Why do clubs nominate? It's a weird system!

Could you imagine the team the panel would come up with if clubs didn’t semi point them in the right direction?

God no.
Do they ever select players that haven't been nominated?

That sentiment jumped out at me on the weekend. They are so so selfless as a team it really is a pleasure to watch. Whether its enough to get them to a GF and to win it is debateable, but thre is no doubting that every time Freo threatened as a team they snuffed the threat out. There was no looking across at who else may be taking the responsibility.
The thing is if you put their best 22 against our best 22 as individual players, I'd rate our guys as better individual players.
