Reuben Ginbey is one of a number of early-drafted juniors the Eagles earned through years of bottoming out. Harley Reid takes all the headlines these days, leaving the likes of Hewett and Reuben Ginbey to find their role to play as part of the support cast, and there's nothing wrong with that. Ginbey is being tested as a Beau Waters-style half back enforcer, but Hewett is one of a host of youngsters yet to settle into a best 22 spot that he wins through results rather than potential. New coach Andrew McQualter has a lot of clay to work with, and Hewett awaits a mould.

Reuben Ginbey was a high draft pick for West Coast near the start of their ignominious slide towards Spoonville, a wallowing from which the club is now dragging itself out. He cam with strong junior form as an inside midfielder, and has attended a lot of centre bounces for the Eagles through his developing years, but he spent time last week starting from half back and has most definitely been outshone by the Harley Reid show. Not that there would be anything wrong if his fate is to stay a flanker, as he has the capability to be a Beau Waters enforcer type. Not great for fantasy, though.
