Good lord.
It takes serious work to get that size.
He must get up in the middle of the night to have a snack box.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Reckon Lacey has any chance?  I have £2.50 on him at 150/1 with Paddy Power???  Might get the missus her Xmas present.

When you get him at that price

Alan Brogan . Sin E.

Nobody comes close in consistency and sheer brilliance this year for me.

Any justice its Alans.

Too many balls into the Donegal keeper's hands in the semi for me (hardly "brilliant"). Cluxton's the man, Dublin would not, could not, have won it without him.
Carlsberg don't do Gombeenocracies, but by jaysus if they did...

Same v Wexford & i remember reading article that highlighted Alan Brogan's poor kicking. IMO the best part of Dublin's team was their defence & keeper.
The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

Playing all their matches at home didnt do them any harm either

Alan Brogan was very poor in the AI semi-final. POTY should be consistently excellent in every game which Lacey was so hardly a question of justice.

Cluxton's kick-outs weren't quite at their best in the final. He kind of made up for that though...

Cluxton or Lacey in my book and Brogan, while very good, shouldn't get it.

Alan may have kicked four wides against Donegal (with 13 defenders hanging out of him) but was excellent in every other aspect of the game - winning ball, finding a teammate etc.

He was on the balll 25 times and gave the ball away once.

Lacey was average for the 42 minutes he was on the pitch against Dublin

20/9/2011 - tried to post a snipping tool image of the bet but I dont know how to post an image from a file.  Doubt he'll win it, think Cluxton will but £2.50 was worth a shot.

Alan Brogan played 6 championship matches in 2011 - got man of the match in 3 of them, lead the line for Dublin excellently in all 6 matches and was pivotal to Dublin's attacking play throughout AI final including kicking 2 super points! If that doesn't demonstrate consisyency I don't know what does?

Lacey is a fine player but will not come close. Darren O'Sullivan will push Brogan all the way while Cluxton is a dark horse if they decide to go for something different!

Lacey was consistently brilliant in every game. Brogan was not brilliant in every game. He was brilliant in some and good in others.

Ummm... yes.

Minus the parts he could barely stand up.
