Player Of The Year 2025

(Oldest Posts First)

My top 3 would be Rafferty Menton and Kinsella.

Rafferty came in after a few games and never looked back.
Menton was Mr Consistency who chipped in with scores and we realised his importance after he went off injured today
Kinsella really came to the fore after Kinlough got injured. He kicked some fabulous scores but he also won the world of breaking ball in the games against Kerry Dublin & Galway and today he never ever gave up. For me he should be the player of the year.

A great year with lots of great individual performances and a number who were consistently good all year but my vote without hesitation goes to Sean Rafferty. He has had an exceptional year, a modest young man who has broken through without any experience of under age involvement with the county team, he always displays a calmness and skill under pressure, very strong in the tackle and a great ball carrier out of defence - well done Sean

Don't disagree on these three based on consistency. Costello, Caulfield, Morris had super days but not everyday. Coffey was quite consistent too. I would probably give it to Sean Rafferty.
Thought he performed well at times against Donegal too. Incredible than really Raffety and Kinsella's first established year they put in these performances so expect them to be serious players next few years.
