can't open pp in work but if Dublin win, it's Fenton's barring him having a very poor final or someone having a great game cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5028 - 29/09/2016 14:51:13 1920531 Link 0 |
Colm Boyle at 40-1 looks like as good a bet as K McManamon. Good chance Fenton gets it no matter what though, even in the event of a Dublin loss. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4247 - 29/09/2016 15:12:35 1920543 Link 0 |
Agree, Boyle stood out for Mayo even in the Galway match: the man's a born leader. Fenton and McMenamon would be my standouts for the Dubs. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 29/09/2016 15:20:56 1920547 Link 0 |
If Dublin win, Fenton will probably get it. If Mayo win then I would expect Keegan to get it.

It's a very interesting POTY this year in that several fellas have a good claim on it on both sides Even if McM got those 4 and Dublin win I'd assume Fenton would have his usual good/very good game and give it to him. He's been the most consistent. Lovely footballer.....the curse of emigration is an awful thing :-) Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 29/09/2016 15:45:23 1920562 Link 0 |
He hasn't been as good as Boyle over the course of the championship, but has been improving while Boyle has dipped (ever so slightly). COC, for me, has been more consistent with an outstanding point the last day and if any Mayo player is to be in contention they will need to win it and to do that, COC will need to perform. So in my mind, if mayo win, he will have been their best player. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5028 - 29/09/2016 16:04:16 1920575 Link 0 |

If Mayo win I'd say Boyle jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20608 - 29/09/2016 17:09:34 1920613 Link 0 |
TBH while Cilian was poor by his own lofty standards in the early rounds of the championship, he really stood up in the crunch games against Tyrone and Dublin, both from placed balls and from play. This sort of form probably wouldn't win him FOTY but I don't think he's been as poor as everyone's making out. I think people also forget that he missed a lot of the National League through injury and then got a black card against London after 8 minutes, which perhaps cost him a bit of sharpness.

Mayo's lack of standout individual performers THIS YEAR means it might go to a Dub either way. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12133 - 29/09/2016 18:33:21 1920649 Link 1 |
IMO Paul Geaney the stand out player and marquee forward for 2016. dingle2 (Kerry) - Posts: 278 - 29/09/2016 18:59:28 1920665 Link 0 |
I agree re Moran Breff. Dont see it either Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 29/09/2016 19:46:01 1920684 Link 0 |
On the one hand you say Boyle is the only player you'd have on the Dublin panel, on the other hand you say you know your stuff. Interesting!

I would agree that Geaney has been the stand out forward in the Championship. If Dublin win and Cooper plays well he should get it because he has been immense in the most scrutinised part of our team.If Mayo win then whoever plays best between Higgins and Boyle IMO should get it. Last day out both defenses played better than their forwards which unfortunatley is becoming the norm
