It may well be some consolation.
We’re now after settling down from this whole 2017 championship.
Dublin are the champions and deservedly so and have two players up for the prestigious Player of the Year award.
James McCarthy is nominated after a stellar All-Ireland Final that, in essence, won them the game and then Stephen Cluxton was nominated for being Stephen Cluxton.
But there’s also two Mayo players up for the award in the form of Mayo goalkeeper David Clarke and forward Andy Moran.
Moran had an incredible year, a career year in fact and somehow became more of a fan favourite that years prior.
Include the three points scored in the All-Ireland Final and he is the bookmakers’ favourite.
But that’s not the important thing, what is important is what the SportsJOE readers think.
We posted on our Facebook page soon after the nominations were announced who our readers thought was deserving of the gong and it heavily favoured Moran, who today announced that he would stay on for another season with Stephen Rochford’s side.
Nearly 8,000 people engaged with the post and over 7,000 of those backing the Ballaghaderreen man to win it.
The next closest was James McCarthy with 461 and then Stephen Cluxton with 315 and David Clarke trails at 152.
