List Mgmt. Lecras - how much longer?

[kranky al]

How come lecras is such a protected species. Emac can be shown the macgoos - yet lecras who hasnt fired a shot against a decent team in years constantly gets away with it.

Paddy mcgoo - who we all know is a scrubber - deserves a spot in this team 100x over lecca.

Credits in the bank should have been well and truly exhausted over the last two years.

What gives here? Nude pics blackmail? Someones godson?

Wt actual f - how is he stll playing???

 

[DickDunn]

Weird timing for this thread given he actually played pretty well against Norf. But yeah I think this will probably be his last year - he looks to be reaching the same stage in his career as Embley, Cox etc where he's all too aware that he's clearly past his best.

 

[ytpme]

He will not get any taller now. But good to see Maginnity back to his brilliant worst after his game of glory against Essendon 2nds.

 

[WCErevival]

He is still signed on for next year so that will be his last. Could have him, Priddis and Butler all retire together. I think he will be played until someone else proves they are a regular goal kicker in the WAFL

 

[bassmanx]

He has been brilliant in the past but certainly does not look at his best this year.
Hard to see where he fits on current form.

 

[larrikin]

Was good yesterday and form has been steadily improving.

 

[Belltower]

Yes very strange, was clearly better than hill and mcginnity. Has elite kicking skills over medium distance, for some reason has fluffed some real sitters this year. Plays a different role these days, played between the arcs more now and was back playing as the spitter yesterday. Has had more down days this year than usual but I think has been back closer to his best in the past weeks, also his pressure and tackling have been better, which is quite often a criticism. 20 possessions, 2 goals, should have been 3, basically what you require from a hf, 3 tackles as well, 1 more than ginners

I don't like to exaggerate, but that's the most outrageous call in the history of human civilization.

Ive told you a million times its not


On effort levels alone - i should have specified

 

[Gizza]

20 disposals and 2 goals (probably should've been 3) not good enough against a top 8 side?

Sack woosha

Bit harsh, I thought he went alright. Had a few absolute bullet lace out passes to our forwards. One in particular was actually a pretty difficult kick and put it perfectly to about the only spot Kennedy would have been able to mark it. Seems to have really worked on that part of his game.

Apparently not, seeing as he had the same figures in last year's QF but "hasn't fired a shot against a decent team in years"

 

[greatwhiteshark]

As a good West Perth boy he will refuse to wear the East Perth Jumper! So has to play for the Eagles. lol

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Had a very good second half after a poor first half.

I love that Badger, but you're on you're own with this one KrankMan

 

[RookiePick]

Lecca does seem to have been finding some form and his work rate is up. Hopefully he can continue on this trajectory.

 

[eagles rule]

didn`t mind his game v North except for his missed dribble goal .

font isn't big enough...did not read.

 

[Belltower]

He is a forward, tell me what forward averages more possessions and goals when they lose. Hasn't been at his best this year after a stellar year last year but still best 22

 

[Big_Tony]

Has been slowly improving I think. Still nowhere near his best but had a solid enough game against the Roos all things considered. He is a bit of a unique player really... a small forward who plays tall and has a reasonable tank to run through the midfield with good foot-skills. Very well-rounded which gives the team some flexibility. The thing that has probably saved him through his run of bad form is the lack of a like for like replacement performing well in the seconds.

yet lecras who hasnt fired a shot against a decent team in years

Round 3 2015 vs Fremantle - 18 disposals & 5 goals
Round 9 2015 vs Geelong - 26 disposals & 1 goal
Round 15 2015 vs Adelaide - 23 disposals & 2 goals
Round 17 2015 vs Sydney - 24 disposals & 2 goals
Qualifying final 2015 vs Hawthorn - 20 disposals & 2 goals
Preliminary final 2015 vs North Melbourne - 18 disposals, 10 marks & 1 goal

In 2016 most decent sides we've played have been away from home, in which the entire team has shat the bed.

Player X has poor performance when team loses.

Problem is we lose because we don't have senior leaders who perform when we are getting beaten.

Le Cras, as a former AA and marquee player, should be one of the guys lifting us when we are threatened.
