MARK LeCras admits he is still unclear on the rules surrounding the bump.
The West Coast forward accepted a one-match ban for a head-high bump on Greater Western Sydney youngster Will Hoskin-Elliott in round eight.
LeCras' case seemed clear-cut given he left the ground when bumping and his shoulder made contact with Hoskin-Elliott's head well after the Giant kicked the ball.
The Eagles decided to take the early plea to reduce LeCras' suspension from two weeks down to one, which saw the 2010 All Australian miss the Eagles' eight-point loss to Collingwood in round 10.
LeCras said on Monday he still did not have a clear understanding of the rules regarding bumping.
"Not really to be honest," LeCras said.
"It's a funny one when you look at some of the incidents that have happened in the past but it's not something I worry about. You take your punishment and move on."
LeCras conceded he made an error in bumping Hoskin-Elliott and accepted his suspension was fair, however he believes there is still a lot of grey area in regards to the interpretations of bumps.
"I don't take a lot of interest but I've seen a few where people have been done and a few where they haven't and it's still finding its feet, probably," LeCras said.
The Eagles broke a string of three consecutive losses last Saturday with a stirring three-point win over Gold Coast to keep their faint finals hopes alive.
The win was even more impressive given the absence of Darren Glass, Dean Cox, Scott Selwood and Luke Shuey.
With Glass retiring last week LeCras hopes that Cox, who was rested on the weekend, does not follow the former captain into retirement this year.
"I love playing with Coxy," LeCras said.
"I'm sure he'll make the right decision for himself and the footy club. I think he's got a lot to give. He shows great leadership around the footy club. He's got a lot of experience and he's a great player. I'm sure the club and him will figure that out in time when he's ready."
Even with the retirement of Glass and the questions surrounding Cox's future, LeCras does not believe there is a leadership void at the club at present.
"It doesn't feel like that at the club at the moment," LeCras said.
"Glassy is gone, we're getting our head around that. We have a good group of leaders that were under Glassy, so we're happy to go about what we're doing at the moment; it's not like anyone's auditioning for spots or anything like that. The best leader will get the job."
According to coach Adam Simpson as many as five players will be in a captaincy rotation for the rest of the year before a decision is made on a permanent captain in the off-season.
LeCras was not one of those players mentioned by Simpson and he does not believe he is a candidate for the top job.
"I don't think I will be one of those blokes," LeCras said.
