Mark LeCras will announce his retirement today. Goes out on a high @WestCoastEagles premiership player and ripping fella who never let fame get in the way of being being a Cervantes crayfisherman. #FrenchMan

 

[Trouto]

Retirement statement up on the club page.
Thanks for the great memories Lecca!

Damm. There goes our 3rd ranked most goal scorer of all time. Only behind Jk we were blessed.

No other small forward will match him I think.

Think we can crown him our best small forward in terms of goals.

 

[Chris_6678]

So stoked he was able to go out on a high and win a flag. Was one of the only reasons to watch during the dark days of 2010 and when he did his ACL in 2012 i thought he would never get back to his best , but he came back and his best season in 2015 as a mid/forward.

Done it all really.

Thanks for everything Lecca. You retire as one of the greats. Enjoy the premiership medal and retirement. Time to wet a line!

No more JK French man bromance

 

[JackOutback]

Happy he went out on a high, a bit disappointed he won’t be running out again next year.

No more JK French man bromance

JK’s column in Community News, where he writes about him and Lecca after the siren, reads like a Mills & Boon novel

Au revoir Mark LeCras

Thanks for the memories. My favourite moment was his 12 goal haul at Marvel Stadium (then called Etihad) in 2010

The 12 game vs Essendon at Marvel/Etihad/Telstra Dome/Colonial/Docklands/whatever is also the stuff of legends.

Enjoy retirement Lecca!

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Well, that was all so sudden. But I totes understand on him going out on a high. Congrats, Leccas. One of the clubs great forwards.

 

[kane249]

Thanks for everything Lecca, hold your head up high son

Played one of the best matches of all time that famous night Vs Essendon

 

[The Cheesecake]

Au Revoir Mark LeCras

 

[mezaire]

Thanks for your amazing commitment, highlights and efforts Lecca.
Will never forget the dozen against Essendon, best small fwd game I've seen

 

[Spange]

Oh man this is sad to see a legend go but so happy he can get his jigging on out on the boat.

Thread title change mods to honour thy man please

 

[CM9000]

This is truly the darkest day in the club's history.

 

[Monocle]

Great servant of the Club 219 games 441 goals.

Retires on his own terms and a Premiership Player .

I always think its better to have played one season less than one season to long.

Thank You Mark.

 

[W.C. Fry]

Thanks for all the enjoyment you have given us over the years. Always great when an awesome player can go out on a high on their own terms.

Let me set the scene here.
Premiership hero. Retirement. Fishing boat.
You campaigners know what happened.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

thanks for everything le dozen.

you truly turned your le crap ways into le awesome. you were simple le good this year and will never forget your ledozen a few years back. your le quick healing ways is something i wish i had

CM9000 who are we gonna hate on now!?!?!?!

foetal position initiated.

 

[hudson2006]

Wonder if we'll ever again see an Eagles forward line like we did in 2018.

Thanks for everything Mark. I reckon only Juddy would have a better highlight reel in our clubs history.

 

[Dupogi]

Thanks for the memories, Lecca!

 

[The Falcon Strike]

What a bloody way to go out.

I love that he eeked out of his body enough effort and defensive pressure to ensure he got his medal. Couldn't rely on his pure skills anymore.

Well done legend - hope the fish bite well

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Congrats and all the best to Lecca!
Fair to say that if we didn't win the flag, he'd probably be continuing on next year otherwise.

 

[omgfridge]

Congrats on a great career Lecca!

In the same discussion as Matera as our best ever small forward. So glad he got himself a flag.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Get that campaigner in here I wanna...
You campaigners know what happens

 

[Seadog]

Before he did his ACL he was the best kick for goal in the land and one of those who kept the light at the end of the tunnel visible during some dark days for the club.
Congratulations and thank you Mark for a great career at our great club.
