its bernard brogan for me but i thought from a dublin point of view mick mccauley was excellent aswell.doyle and kavanagh deserve a mention too.

753863 51long ago..........stepehen o'neill is concidered by tyrone people as the best player we've produced and not canavan or cavanagh.

maurice fitzgerald is easly the most over-rated player of all time...one sideline ball


hard to expect anything else coming from you and your kind.

Ciaran MacDonald and James Masters are two of the biggest chokers to set foot in Croke Park in September. For the whole rest of the year the these two fellas would put the fear of God in ya and then for some reason they just never showed in the same way on the big day.

Bernard Brogan has produced in nearly all the big games this year. Player of the year so far and if his form continues upwards he'll be giving backs a nightmare for years to come.

I dont think Michael Darragh Mc Cauley gets half enough credit for his midfield displays. Has been one of the best so far this year.

I think the only threat ot Brogan is James Kavanagh. If he puts in another great display this Sunday and another in the final should Kildare get there I'd be expecting him to pick it up

I never mentioned James Masters and this chocking, what does it mean? 2004 AND 06, Mayo were out played by a far better side but our best player was Ciaran Mac by a mile, ill try and fin a reminder or two.

51longago, i am a big fan of mcdonald but too say he was our best player in 06, come on. He failed to score and his man of the match marker o'mahoney scored two points off him if i remember correctly. He had a poor game, plagued by injury and should probably have been taken off. O'Neill and Brady were by far mayos best players on the day.

Brady was not to be seen till he went back on donaghy and it was too late then, maybe Mac was not our best in 06 and i just reacted to the Kerry mans post but to say he chocked in all 3 finals he played in is rubbish and typical of people trying to knock him.

How would he be seen till he went back on donaghy sure wasnt he sitting on the subs bench till then.

I know stephen mcdonnell got player of the year in 03 when his team lost final, likewise peter canavan in 95 but when was the last time/or did he ever happen that a player picked up player of the year after his team did not reach the final??

Got to be B Brogan. He basically ran the show for the Dubs all year and nearly single handedly got them to the final, without him the Dubs are nothing. Even as a Meath man I felt very sorry for him after the Cork game, deserves to be on a better team. This Dublin mabe have a few Leinsters in them but no All Irelands, WAY to many paggengers.

Good jesus thats it exactly, sarcasm as to how he could be our best player, i give up in here.

quite possible to come on after ten minutes and still be best player, anyways stick to the topic.

Bernard Brogan is top of the pile by a country mile. He has been unreal and seeing him live on sunday only made my belief even stronger that he is some player.

Other players who have been consistently good this year is Marty clarke, Paddy kelly, Noel o leary, Kavanagh, Owen Mulligan...

Bernard Brogan has been a class act in all his games.
