West Coast coach Andrew McQualter is confident Elijah Hewett will re-sign with the Eagles despite the midfielder being stuck in the WAFL as rival AFL clubs sniff about.
Hewett, the No.14 pick from the 2022 national draft, comes out of contract at the end of this season and is being sounded out by several Melbourne-based clubs.
The 22-year-old had a delayed start to the season due to injury, and then was dropped from the AFL side after just four games due to him struggling to adapt to a half-forward role.
