AFL:Give him an All-Australian: Eagle Ginbey lights up AFL

West Coast coach Andrew McQualter has declared Reuben Ginbey deserves All-Australian selection after the Eagles defender produced yet another Herculean effort.

Ginbey was arguably best on ground in Sunday's 30-point win over Essendon, with his ability to shut down star Bombers forward Nate Caddy while also helping out teammates proving crucial.

Caddy was held goalless for three quarters before kicking two junk time majors late in the game when the contest was already decided.

One of those goals came when Ginbey was on the bench.

Ginbey has developed into one of the best key defenders in the league despite being undersized, and McQualter wants the 21-year-old to be recognised with All-Australian selection.

"If you just look at his contest work, he has to be (in the team)," McQualter said.
