Michael Murphy absolutely has to get one this year,in fact i would have had him down for poty too before their abrupt exit. That defeat to Mayo cant be put at his feet either, he neither put them on his back and dragged them over the line in that one too Pullhard1985 (USA) - Posts: 68 - 14/08/2019 16:02:40 2225670 Link 1 |

If Donegal made the Semi Final or better still the final and he continued to play well. He would have got the nod. I think Cluxton is a sure bet this year. I expect Patton to get a nomination and one of Blaine Hughes, Niall Morgan and Shane Ryan. Gator (Monaghan) - Posts: 238 - 14/08/2019 16:11:48 2225672 Link 0 |

I think Boyle is very likely in there. Mayo are bound to have 1-2 in.

Jayses where would you start here, we haven't a clue until the final is over, a shoe in forward might have a stinker and lose his all star, I mean you have 6 quality Dublin forwards and 6 quality Kerry forwards, who do you drop riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 14/08/2019 16:19:01 2225682 Link 0 |

He'd need a big final to be nominated for POTY and if he happened to a have a poor final he wouldn't get an all star. Happened to Kevin McManamon a few years ago. This all can change based on performances in the final but the 3 nominations for POTY as it stands would have to be Fenton, Stephen O'Brien and Con O'Callaghan and if they go for a 4th Cathal McShane deserves a nomination.

Conor Cox was brilliant in the Connacht championship and will probably still get nominated but his dip in form during the super 8's will cost him an all star this year. Same thing happened to Donegal's Jamie Brennan.

He's not in running for player of the year, he's a 25/1 outsider. How COC is ahead of mannion in the betting for poty I don't know.....mannion has been exceptional, and unmarkable all year.......seems cons stock has risen dramatically since his 2 goals against mayo. Clearly a brilliant player, but I thought up to the roscommon game he had a quiet year, averaging only 2 points a game. Mannion and Stephan obrien were consistantly better all year. Of course COC could have a brilliant final

I'll be annoyed when Murphy doesn't get a POTY nomination he's been that good all year. I know it's just understood majority of All Stars are the finalists and the POTY nominees are all finalists but he has been an absolute colossus this year, best he's ever been and nearly dragged us to the semi-final on his own in Castlebar.

Murphy is class but in their biggest game of the season when Donegal needed him most he kicked wide after wide, for Murphy's standards they were easy wides at that.

You must be joking with Byrne and Cooper in full backline. Cooper might with a man of the match display in final. Alot of good half back this year. I would personally put keogan into fullback line.

You need to look at the All Stars more objectively Clondalklin. You shouldn't just be basing it off a players performance relative to their own standards. You are punishing Murphy because of the standards he has set. That isn't how All Stars should be picked. Cluxton has suffered the same fate in recent years. I think you mentioned that Brian Howard should get one ahead of Murphy. Objectively, as good as Howard has been, have any of his individual performances been at the same level as what Murphy was against Tyrone, Meath or Kerry. Answer it honestly, if you answer yes, you are only kidding yourself. I think Howard does deserve an All Star too by the way, just incase you thought that's what I was getting at. You cant come out with a statement saying Murphy kicked wide after wide against Mayo which simply isn't true. He was colossal in the second half and single handedly dragged Donegal through that game kicking 2 wonder points and a huge goal under pressure. He did hit a couple of wides, but the fact of the matter is if he wasnt on the field, Donegal would have been beat by double figures.
