Where do you start with Colm Boyle? The Mayo half back is ferocious ball of confrontational fire that just won't accept second best. He throws himself into tackles with reckless abandon, he runs all over the field like a marathon man, and he has the finesse, which he doesn't often get credit for, in the final third.
Boyle's performance was perhaps best epitomised when he made a last-gasp block to deny a Kerry forward, who with the goal gaping, thought all he had to do was slot it home.
Not with Mayo's half back around.
Paddy Andrews (Dublin)
Is Paddy Andrews one of the most underrated players in the game? He may not get the praise that many of Dublin's other forwards do in the media, but one thing is for sure, and that's that Jim Gavin is well aware of his value.
Andrews was at his sniping accurate best on Sunday as Dublin dismantled Tyrone kicking 0-2 from open play, but his link-up play with Dublin's other attacking men was always a joy to behold.
Jack McCaffrey (Dublin)
The Clontarf club man has to be one of the most attacking wing backs in the game. He seemingly never gets tired as he makes lung-bursting run after lung-bursting run to support Dublin's attackers.
He always pops up on the end of Dublin's moves, like he did in the second half on Sunday, only to blaze it wide, but that was one of the few mistakes he made all game.
McCaffrey scored a point, kept his marker quiet as a mouse and was a key-cog in Jim Gavin's side's early ascendancy, which eventually proved telling.
Con O'Callaghan (Dublin)
They're all from Dublin, aren't they? Well that's just because Jim Gavin's men are electrifying, are unstoppable and are one of the best teams we've ever seen.
One of their greatest facets is their ability to constantly keep the conveyor belt of youngsters going, which in turn keeps their more experienced panelists on their toes.
Enter Con O'Callaghan.
The Cuala club man turned the game on it's head with his fourth minute wonder-goal, but that was only the beginning. He followed his three-pointer up with two of the sweetest points you'll see and caused the Tyrone defence heartache all day.
He is the future.
So get your votes in and the poll will be discussed on Monday afternoon's GAA Hour.
