Two-time Brisbane premiership defender Brandon Starcevich could become West Coast's next undersized key backman after Reuben Ginbey was cut down by a quad injury.
Ginbey tore his left quad while attempting to chase down Mitch Georgiades in the third quarter of Saturday night's six-point loss to Port Adelaide.
The injury is a bitter blow for the Eagles, especially given they are already without Harry Edwards for an indefinite period after the key defender suffered three concussions this year.
