 Selected as an All-Australian again in 1993 and 94, Matera also was something of a surprise runner up in the 1994 Brownlow Medal count, polling 28 votes, including four straight best of ground performances.Matera was also a key member of West Coast's second premiership team in 1994 – while he did not repeat his 1992 heroics, it was later revealed he played the Grand Final under much duress due to a stress fracture in his leg.With his trademark speed on the decline, 1996 saw Peter Matera reinvent himself as a half back flank with great success.
