My god what a footballer. He would be worth the admission fee on his own. His catch for his second point was exceptional. His movement off the ball is unreal. Is there a better player in a full forward line in the country? Most natural forward playing the game at the minute. Reminds me of Canavan in his pomp.

We've been blessed with him gotmilk, one of the all-time greats for sure.

He is a fine footballer just gets on with the task in hand.

I'd say Conor McManus is still the best forward in the country. What he has done with Monaghan, where he isn't surrounded by the quality Brogan is and is often double or triple marked, is exceptional.

That all said, Brogan is a great talent and took O Se to the cleaners today.

Fair play to bernard brogan kicked some lovely points and all round movement was fantastic..

Best thing about him is he is a gentleman and a very sporting and honest player. No bullshit just class. Best dublin forward of all time, best forward in the country.

Class act, clever movement is the most under-rated attribute in gaelic football but he shows its true worth. Also don't think I have ever seen him dive or get up to any nonsense, a great example to use when people spout rubbish about all great players needing a nasty streak.

Superb footballer who carries himself with great dignity on the pitch. Came through the bad times with Dublin and thoroughly deserves the success and plaudits he is getting now.

Some - agree with you a great player, very clean and does not do any playacting, just get on with the game and has been playing to that for years. Would get on any team in any decade and seems so comfortable on the ball.

The football genes come from mayo. Go to YouTube and see the goal his cousin padraig brogan scored v Dublin in 1985.

what surprised me today was his pace - he had two runs in particular one where he skinned his man on the end line - looked very lively today

Personally, I thought while Brogan was very good, a telling factor was how poor Marc O'Se performed.

Genetically speaking footballing ability comes from the mother's side. FACT!

Ah lads, you can argue all day where his football genes supposedly come from but at the end of the day he's ours and that's not going to change! :)

The best forward I've ever seen play for Dublin.

He almost always turns up on the big days too.
