Replying To Ollie2:  "Sam Mulroy will get one."
He wont Bud. I like Mulroy alot and I think he is top player but he has nt a hope. To win an all star you would have to get to a quarter final.He did win leinster but tbh I cant see him getting an all star.I dont think Dublin will get any all star unless Bugler sneaks one and we have a better chance than yous as we went further.Dont get me wrong I would be very happy to see Mulroy win one.I have top regard for Mulroy.

He should.
And I think Meath will get 2, with probably 5 nominated.

All these assumptions and all-star talk a waste of time until after final. 80% will be based on last 3 fixtures. Someone who steps up in final 2 matches that has been plodding along will outdo another player that was better up to that point. Saying such a team will get this amount or that amount is impossible to figure out.

He'll get one.

Whether he should or not isn't clear until the semis and final are played.

But I can't see Louth's Leinster win not being recognised by the selection committee.

Dublin havent a hope of getting an All Star. Not in Football anyway.

Louth will defo get one in recognition of their Leinster Championship win.

As always, the majority will be made up of the 2 finalists.

It's hard to believe that 2007 was the last time Meath won an All Star with Stephen Bray receiving it. I would love to see Donal Keoghan getting one or Matthew Costello or even both.

how Graham Reilly didnt get one in 2010 defies belief, top scorer from play in ireland that year

Was he nominated that year?

Replying To winatallcost:  "Talk about a Kerry bias. Foley and Paudi Clifford at this stage. You must be joking. Probably about 50 genuine nominations and wouldn't have either yet in those 50."
In fairness that side is looking more and more likely

Not after today...
Keoghan hopping the ball twice in front of the hill was schoolboy stuff

Replying To shaggykev:  "I've looked into the future and the team is as follows

1 Rory Beggan
2 Finnbarr Roarty
3 Brendan McCole
4 Sean Rafferty
5 Donal Keoghan
6 Kieran McGeary
7 Ciaran Moore
8 Brian Kennedy
9 Joe O'Connor
10 Michael Langan
11 Sean O Shea
12 Ciaran Daly
13 David Clifford
14 Michael Murphy
15 Jordan Morris"
Still not too far away.

Maybe Langan into midfield to free up another place for O Donnell.

If one of the full forwards go gang busters in final, take Morris spot. He was very quiet today.

He was nominated in the half forwards. Johnny Doyle, Marty Clarke and Danny Hughes were picked on the half forward line for the 2010 team.

You couldn't give Donegal an All-Star in midfield if it's not Hugh McFadden.

So a player making one mistake after 16 years service means no All Star??

That's the level of schoolboy knowledge we come to expect on here.

All Stars based on this year's championship, not his career...
He had a poor game today , and didn't stand out in championship.

It's bordering on Mayoness with the rubbish I'm reading about Meath..

I would think costello would pick one up. Don't think keoghan did enough although he had a good year. Morris missed really all of the leinster campaign through Injury. If meath had have won leinster final costello probably man of the match.
