West Coast defender Reuben Ginbey is confident the club has the nucleus to contend for premiership success in the not-too-distant future and he hopes Harley Reid will be along for the ride.
Just days after an unruly football fan threw a lemon at him, Ginbey signed a three-year extension with the Eagles on Wednesday, tying him to the club until the end of 2030.
The 21-year-old has established himself as one of the best key defenders in the league over the past 18 months, with coach Andrew McQualter declaring Ginbey deserves to be in the All-Australian team this year.
