Replying To SurelyToGod:  "Langan nailed-on for sure, but as a half forward which is what he is.

Keeper:
Beggan/Morgan frontrunners but a top display in final could win it for either Ryan or Patton.

Full back line:
McCole the only certainty. Full back line likely to be 2 winners and 1 runner-up. Roarty a shoe-in for YPOTY however. Unlikely to look past two from Foley, Casey, Roarty, Mogan.

Half back:
Brian Ó Beaglaoich and Ciaran Moore certainties. One other from champion, likeliest candidates White, McHugh, Mogan, Roarty. (Mogan Roarty might get half back instead of full back)

Midfield:
Joe O'Connor and Hugh McFadden certs. Key battle in the final.

Half-Forward:
Langan, Sean O Shea certs. One other from Champions.

Full Forward:
Clifford, Murphy certs. One other from Mulroy, or top display in final from champions, i.e. Paudie, Gallen, Conor O'Donnell.

Champions: 7/8/9
Runners-up: 5/6
Others: 0/1/2"
I think Langan will be put at Midfield on all star team and McFadden will miss out.

Mc Cole is not a certainty because he has to mark Clifford. Keep him to something respectable he gets the all star, if Clifford runs riot that All star is in jeopardy.

Are you not that Clare "wan" from the Mayo private forum. You're not from Donegal that is for sure. I've seen the vitriol that you've posted on the Mayo site about us and by the way our managers name is Mr McGuinness to you and not McGuiness as you call him. Get on your bike, your opinions aren't wanted here.

Interesting times ahead.

The final will be billed as Murphy v Clifford and player of the year is being priced by bookies as such but for me Donegals best player this season has been Langan and if Donegal are to win in two weeks, he's gonna need to light it up again and if he does, he should get POTY.

I think you're right but Murphy coming back after 2 years out. Almost 36 and being the second highest scorer this season is unbelievable and if we win he's definitely going to get it. He's not playing the same way as before everything went through him but that's not the case now because we have so many good runners. But he could very well end up with 50+ points and it seems he's scoring more from play then even back when he was in his prime. Hope he's lifting Sam in 2 weeks!

I seen someone mention mchugh for an all star. I'm not so sure he will get one, very quiet year from him. The rest I can all agree on. I think Ciarán Thompson deserves one for sure. He's been brilliant and has added more scoring to his game. Conor OD will be a dark horse for one too. Think he has 3-15 from championship all from play.

From donegal id personally have McCole, Roarty, Moore, Langan, Thompson, Murphy.
But you can argue for any of the others to get one too and it would be fair.
