. M Donnelly - Tyrone
11. Murphy - Donegal
12. McHugh - Donegal

13. Cox - Roscommon
14. McShane - Tyrone
15. McVeety - Cavan"
Great post and a good idea. That'd be some game

Jack Mccafery

I think Jack will get it and i hope Sean O'Shea gets young player he has been brillant all year. Might be a unpopular opinion but i think he gives alot more than clifford.

Heres looking forward to the replay

Clifford got a roasting the last day. It will stand to him the next day. His stock will rise.

McCaffrey shone the last day. He should have been countered on that day. He probably won't get so lucky two days running. His stock will remain as it is.

McNamee in the FB line ahead of Hampsey surely.

No way Donegal are getting 2 in the forwards and Kerry only 1.

2 from Clifford, O'Brien and Kilkenny to replace McHugh and Murphy, albeit it will be unfair on Murphy when he's left out.


Saying Cluxton should get it every year is madness, and buying into the over hype of him in the media. But he'll get it this year.

Ye cos that's how the world works! Both could perform exactly the same as the last day or not at all. There are no guarantees.

Cluxton is virtually guaranteed the goals this year as he has been the best goalkeeper in the championship.

What are the thoughts on what he might do at the end of the season? He is playing at such a high level but if they complete the drive for five he will never get a better opportunity to bow out at the top

Good shout on Keoghan actually.

Yeah, Cluxton has been the best this year and should and will get it.
He wasn't last year and lost out to Beggan, Clarke the previous year, etc. .

McHugh got an undeserved All Star last year. No chance he gets a second.
