MICHAEL MURPHY’S deployment on the half-forward line leaves space for another Allstar for one of the inside forwards selected. James O’Donoghue and Cillian O’Connor were on free-scoring form throughout the summer and they should get the nod in either corner.
That looks to leave a straight-out battle between two Kerrymen, Kieran Donaghy and Paul Geaney, for the full-forward spot, with none of the other contenders posting strong enough form to threaten them.
Full-forward line nominees:
Kieran Donaghy (Kerry)
Paul Geaney (Kerry)
Conor McManus (Monaghan)
Cillian O’Connor (Mayo)
