Opinion Lecras Goalkicking?

[Eagles420]

After a year out of the game you can forgive him if his skills are still a bit rusty. He was always the best set shot in the team so everyone has high expectation of him when he's lining up. maybe the cast is affecting his ball drop as everyone has said but i also think its a bit of a confidence thing. the worst I think was yesterday when he ran into goal from the pocket and kicked a banana through for a behind which is very unlike him. But hey he's getting the ball and having the shots we normally want him taking so can't fault him for that, his accuracy will return soon and he'll kick a bag of 8+

I think it's because he doesn't have his short back and sides haircut circa 2010-11, His hair is now a fraction longer, hence his terrible set shots.

Surely it has to do with having a stupidly annoying, sweaty brace on the arm you drop the ball with.

 

[Bob Fossil]

I get the feeling that maybe it is the arm cast that is affecting his ball drop.

He seemed to struggle a little for distance at times as well, which I thought was maybe the cast.

 

[Gubbz]

Hmm let me cast my thoughts over it...

 

[Spooky17]

Although his kicking was off on the weekend, for him to still get 3 goals was at least a positive. Seems his touch close in is still there, was just the set-shots that were the problem... maybe it is the cast affecting the ball-drop..

 

[LeCrassic]

Lets not cast dispersions over Lecca, he will find form.

 

[SpaceClef]

Defs the cast. He was kicking it beautifully in the NAB and derby before he got injured. His running shots are still 100% fine, it's obviously just putting him off in the set shots.

Le Cast

So it's settled, it's the cast?

Boy am I glad we've got to the bottom of this.

Yep, seems the problem will be fixed once

Maybe he watched Paranormal Activity 9 and now he has the yips?

Yep, that's my bet

 

[WCFaithful]

It's obvious Lecca is a shadow of his former self and should be dropped. Trade bait?


did i do it right?

Maybe he's trying to grow a beard to fit in with the other forwards, but can't, and now is feeling like he doesn't belong in the forward line?

I just think he missed the memo that we were kicking goals this week instead of behinds and was going off last weeks gameplan.

 

[Natho]

The ball was flat he was kicking with

 

[Doughboy]

Another 2-3 weeks I'd say. He'd wear a brace for the rest of the year but it wouldnt be as heavy.

Heard Lecca after the game on Sunday on 720 (Thats AM kiddies) and he will have the pins and plates in his arm for the rest of the season and will have them removed after the Grand Final Parade* through Forrest Chase.

He will therefore have teh "pillow" on his arm for the rest of the year

* - may not actually happen

That's so early to be up on a Sunday morning.

Just had a thought.. with metal (plate) fused to his bones and his freakish healing ability... Mark Le Cras isn't Wolverine is he?!?!?!

 

[flyinghi64]

I just had a thought, He had a knee reco last year and has been in re-hab for a good 10 months before returning to training and getting back to match fitness and regaining his former skills that were reduced through his year out of the game.
I therefore fully believe the real reason for the decline in this once perfect sharpshooters accuracy is due to the overbearing, unnaturally uncomfortable hinderence of that DAMN CAST on his arm.

I fully believe he will improve week by week and return to the brilliance he displayed in his previous dead eye dick kicking displays in recent seasons..........do not despair people.

 

[JADED]

Obvious combination of "all of the below"
More time up the ground = buggered but still hungry for a goal.
Right arm with plate/pins screwed to the bone. And a cast apparently , but I'll need to confirm this.
Not far out of a knee reco, often taking players 2 years to feel normal again.

I think we're spoilt.

 

[Gods_Son23]

I actually thought that could be what was having the effect...

same. i thought that watching the game on Sunday and his uncharacteristic kicking.

 

[squashface]

It could be the cast



Am I late to the show?

Never too late with posts like that. You could be on to something.

I've actually had a change of heart since my last post, I'm gonna go with "just shit house, unaccountable, crap, lazy, hungry goal kicking that must be improved upon to save yourself from becoming a tradeable/delistable whipping boy". It must stop immediately.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Sack woosha, it's obviously his fault somehow
