Yesterday saw yet another master class by the best half back in Ireland Dessie Mone he kicked four points and was outstanding throughout, he is the best player in the last 10 years never to win an all star. Does it week in week out and doesn't get the credit he deserves just because he's not from Dublin,Donegal,Mayo or Kerry. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1923 - 16/03/2015 18:22:18 1703536 Link 0 |

He's a fine player shaggy but very few All Stars are handed to players from teams who don't win provincial titles. One provincil title in 10 years was always going to make things difficult for him MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 16/03/2015 19:07:26 1703559 Link 0 |
How he has never got an all star is beyond me. He has been Monaghan's best player for years now. Four times nominated for an all star but never gets the individual accolades he deserves. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1923 - 16/03/2015 19:08:42 1703562 Link 0 |
Excellent half back.i always had him in my fantasygaelic team but always had to change him come start of august as Monaghan never made it past the quarters,pity. shantygael (Derry) - Posts: 25 - 16/03/2015 19:16:28 1703571 Link 0 |
He is also underrated in his capacity to dive for frees I feel, in his many sorties forward each game. On that aspect alone, he might have had a career diving for penos in the Premiership too. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 3395 - 16/03/2015 19:30:44 1703577 Link 0 |
Hoganstand have Dessie down as a half forward on their team of the week.. in actual fact he played as sweeper the whole of the match but when he went forward carrying the ball out of defence he scored 4 long range shots that any forward in the country would have been proud off. He really is an inspirational player.. Farney (Monaghan) - Posts: 798 - 16/03/2015 19:43:35 1703583 Link 0 |
Good going forward and a good player in general but there are better half backs out there in fairness. TheMaster (Mayo) - Posts: 16187 - 16/03/2015 19:43:47 1703584 Link 0 |
That's fair enough Muckross, but the year we did win Ulster he was consistently top class, and the performance he put in against yourselves in the final was one of the best by a wing-back in a while imo. And in fact last year when I think the HB line was much more open, he was even better and was excellent all year. Even in our bad defeats he was our best player and never gave up trying. patk (Monaghan) - Posts: 936 - 16/03/2015 19:52:48 1703588 Link 0 |

Don't think he is under rated .I'd imagine he'd be close to most peoples best fifteen in Ireland (he's in mine).I can't think f too many wingbacks that are better than him. uibhfhaili1986 (Offaly) - Posts: 1296 - 16/03/2015 21:01:01 1703618 Link 0 |
He might get a run out in the league for our boys alright to give him a chance. You never know with a few injuries in the half back line he could sneak into our championship panel but space is limited. KY4SAM2015 (Kerry) - Posts: 898 - 16/03/2015 21:08:10 1703621 Link 0 |
In 2007 when he played corner back he held Benny Coulter, Paddy Bradley, Owen Mulligan, Brendan Devenny and Colm Cooper to a goal from play between them. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1923 - 17/03/2015 09:37:07 1703671 Link 0 |

Not talking about all stars at all. Just citing a player who doesn't get the credit he deserves shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1923 - 17/03/2015 11:57:31 1703704 Link 0 |
