WEST Coast forward Mark LeCras is a strong chance to make his AFL return on Saturday just three weeks after breaking his arm.

LeCras had a plate inserted into his right arm after suffering a fracture in the round-one derby loss to Fremantle.

The 26-year-old has trained strongly over the past week, and Eagles coach John Worsfold said LeCras is confident of playing against the Melbourne Demons at the MCG.

"He feels really, really strong about it," Worsfold said.

"He was doing ball work and marking on the lead flat-out last week. He's as fit as anyone.

"I've got no doubt he was tempted to put himself up to play last week.

"He's got the all clear from the surgeons to play.

"It's really up to him now and our medical staff to make that call.


"He'll wear something over where the wound is basically. Just protection for that."

Star midfielder Daniel Kerr, who underwent knee surgery during the off-season, is also in line for selection after making it through last week's WAFL hit-out unscathed.

But defender Eric Mackenzie is set to miss his second straight game due to a hamstring injury.

The Eagles are 0-2 after losses to Fremantle and Hawthorn, but they'll start hot favourites against a Melbourne side who are still reeling from last week's 148-point defeat to Essendon.
