Murdock is without doubt a great prospect, but McEvoy has been competing against the cream of the crop. If Derry were to face Kerry next season I wouldn't be suprised if he is given the task of marking Clifford and McKaigue picking up the likes of Geaney.

Even as a Down man I'd have to concede that McEvoy would be well ahead of Murdock is the running for young poty.

The criteria for "young" is pretty broad from memory. I would say Gannon would qualify for it too and he's a good one but McEvoy definitely should be right up there with the best of them.

I think it's still U21. Not 100%

Should be U23 in my opinion as there's been a few years lately where there has only been a very limited pick of eligible players.

Jack Glynn won it last year and he'd have been u22.

He certainly didn't hit the heights this year. Looked very average

Geaney be doing very well to be there next year. He's been on borrowed time for about five years.

Missed a lot of the league with injuries and picked up a bad knock to the face when Burns was sent of against Tyrone. Only for having a steel plate from a previous break he'd have broken the jaw again.

Most Dublin players are much older.they

Jack Glynn won it last year and he'd have been u22.

Some lad gonna have to go back and have another try at it lol.

If going on the standard principle** that you're only as good as your last game, we are looking at:

Ryan or Cluxton

G O'Sullivan
M Fitzsimmons
Open. Maybe Eoghan McEvoy if Derry don't get anyone further up the field. Maybe Davy Byrne.

G White
Open. Could be Foley, Gannon, James McCarthy **, Conor McCarthy
K O'Connell

B Rogers
B Howard

C Kilkenny
S O'Shea
Open. They might shove Howard in here and give Fenton one. Could be Paudie Clifford. Mad bastards might try to get Conor McManus one.

P Mannion
D Clifford
S McGuigan

** the standard principle is ignored for legendary players who contribute to their side getting to a final, no matter what they do in the final. So James McCarthy is a cert.

——

Looking back through this, it's not really been a season of high calibre individual performances. I'd guess McCarthy or Clifford were the shoo ins for POTY (depending on the match outcome) until 2 hours ago. Now I don't know.

Blowitupref

I'm going to guess

Stephen Cluxton (Dublin)
Gareth Mckinless (Derry) Michael Fitzsimons (Dublin) Graham O'Sullivan (Kerry)
Gavin White (Kerry) James McCarthy (Dublin) Conor McCarthy (Monaghan)
Diarmuid O'Connor (Kerry) Brian Fenton (Dublin)
Paul Mannion (Dublin) Con O'Callaghan (Dublin) Sean O'Shea (Kerry)
Shane McGuigan (Derry) David Clifford (Kerry) Colm Basquel (Dublin)


Dublin 7
Kerry 5
Derry 2
Monaghan 1

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
