Not really : To be fair you could not begrudge any winner . Tom Morrissey was unlucky but not robbed . Ditto Kyle Hayes . Gillane missed too many goal chances . I thought maybe Shane o Donnell ahead of Horgan . Horgan was good but not great this year and I am a huge admirer of him .
Kyle Hayes should have for one. A decent enough year up to the final and then a match winning Man of the Match performance in the final.

Yes but he was up against JC so one must be realistic .
+1. Kyle Hayes should have been centre forward on the team. The forward selection is a shambles.
They’d have to leave off Joe Canning then.
I think it’s a fair reflection of the year.
A bit dodgy naming harnedy half forward to shoe horn in hoggy. Harnedy was nominated in full forward line.
Rescued us down in cork in munster and changed the tide in the semi final. A man amongst men and head n shoulders above any other half forward in the country this year. Canning got hurler of the year for his point v tipp last year. The kyler took charge of the final in the second half. It’s an absolute scandal he didn’t get one.

Can soneone compile a list of YHOTY this decade and see which got all stars that year ?
Horgan disappeared in the semi final under pressure as per usual.

He did not , his midfield and half forward line was non existent for last 10 minutes and ET . That said he wasn’t great this year . I would have given Shane o Donnell one above him .
I will later .
I’ve been listening to a lot of bolox about Daragh fitzgibbon too. He’s what I like to call a show pony. A Paul pogba type of operator. I’m sure he’s impressive in 60m sprints and pulling off the odd long range point but in terms of being at the coal face when his team needed him he absolutely disappeared this year. Cian Lynch/Daragh o donovan/David Burke are miles ahead of him.

Two forward slots for a Clare side that Drew 1 Lost 3 of their 8 Championship matches is a lot. John Conlon after strong showings in some of the early season round robin matches faded as the season moved onto the business end.

He missed five simple points. He’s grand in Munster below cork but on the big day he vanishes.

We pushed up on them and stopped the supply in.
He got the equalising point in regular time didn’t he from out the sideline?
I think Duggan is lucky to get in. His year will be remembered for bottling that late, crucial close in free against Galway in the replay that would have dragged them level. Clare would have probably beaten Limerick in the final too, have the Indian sign over them in recent times.
Duggan still more deserving of one than Horgan though. Disappeared when the need was greatest - that vital chance he hit off the post when Cork were under siege late in normal time in the semi final goes straight over if they are six points ahead.
I’d have gone…
Hayes, Canning, T Morrissey
Harnedy, Conlon, Mulcahy.
David Burke is an outstanding hurler and a big game player. I’d be miffed I i was from Galway and he wasn’t on it.

He’s twice the player of fitzgibbon. A proper hurler. Gives his all for his team. Fitzgibbon hurls for himself.
