Mark LeCras (born 30 August 1986) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was predominantly used as a small forward, though he has occasionally played in the midfield. He won an AFL Premiership with West Coast in 2018, his last season. LeCras is the last West Coast Eagle born before the club's first game to play for them.
His father played senior football for East Fremantle in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), and his brother, Brent LeCras, played for North Melbourne in the AFL. His cousins, Toby, Ashley and Cory McGrath, also played senior football in the WAFL and AFL.[3]
He made his debut for West Coast late in the 2005 season, and played his first full season in 2007. LeCras kicked 58 goals in 2009 and 63 goals in 2010, leading the club goalkicking in both years.
He won the club best and fairest in 2010, and was also named in the All-Australian team. In 2017, LeCras broke Phil Matera's club record for the most career goals by a small forward. In the same season he also became just the third West Coast player to kick 400 career goals, after Peter Sumich and Josh Kennedy.
He now works as a coastal reporter for Seven News Perth.[4]
