The All-Stars have caused great debate among GAA fans ever since its conception, as the subjective nature of its selection always leaves a section of people unhappy.
Typically the team is made up mostly from those who competed in the All-Ireland final, with the winners getting the lion's share of nominations.
Heroics in the provincial championship and National League rarely get much notice, and if you were having an average season but managed a Man of the Match performance in the semi-final or final, then you are almost certain to get a spot.
In typical Pat Spillane fashion, the Kerry legend has went a little left-field with some of his picks, and had some changes when it came to the nominations.
Writing in his weekly Sunday World Column, the eight-time All-Ireland winner even claimed that the dull forward line is "probably going to be the weakest of any team ever selected."
"The full-forward line is probably going to be the weakest of any team ever selected, and that’s all down to packed defences rather than the quality or otherwise of the contenders.
"One point from play from the respective full-forward lines in the All-Ireland final says it all.
"For me, the main player-of-the-year award should go to Paul Conroy with Johnny McGrath as young player of the year for his consistency throughout 2024 – but with Armagh being All-Ireland champions, that won’t happen."
A lot of people will agree with Spillane's selection of players though, including one "wild card" that was picked on the back of the player's impressive scoring ratio.

Pat Spillane's 2024 All-Star Team
1. Blaine Hughes, Armagh (17 games, 14 clean sheets)
2. Aaron McKay, Armagh (Armagh’s best defender all year)
3. Barry McCambridge, Armagh (Brilliant man-marker - also scored 2-5; that goal v Kerry was icing on the cake)
4. Johnny McGrath, Galway (Most consistent man-marking defender in league and championship)
5. Peadar Mogan, Donegal (Attacking wing back who scored 0-13 in this year’s championship)
6. Aidan Forker, Armagh (A true inspirational leader)
7. Dylan McHugh, Galway (Mr Consistency, but a subdued final could cost him player of the year)
8. Paul Conroy, Galway (Inspirational for a man of 35, scored 2-16 from play)
9. Ben Crealey, Armagh (The assist to Campbell for McKay’s goal, and that vital late turnover on Cillian McDaid)
10. Sam Mulroy, Louth (My wild card, the second highest scorer in the championship with 3-43)
11. John Maher, Galway (Powerful, strong runner - great year)
12. OisÍn Conaty, Armagh (Man of the match in the final with 0-3, 0-13 in the championship - great pace)
13. OisÍn Gallen, Donegal (Third highest championship scorer with 2-33, 1-15 from play)
14. Rian O’Neill, Armagh (Came good at the business end and such a versatile player)
15. Conor Turbitt, Armagh (Up to the final was in player of the year form, scored 3-22)
Donegal fans could feel a little short changed with the likes of Ryan McHugh enjoying a brilliant season, but otherwise, the only player that didn't make Spillane's team from The Sunday Game's selection earlier in the summer was Rob Finnerty, who was replaced by Sam Mulroy.
