McFadden could be out there now and he still wouldn't get a kick.

not as insane as having Ryan McHugh in instead of Paul Flynn

[mrdeeds]

Independent have Colm McFadden unlucky to miss out. That's the most insane.

Have to say the SG team picked isn't too bad.

Honestly can't see Durcan getting the gk spot after the AIF and neither will Cluxton after the AISF. A safe solid keeper will and should get it . No one sticks out though.

POTY imo should be Neil McGee but O'Donoghue would be a worthy winner as well and he will get it.

McGee has been outstanding all year, his record against his direct opponents (all of whom were among the best players in the country) was outstanding. Conceded very little scores from play and popped up with a few points himself. O'Donoghue was poor yesterday but probably done just enough in previous games to edge the award.

JOD was far from poor on Sunday. Watch the game again. Was played a good distance out, dont think anyone had anymore possessions and he played killer passes for a few key scores. Has had a brilliant campaign but Connolly for me has been by some distance the player of the year

It was hard enough to watch it once, but watch it again? No thanks! O'Donoghue's job is to score and he was outscored by his direct opponent Neil McGee. Connolly is the best player in the country but I think O'Donoghue done enough in games up until the final (albeit against some defensively naieve opponents) to win the POTY award.

Johnny Buckley is a very under the radar footballer.

O'Donoghue's job in that game wasn't to 'score'. It was to come out the field, get on the ball, and try leave space inside for Geaney and Donaghy. I'm sure Fitzmaurice knew that McGee would be on him, and it had the extra benefit of dragging him out the field so he couldn't get involved in stopping the others as well. I think O'Donoghue made a couple of bad decisions with the ball, but I wouldn't hold the fact that he didn't score against him. In fact I admire his willingness to do the dog work and let other be the hero this time around. A mark of maturity.

I would agree more with the independent's team than the sunday game's one. Marc O'Se we outstanding in the final - barely gave McFadden a kick - and always stood up when counted.

Not so sure about leaving Flynn out but think AIdan O'Shea has to be in there somewhere.

on ability yes but by god he one horrible hoor on the pitch,playacting,diving etc but he got his karma v kerry when he split himself shortly after trying to grab maher by the gonads (felt sorry for o'connor though)

[Jinxy]

He didn't try to grab him by the gonads.
He tried to pinch him.
Which, in a way, is much much worse.

grab pinch,whatever way you look at it lowest of the low

[Jinxy]

Pinching someone's foot is the lowest of the low.
