Who do people see as in the running as we speak? From my own county I would think the standout performers have been Howard and Fenton. Many will pluck for CKK, Clon I know you are president of the fan club buddy :) For me tho, Fenton has been unbelievable this year, better than ever and Howard has shown that he will be a superstar footballer for years to come David Clifford has been the stand out forward this summer along with Conor McManus and both would have rightful claims Tiernan McCann and Colm Cav have been top drawer for Tyrone. McCann in particular is a really classy performer Ryan McHugh, Damien Comer, Daniel Flynn, Rory Beggan all also worth a mention Right now I would go with POTY - Fenton YPOTY - Clifford Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 28/08/2018 16:13:41 2137185 Link
Colm Cavanagh. Probably missed out on MOTM awards because his brother was on the selection committee :-) slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 28/08/2018 17:10:04 2137214 Link
Kilkenny or Fenton , can't be having someone from a team at the moment that has list two games , that said if Tyrone win on Sunday that's exactly what will happen , just my opinion but if there were a transfer window I'd have McManus and Clifford at the drop of a hat on this years play Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 28/08/2018 18:24:36 2137245 Link

Kilkenny, Fenton, Beggan and McManus would be my picks. Colm Kavanagh and a couple of Tyrone lads will be in the mix to and probably get the nod over one of the Monaghan lads in the voting. Probably Lee Keegan or Andy Moran though.:D TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 29/08/2018 09:30:26 2137319 Link
Colm Cavanagh, if he puts in another great performance in the final then he is a cert to deserve it anyway, whether he gets it or not is another thing. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2749 - 29/08/2018 10:08:30 2137323 Link

Trust the donegal man to think a sweeper who marks no one deserves poty get the boat, Ciaran Kilkenny Brian Fenton Jack Mccaffrey or James McCarthy take your pick of them 4 for poty , it will come down to how they all perform next Sunday. Beggan McManus Cavanagh Clifford Deserve mentions for great seasons. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 29/08/2018 11:04:00 2137338 Link

has to Fenton for me, from league through championship, one of the most complete players there is. Also great example to young kids that may have been overlooked at underage to stick with it. Rosineri1 (UK) - Posts: 2099 - 29/08/2018 11:21:31 2137347 Link

Rory Beggan or Brian Fenton. David Clifford is a cert for YPOY . Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6031 - 29/08/2018 12:44:51 2137375 Link

Don't think McCarthy will get nominated clondalkin, there's a bit of a marmite feel to McCarthy's form this season from different posters. Some think he's having another great season others not so much, I'd be of the latter. He's still got that unbelievable graft and work ethic but he's made a lot of uncharacteristic ball handling errors in a few games for me. If 2 Dublin players get nominated as in previous seasons I think it could split the vote giving the 3rd person the majority of votes keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 29/08/2018 13:48:56 2137390 Link
This year for me no one really stood head and shoulders above the rest. You really only tell what real POTY are made of in absolute melting pop of games such like the last few AIs between Dublin and Mayo. Dublin have swept all before them without having anyone exceptional but the favourite for me would be Brian Fenton. Its been mainly a top notch panel performance by Dublin this year. But I would nearly hazard a guess that whoever gets MOTM in the final will be the POTY too. As for a Tyrone candidate , none that I would rave about. Young POTY has to be David Clifford single handily saving Kerry and Fitzmaurice from a shameful embarrassing year ( still a shte one at that) . woops (Kerry)* - Posts: 2073 - 29/08/2018 13:59:40 2137396 Link

Footballer (and Hure)r of the year are easy choices for me this year but you have to be a media friendly high profile player to get these awards the last few years. For that reason Hannon and Fenton probably wont get the awards. Straight forward choice on both for me. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 29/08/2018 14:18:38 2137406 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "4 players get nominated now for poty, McCarthy has been outstanding all season long." Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought it was only 4 because Cluxton got nominated for POTY last year and as such they didn't want that to indicate that he was an automatic selection for goalkeeper all star so Clarke got nominated as well? keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 29/08/2018 14:21:18 2137407 Link

For me it should be Graham Mulcahy but I doubt it will be. I am guessing you think it will be Aaron Gillane or Joe canning in hurling and Ciaran KK in football?

Karl O Connell Rory Beggan Conor Mc Manus all three Monaghan lads have played well from the start of the year and not just when it counted in big games Muineachain76 (Monaghan) - Posts: 180 - 29/08/2018 15:06:30 2137427 Link
