Aidan o shea wouldn't get near the top 100 never mind the top 15.

Hard to see how Diarmuid Connnolly squeezed in: he has only 1 All Star, Colm Cooper and Paul Mannion have 3.
I think Aidan O Shea has a good case: only 7 players have more All Stars.

Stop 2014 how O'Donoghue won a Player of the Year over Connolly was a disgrace. Because Spillane cruxified him on the Sunday Game.....

But Connolly got more red cards and suspensions than gooch and mannion :-)

Being honest I can't see how they picked Connolly either.

No we weren't good enough jackeen simple as that but some of ye try to make out that our team from this decade was just as good or even better than our team of the decade before.

To be fair Kerry team of this decade showed up against the likes of Tyrone unlike the team of noughties who shyed in the tight games.

2011, 13. 15, 16, 17, 19. Did he win a couple clubs too? When I was in Flannans I think he beat us in All Ireland College final with dublin colleges.

it is difficult to argue with a detailed, intelligent, fact based and especially well written argument like that.

I'd say he'll get at least 5/6 more as well.

I'd doubt it, unless he transfers to Galway. The 'Tribe for 5' starts in 2020.
