Armagh and Westmeath did not manage to get into the All Ireland Quarter finals this year but still managed to get an All Star. After the year that Diarmuid Murtagh had this year in both the National League and championship I think he was very unlucky not to get an All Star.
Well done to all the winners.

Diarmuid had a great year and if we make a quarter final after winning Connaught, he probably gets in. But in general, the full forward line will usually represent the 2 teams that make the All Ireland final. If we win one of those knockout games, he gets another game in a quarter final and then his scoring numbers are even higher.
Deserved the nomination but just pipped by the Kerry and Mayo full forward line which was inevitable.

I definitely agree with your sentiment but Diarmuid had a few things running against him, the biggest is the weight attached to those who make the latter stages and add to that the amount of high quality forwards now on show with the new rules so the competition for those slots, especially the front line, is huge. No Armagh or Westmeath forward will make it into that top 6 of the pitch (as good as Conaty is) and we just didn't have anyone who did enough to get nominated for the back 6. There wasn't even room for Paudi Clifford. Disappointing to be the only provincial winner with no All Star and bet better opposition than Westmeath to win that provincial. We needed to win one of those All Ireland series games for Diarmuid to have a realistic chance unfortunately.

Replying To Dazzler30: "Congrats to Ronan Wallace great captain and leader led by example all year. Was always going to be a toss up between him and Wittaker to get one but isnt that a great complaint to have that nobody would of forseen this time 12 months ago.
interested to hear peoples starting championship Westmeath team no injuries just the best 15 and 5 subs that in the county now its the most exciting year coming for a long time and we may not even be in sam maguire but the crowds will be out im sure more than ever." Well done to Ronan Wallace! Hard luck to the other three lads as well. It's a massive achievement just to be nominated for an All Star. That said, I did think Wallace deserved it if only one was going to be selected.
Looking in to next season as mentioned its the most exciting year we have had in a long time to long forward too. I know we are a still division 3 team and are not going to be in the All Ireland unless we reach Leinster final but I beleive we have top 8 panel in the country.
55 players named here. Some players might not make themselves available but in my opinion this is the best 55 players in the county by position. Try picking a 26 man panel if everyone was fit would be very hard for McHugh!
Have I missed anyone? I would like to hear everyones opinion.

Congrats to our six all stars winners. Two great interviews with Andy Moran and Jack Carney were released this week. What grounded and articulate men they are. Anyone thinking Mayo will be happy with one All Ireland and disappear off into the sunset are severely mistaken. Up Mayo !

Replying To martyW: "Well done to Ronan Wallace, great achievement! Great to see such a spread of counties getting awards, with counties playing more games than ever its about time the focus moved away from the 2 finalists" Judging by the other wing back winner we are unlucky not to have two.
Congratulations to Wallace and his club Multyfarnham.

Replying To Viking66: "Great to see the spread of counties represented. Thought Whittaker was better than Wallace of Westmeaths 2 wingbacks this year. He was one of the best Footballers I saw play all year. Jarly Burns an interesting selection, great player ok but better last year. Good to see Niall Scully get one, really underrated Footballer. O'Hanlon capping a great season with an All Star is good to see too!" We'll just have to console ourselves by looking at the 3 Connacht football cups.

Replying To Spinx: "If The Downs don't beat Clonguish by at least 15 points, they may pack it in. Clonguish have at least 11 players under 21, none of their squad have ever won a senior championship until this year. At home as well which is a huge advantage. A lot spoken about this Clonguish team, but in my opinion very over rated. The Downs to win 4-17 to 0-12." Is Longford club football that bad? We are coming into November and for a team to be winning a game by at least 15 points at this time of year the opposition would have to be exceptionally bad. Are you saying Clonguish are that bad? I do think The Downs will win relatively comfortably but I would be thinking more so 6-8 points. Something tells me you're a Clonguish man trying to stir things though.

Well done to all the winners." Yes Armagh and Westmeath winning All Stars puts to bed once again that the view a team needs reach the All-Ireland Quarter-final at least to win one.
Armagh like ourselves had two games and two defeats after winning their provincial championship. Beaten by Louth and hammered by Kerry. They had a worse Division 1 campaign than us including a loss to us.
Westmeath after their Leinster success. Beat Cavan after extra-time and lost to Galway and Monaghan. League campaign didn't get out of Division 3.
I agree Diarmuid very unlucky hasn't been 6 better forwards than him over the year ln eague and championship IMO. Kobe McDonald selected in the full forward line played further out he should be named instead of Scully,O Hanlon in the half forward line with Diarmuid at 15.

There will always be some gripes and people will often complain about who should be in, without saying who should be left out in their place.
However, nothing against Jarly Óg, but I was surprised he got an award. I can't say he stood out massively and Armagh were dumped out of the championship quite early. I thought McMorrow had a better and more impactful year.
Paudie is also unlucky, but with O'Donoghue moved out to centre forward as both of Mayo's young guns deservedly got awards inside, it left limited room.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Maybe but Dublin never getting 2 All Stars in a year they played poorly on at least 2 occasions. If McMorrow got wing back then Oisin Conaty probably get wing forward ahead of NS." Kerry played poorly on at least two occasions, as did Mayo. It was a very even year overall, with no team consistently good. Dublin were extremely unlucky not be in the final. They outplayed Kerry in their semi-final.
