Replying To ConnollyDub: "He hasn't picked a single dub in his whole team selection. Gk, defenders, midfielders or forwards. I mean this from a team that won 7 all Irelands form a possible 10 on offer. No team has ever achieved that. Yet he doesn't think they deserve even one player on the team...laughable And the thing is i don't even think he is a WUM. He's just a bitter, jealous old man" Thanks for pointing that out.... he didn't choose a single Dublin player in the whole 15 from this decade.... wow He clearly doesnt know anything about football....

10 Diarmuid Connolly 11 Aidan O'Shea 12 Ciaran Kilkenny 13 Conor McManus 14 Michael Murphy 15 Kevin McManamon (For the all the games he came on and turned things round or closed out for Dublin) Definitely the hardest line to choose from have to give special mentions to the Brogan brothers, Dean Rock, Andy Moran, Kieran Donaghy and Colm Cooper.

Replying To Joxer: "Diarmuid Connolly Michael Murphy Paul Flynn Bernard Brogan Conor McManus Ciaran Kilkenny" I didn't think I'd find a line up to agree with so quickly!!! I think that's fairly spot on!!! theweanling (Cavan) - Posts: 414 - 06/12/2019 16:56:54 2253594 Link
Replying To wexico15: "Seen a couple leave out McManus which I find baffling, some of his scores over the years have been outrageous." Best inside forward this decade imo. Himself and Michael Murphy the complete nailed on players up top imo. Everyone else there's at least a debate over but for me it's those 2 plus 4 others.

Replying To Joxer: "LOL. Nice set of subs there, apart from Murphy that is." I'd put my 6 against your 6 any day kid and my 6 would win imo . KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 06/12/2019 20:26:18 2253626 Link

Based solely on All-Star awards the following 6 attackers are ahead of all others with either 3 or 4 awards: Bernard Brogan Michael Murphy Paul Flynn Ciaran Kilkenny Conor McManus Paul Mannion (Aidan O Shea has 3 All-Stars but only 1 was awarded as a forward).

Replying To lilypad: "Aidan oshea always diappointed when needed most, no where near the great players mentioned." Its hardly fair to say that at all. I can only assume that when you say 'needed most' you are referring to the crunch games mayo have played over the years which is their AI finals and semis mainly. I wouldn't say its fair to solely say O'Shea disappointed when needed most, it was more like a Mayo team, who by the way were a fantastic team worthy of an AI, that didn't quite have the know how to get over the line and dictate a close game in the dying stages. To pick out 1 or 2 of Mayos 'bigger players' as the fault for this wouldnt be completely correct. in all fairness now big O'Shea was and is a superb footballer, I wouldnt have much to argue with anyone that did have him in. that being said I probably wouldnt be changing my front 6 to accommodate him but I could possibly have him at Midfield. But to say he is "nowhere near the great players mentioned" above is very foolish. What a player and servant he has been for Mayo. Definitely deserves some recognition. boman11 (Antrim) - Posts: 237 - 08/12/2019 15:17:39 2253815 Link
