Hurling All-Stars 2013

Tony Kelly may become one of te greats but thatā€™s a silly statement. In terms if consistent midfield play heā€™s not even the best midfielder in Clare. Galvin is super at what he does and I would say understands the role better. Kelly fades too much to be considered the best midfielder. He is very easy on the eye, and his inspiration thru skillful moves is worth a lot but he has someway to go yet. He was snuffed out at half forward more than once this year so thatā€™s an even less fair statement.

Tomas Waters :clap::clap::clap:

Over the year Harnedy should have got a POTY nominee, ahead if Horgan I think. Consistency has to be rewarded.

It seems silly having 2 guys nominated for 2 awards. Surely it kinda defeats the purpose.

Not true. The great Ollie Walsh left in 6 in the 1963 Final and went home with a winners medal.

Mossy Waters transformation is complete, a pity he may never grace the game again

The Ollie Walsh precedent has already been alluded to on this thread a few hours back.

Simlpy not true. Shanahan won 4 or 5 balls in the first half that were put on a plate for him by a dominant half backline, McInerney won a heap of ball in both halves.

Canā€™t believe Mulcahy got a nomination, he the 3rd best player in our full forward line this year

It just goes to show that alot if these awards/nominations are based in reputation. Thereā€™s a few other questionable ones in there too.

Zane Keenan was more worthy of an All Star nomination than Mulchahy, cunts :mad:

Who?

Did Walter Walsh get nominated last year?

No, and rightly so.

Top scorer from play in the championship, why wouldnā€™t he be? Single handedly beat Wexford and Cork one could argue

Would have featured in every game bar the drawn final I believe. Starting in three and coming on as a sub in three. Scored goals in each game he started

Not one youā€™d have called before the replay game Mac, thatā€™s merely what Iā€™m saying.

Then why not put that in your original post?
