    How is Brogan on it in fairness?

    I think its a better team to be honest and pretty much spot on.
    Paul Galvin getting picked proves that the theory that players might hold grudges to be a myth.
    Ciaran Whelan and Killian Young were in my opinion the only two unlucky to not make it.
    I know alot of people think Brogan (Alan) had a poor season but I disagree. I think he deserves his place.
    Anyone suggest who should have got No 11 before him

    actually I think Bernard had a very impressive season and was unlucky to be taken off a lot (imo) at the wrong times (bringing Cossie on out of the blue against Kerry was madness)... but he's maybe not that level yet.

    I think Rory Woods of Monaghan had a super year and could have been named at 11 - had 14 on his back but regularly played deeper. Anthony Moyles of Meath played a similar role well too and Geraghty could arguably have been worth a place either. Kind of a toss up between them and Alan Brogan, though, so I can accept any decision.

    On the others, can't believe Whelan missed out - think he was the best midfielder in the country and for me, the battle should be between Ó Sé and Murphy to partner him. Delighted to see Darren Fay and Galvin in there - I never saw why everyone thought Canty was a nailed-on All-Star at full-back, thought Fay or McCloy deserved it. And Galvin - well, the man's an unbelievable footballer, 'nuff said
