This is a joke of a selection. His shotstopping vs Wexford was abysmal.
Pa born in the wrong county, playing with a mediocre bunch ,bar one or 2,feel for him he deserves a few all Ireland medals
Incidentally, Noel McGrath has been somewhat blackguarded not getting nominated for HOTY, but I presume thats to give Callanan a tap in.
Truth told Noel was better than Callanan this year
I would argue the same for Brendan Maher as well. Callinan had some big moments and got a lot of goals but I don’t really recall him dominating games to the extent that the other two did.
Joke shop there. McGrath was the one that stood up the most when the chips were down against Wexford.
They wouldn’t have been in the final without him.
In fairness it’s time to make it up to Seamie after being blackguarded in 2016

Ffs, Cluxton! They’ll make an absolute shambles of it if they give it to him.
I told ye that a month ago
It’s Cluckos
Tough one for Johnny Cooper and Niall Scully, makes them look like passengers now.
Not sure how MDMA got one, thought he was below par all year.
I disagree with those saying Callanan is lucky. Man was frighteningly consistent this year.
McCaffrey is my POTY.
Mannion and Fenton are unlucky not to be nominated for the top prize.
I have Con slightly ahead of McCaffrey but I wouldn’t argue with either winning it.
Cluxton will win it
Bookies giving Con the edge despite the remarkable media effort behind Cluxton.
