Fremantle have turned to a former Eagle to help the club’s kicking woes.

Retired West Coast premiership star Mark LeCras is considering an offer to join the Dockers as a new assistant coach, under good friend Justin Longmuir.

According to 7NEWS Perth, LeCras has been offered the role of kicking coach.

Longmuir has said he will place a great emphasis on the Dockers’ skills during his time as coach.

Under Ross Lyon, Fremantle were repeatedly criticised for the basic skill errors costing them matches.

The retired Eagle is expected to make a decision on the job offer next month.

Former Docker Harley Bennell’s manager, meantime, has described the injury-prone midfielder’s chances of playing AFL as “a long shot”.

“But after speaking to a few high profile clubs and their medical teams, we believe there is a pathway to it happening,” he told Sportsday WA.

“There were a few clubs interested and if Melbourne didn’t offer Harley a chance to train, I think another club would have.”

Under AFL list rules, Bennell is unable to start training with a new club until December 3.
