I would have to say Keoghan, consistently high performance level

Donal Keogan for leadership, commitment and skill, hope he has a few more years to give.

Not a hard question to answer at all. Keoghan. No discussion

Donal Keogan, Graham Reilly or Stephen Bray. Kevin reilly so unlucky with injuries but was a real leader. Biggy was unlucky in that he was in his prime when the county struggled.

Micky is the most loyal player but doesn't have the quality of the others

Keoghan or Bray. Bray had better players around him but won a leinster and All Star. Keoghgan is a defender so he gets less credit. Two outstanding players.

Stephen Bray was a fine servant but finished up in 2015 if I remember rightly.

So for excellence and longevity over the decade I'm going for Keogan who hasn't missed a championship or league game since his debut against Wicklow in 2012 and has consistently been one of our best players every year.

Donal Keoghan by a country mile. He d have got on any Meath team I ve ever seen. Id go as far as to say hed get on any county team I ve seen.

Stephen Bray. Probably Meaths best player since we last won an all Ireland. Kevin Reilly was great but injuries meant he did not play enough to say he was the best in that time frame.

Agree,bray was some player loved watching him making runs so clever and a sweet strike of the ball.As for keoghgan the man is unreal can man Mark,can run with the ball and take a score hard to chose but because I'm played in defence I'll go with Donal just

I find it very difficult to separate a defender from a forward . Donal Keoghan has been our best defender by a mile. Mr. Consistent. OUTSTANDING should cover it. Stephen Bray .was the the best forward we had in the last decade also by a mile imo. He was a joy to watch .His intelligence, and running to an open space when defence was turning to attack .Body swerve when at speed. Certainly a player a coach could use through video to show anticipation and intelligence.
I am going to cop out and call t a dead heat between two great men .

I have a feeling in 10 years time, this will have far more nominees given the potential in the younger players I have seen this year.

For me, Kevin Reilly would have been a great shout, had it not been for the injuries that plagued him. For me Donal Keoghan has been our best player for the past decade. A classy player, who can do it all. Great head on his shoulders, some athlete and a hell of a footballer.

To put biggy in that list is jaw dropping.. i would have Menton ahead of him. Bray was outstanding and if any of he, Joe Sheridan, Cian Ward or Brian Farrell were in their prime now we would be in a great position. Keogan just gets nod for consistency and longevity

1 Keoghan
2 Bray
3 Reilly
4 Biggy
5 Burke

Think Keoghan and Bray were our two class acts
Kevin was a great FB and kept BBrogan quiet many a time but v unlucky with injuries
Biggy is a class footballer and on his day could be one of the top footballers in Ireland
Stoney has been a great servant and never gave less than 100%

Toss between Donal Keogan and Stephen Bray. Two players who'd walk onto our 1996 or 1999 All Ireland teams.

Graham Reilly and Kevin Reilly wouldnt come near them.

Keoghan would get in any meath team the same can't be said about Stephen Bray as good as he was
