Brian Howard deserves an All Star after his performance today and POTY should go to Jack.m GormlaighG (Mayo) - Posts: 77 - 02/09/2019 02:25:56 2231654 Link
Replying To winatallcost: "Sean O'Shea has to get an all star now!" Was just thinking the same. That could be Murphy missing out now. Midfield will be Fenton & Moran 10. O'Brien 11. O'Shea 12. Mannion 13. Clifford 14. McShane 15. O'Callaghan Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9132 - 02/09/2019 08:41:15 2231694 Link
Do Meath lads still think keoghan is a better half back than McCaffrey? Jack McCaffrey is the greatest half back of all time there's never been a half back like him. He's nearly our motm in every big game, 1-3 yesterday crazy stuff, poor Gavin White was all over the shop. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 02/09/2019 08:53:31 2231699 Link
Replying To essmac: "Every year, awards dominated by teams who get to final and semis. There is little to recognise great players from weaker counties. Maybe no team should have more than say 3?" Or do the sensible thing and spit championship up. Why would someone from a lesser county deserve one if someone from Kerry/Dublin etc played better than them? hopballref (Galway) - Posts: 377 - 02/09/2019 09:27:21 2231714 Link

No doubt about it and the way he stood up when Dublin were really struggling in that second half was amazing. You were finding scores hard to come by as Kerry were on top but Jack popped over a few unbelievable points. What a player. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 02/09/2019 12:19:49 2231818 Link

It's crazy to say it about a wing back, but the opposition simply have to man-mark him. He does that much damage. Durcan is the only man I've seen that's been able to curtail him.

Replying To Pullhard1985: "with only 1 game to go things looking a lot clearer on the allstar front, obviously there is the possibility somebody cpuld have a stormer/nightmare in final that gets/costs them an allstar but id say at least 13 of the following are nailed on, with one or 2 debatable and Stephen McMenamin/Geaney/Sean o shea/John Small/Howard very, very close... Cluxton - Dublin Keogan - Meath McNamee - Tyrone O'Sullivan - Kerry Durcan - Mayo Boyle - Mayo McCaffrey - Dublin Fenton - Dublin Moran - Kerry Mannion - Dublin Murphy - Donegal O'Brien - Kerry Clifford - Kerry McShane - Tyrone Callaghan - Dublin Discuss?" I now need to find a place for Howard and Sean o'shea in that forward line now after yesterday There will be some amount of squabbling when allstars comes around,the 8 forwards are mention might all be considered shoo-ins Pullhard1985 (USA) - Posts: 68 - 02/09/2019 13:54:57 2231886 Link
also Tadgh Morley could end up pipping McNamee for the fullback position, he was immense yesterday Pullhard1985 (USA) - Posts: 68 - 02/09/2019 14:08:55 2231891 Link
Hard to narrow down to 6 forwards. Clifford will probably get in on his reputation but I'd have him just missing out. Con, Mannion, SOS and SOB are the top 4. Then 2 from Clifford, Howard, McShane and Murphy. Could shoehorn Howard into the halfback line. He deserves his allstar anyway. Midfield is all locked up, Fenton and Moran. Keeper is locked up, Cluxton Cooper played his way out of an allstar yesterday. I'd have Mick Fitz and McCaffrey. Tom O'Sulivan and Paddy Durcan, another Kerry defender plus the lad Keoghan from Meath. Sin é. Pantani (Dublin) - Posts: 48 - 02/09/2019 14:11:18 2231892 Link

If Tadgh Morley has another good game in the final he will get an all star Past hurler (None) - Posts: 725 - 02/09/2019 14:20:54 2231901 Link

Murphy never underperformed to the extent Fenton did yesterday. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 508 - 02/09/2019 14:33:20 2231908 Link

Hard to say Cooper played his way off all star team when he hardly had played his onto it. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 508 - 02/09/2019 14:46:03 2231915 Link

John Small doesn't get a mention but every player he marks he always get's the better of them , again yesterday O Brien was kept very quiet. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 02/09/2019 15:28:59 2231936 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "John Small doesn't get a mention but every player he marks he always get's the better of them , again yesterday O Brien was kept very quiet." John Small plays on the edge all the time and needs watching from referees. Could be a good bet to be first player in history to be sent off in three national finals of any sport in the replay. winatallcost (Meath) - Posts: 508 - 02/09/2019 15:48:59 2231943 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "Didn't get a kick against Paddy Durcan." Mayo win many battles against Dublin but ultimately lose the war. They do great man marking jobs on noted players but it just frees up someone else to do the damage. Paddy could have been sacrificed to mark any number of players but ulitmatley, like Higgins in 2013, it somewhat limits your best player.

He called Jack Mac the greatest half back of all time. That's debatable to be honest. I just pointed out Durcan destroyed him and Ryan McHugh. Jack Mc is unreal but not sure what Kerry were at.
