We can still draft Matera assuming no one else wants him on draft day
I think nominations just mean you are then given the choice to bid on draft day
Is matera worth losing a newman. This years one of the worst drafts in recent seasons and matera is tipped either go really late or be completely miss it. Its seems like we might just draft him because of his famous name. Newman on the other hand is high draft pick who seemed to be good and looked better in the senior side than mcginnity. Newman deserved atleast 1 more season on the rookie list.

Newman averaged 12 disposals in the WAFL
Say what you want about McGinnity or Lucas, but they are both better than Newman

According to the West, today is apparently only the 1st round of nominations, we can still nominate him by the final round on Nov 20, 4 days before the draft. Bidding is live during the draft.

Wasn't a slight on him I'm just calling it like it is.
Or they just want to take him as a rookie
im going for the talentless part.
All year his been touted as a late or rookie selection. In a weak draft thats not what u want to hear.
Agree. Probably need 2-3 years in the VFL to show his worth and that he actually has talent before he gets a shot at the AFL.
could even be next year. his had an injury so he could line up for vic metro as a top ager and could stand out and be up for the draft.

In case he has a breakout year, would rather pick him up this year as a rookie and see how he goes in the WAFL.
not really, he could just be an average player. we could be pick up a better player or pick up one of our delisted players. shouldnt get matera on his name.

Before this year, I only recall us doing that with Houlihan and Muzza, but we may do that with 4 players this year.

The delisted guys have had a extended run and I would hate to think that we haven`t really given them much of a chance .
omg so much this.
As much as I hate getting suckered into Newman debates, this is such a bad analysis I actually laughed.

Both McGinnity and Lucas have shown more than Newman at WAFL level this year
I'm not saying that McGinnity and Lucas should be in our best 22 (in fact it would be a concern if they were) but they provide a bit more reliable depth than Newman
I would agree that Newman had way more scope than those two (what we see from Lucas and McGinnity is all we are going to get) but after 4 years on a list, you'd want to have a bit more than "scope" to argue your spot on the list
