Who do you think will win it?

Phily deserves it based on his football this year. He has been amazing but I guess he won't get it.

Brogan maybe?

Jack McCaffrey outstanding all year, in both League and Championship. Imreoir den scoth é.

Bernard was near flawless this year, BB for me!

Massive Congrats to Dublin's flying halfback Jack McCaffrey. But was really surprised he won.

Wow No paddy Andrews. i thought he was a cert for an all star. Did a lot more than AoS and Dublin's game plan was not built around him

I'm surprised but pleased McCaffrey won it as he was my pick for the award. I thought they'd take the easy option and give it to Brogan.

wrong decision

Jack was very good, but wouldnt have been in my top 3
i would have said
1. Philly
2. Bernard
3. James McCarthy

jack was the "safe option"
nice boy from a nice area with a nice soft accent
i genuinely believe that

AOS at 14 is a joke and smacks of tokenism
was all but irrelevant in the two semi finals

Spot on.

Philly was Dublin's most influential player this year. Really deserved it but was never going to get it unfortunately.

I don't think AOS at 14 is quite a joke but I agree he's lucky enough to get it. 1 goal against Donegal was enough for him to get it. Michael Murphy, Paddy Andrews and Seán Quigly all ahead of Aidan for me on this year's displays.

Well done to Jack McCaffrey he had a great year and is a hell of a player.Bernard Brogan is the one I'd have picked and hats off to Philly McMahon on a marvellous year he has improved vastly on previous campaigns.I do agree with posters saying that he was never going to win it as it's not the first time controversial players were overlooked like Geraghty McMennamin etc.

Congrats to McCaffrey on his award. Awards will always cause controversy as there is very little between a lot of our top players. However, I think McCaffrey is an outstanding role-model for young lads hoping to make it to the top in the game. He keeps his game simple and plays to his strengths. He plays the game as it should be played, in a sporting manner, and doesn't get involved in the seedier antics that many others feel they have to. Yet nobody could say that he is not a 'manly' player. I think that the GAA should be doing an awful lot more to highlight the qualities, skills, character and potential of our top young playes(such as McCaffrey, O'Connor and all the others) and promote them as 'stars' and 'idols' to inspire our young kids, like other sports do.

no doubt in my mind he would win it
i picked him as far back as march to win it
as long as he played anyway as good in a semi final or final as he was playing throughout the year
phily had a brilliant championship
and bernard scoring was superb taking in he wasnt the freetaker this year
but mccafrey from the start of year to end of year was outstanding he never had a dip at all
