Kobe what has Tommy Walsh done to get an all star this year? He'd want to be amazing in the final to justify one IMO.Batter they're supposed to be individual awards but in a way I agree and Limerick nearly "deserve" one. I think the only realistic candidate is Tom Condon though. Maybe if Tyrell has a poor game in the final he could sneak in.Expect Donnellan to get one if he has a decent game in the final, and midfield is down to whoever is more impressive in the final, Tannian or Smith. Hopefully Moran gets the other.A lot of candidates for YHOTY in the final too, it's probably between Joyce, Doyle and Burke.

tommy did get MOTM against limerick but agreed he would need a good final to justify selection.
joyce is 4 years overage for YHOTY, he's 25.

Haha! Taxi for me... possibly my most ignorant post ever! Having not seen him before this year I got the impression somehow he was the same age as Doyle.

I'd swap you Richie Power for TJ Reid at 11 - Power has been very poor all season IMHO, while Reid was excellent against Dublin, Limerick and Tipp - but otherwise thats who'd I'd be picking as well. Also agree with you on HOTY, whoever comes out on top in that duel could well seal it.

I'd say Mullane could be in with a shout after his one man attempt at beating Cork this year.Has Henry really done that much so far to merit an allstar?If he's a good sunday then fair enough, but I'm not so sure he'd deserve one yet, but he'll get one all the same.

would agree with you on the player awards. coen nigh on a cert, and cannings to lose with delaney main opposition. so checked out prices with shoddy shower and they have delaney priced up at 14/1! that's gotta be worth a small wager?

Shefflin was very good in both the Limerick and Tipp games?Does anybody know which club has won most All Stars? I'd say James Stephans?

Obviously with the final on this week, there are still a few spots that could swing either way depending on who wins it. I'll have a stab at them now with another of my famous predictions!1. Anthony Nash2. Jackie Tyrell (guaranteed if he has a decent day on Joe)
3. JJ Delaney
4. Fergal Moore5. Tommy Walsh
6. Brian Hogan
7. Johnny Coen8. Kevin Moran
9. Andy Smith10. David Burke
11. TJ Reid
12. Damien Hayes13. Colin Fennelly
14. Joe Canning (HOTY)
15. Henry ShefflinA rough draft to be fair, will obviously be different depending on who wins, as the winners generally get 8-9 of the awards every year. Bonnar Maher was in contention up until the KK fiasco which is a real shame as he is a quality player. He may still even get one but I doubt it. What would your opinions be?

Yes Delaney at 14s is great value genuinely feel he has been the HOTY so far Leinster Final showed how important he is to KK if he marks Canning and keeps him quiet I think he should win it if Canning has a good day win or lose he will probably end up with it.

I honestly think that if Damien Hayes performs well in the final this Sunday & Galway win, he will be hurler of the year. At 20/1 he is worth a small flutter imo.If KK win then it is hard to look past JJ at 10/1. I see he has shortened from 14/1, paddy must be watching.
