pdempsey, no he didnt. He lined out at 15. Check the picture on the link.

Clondalkin brogan played at ff over the course of the year also. He is probably eligible there aswell.

liam, surely mannion's good games against poorer opposition render that unimportant also? Not really a fair selection process there. O'Connor was the top scorer while carrying a serious injury, that takes some doing in fairness to the lad. He is the most deserving 13 out there.

clondalkindub, all of whom were deserving of a place in the team - the most important part.

I actually voted for donnacha walsh and it didnt come up. Dont know if it was counted or not.

actually, forget my vote for Mannion. On the basis that Bernard will walk away with the 15 shirt, i will vote James O'Donoghue here also.

There has to be better nominations than these?

Agreed! Seems a poor enough selection for this position, all very good players mind but I'm not sure if any of them put in enough for an All-Star?


Especially when Brogan, Freeman, Dunne, McManus, O'Donoghue etc had better seasons and will all presumably be nominated at 15?

Mannion, but if i am honest, by default. Paul had a great Leinster Championship, and scored a vital goal V Kerry, but he was quiet enough in the semi apart from that, also quiet V Cork and went off early in the final.
COC's tally while impressive, was clocked against minimal opposition to render it almost not important.
Goulding is a farcical nomination! He wasnt even a starter for Cork sure!!

I dunno who to pick here so by default I will say Mannion

For years you and the other Dublin posters have been telling us the likes of Meath, Kildare, Mayo are ''minimal opposition'' so by that logic anything any Dublin player has done this year is not important. Or are you back tracking once again?

Moomoo it can't be ignored when voting that Mayo had a very easy route to this years final.

Moomoo, do me a favour. Show me ONE example ever of me saying that Meath and Kildare were minimal opposition
Now I am not incl posts which are obvious to anyone who reads them that i am taking the ****, i mean i want you to show me on example EVER of me seriously siggesting that Meath and Kildare were walkover opposition
And if thats too hard for you, i ask the Meath and Kildare men here, the ones who i know and who know me, have any of you EVER heard me dismiss your counties as walkovers?

Moomoo, as ever the smell of BS off you is sickening

Yes but like iv said for years the Dubs (you being one) have been saying how the like of Meath, Kildare, Mayo are no good so by that logic Dublin have had an easy route to the final does it not?

John Doyle. Kicked some outrageous points this year. Works tirelessly in EVERY game. Probably won't get it due to the block voting but he's still up there with the best of them.

Show me where I've said that? Meath and Kildare are our biggest rivals and there's never much between us apart from this year.

Would Freeman and Dunne be nominated at 14 or 15 I wonder?

Paul Mannion for "that goal" alone deserves it.

Yeah hard to know, full forward lines should perhaps be voted like midfield, bit pointless voting 13/14/15

Are you for real? You've come out and admitted to hating Kildare. At the start of ever championship your making digs at them. If they beat one of the ''weaker'' counties you come on and say '' it was only such and such'' you do the same with Meath and your now doing it with Mayo. IF you try to deny this then you really do live in a word of your own

Master, u cant compare Meath and Kildare to London and Leitrim......surely to God !!


No, but id compare them to galway, donegal and roscommon though... I would compare london's form this year to that of westmeath however. Incidentally, mayo didnt actually play leitrim, but sure what does that matter?

Moomoo while I dont always agree with your views you are 100% correct on this one.
