Jimmy Newman Medal Nominee for this round:
Round 18: Ernie Tate (Perth Ospreys)
Our nominee for Round 18 has been waiting for a nomination this season after playing several decent games but finally after several other players overshadowing his performances to get the nominees in the previous weeks, He finally topped the competition. With 18 disposals, 14 kicks, 4 handballs, 5 marks, 1 goal and 4 tackles in Perth’s game against Melbourne. It had to be only one player, It is of course Ernie Tate from the Perth Ospreys and He is our 2020 Jimmy Newman Medal Nominee for Round 18.

We wish Ernie the best for the rest of 2020.
