Player Watch #4: Aidan Corr

[Shinboner1]

Yeah he told them he wanted to go and they wern't happy with him leaving.

[ChoppyGun]

Yeah I can see us trading in established defenders to free up our picks for key players or mids. Better than trying to play more young defenders with the likes of Mckay and perez trying to learn the game at the same time.

Yep that is fine with me if that's how it works out.

 

[ChoppyGun]

He's like a slightly bigger, stronger version of EVW.

Not the best resume I've ever read.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Not the best resume I've ever read.

We get it mate, you're not happy we've put wages to a player you've never heard of.

Some of us have heard of him, watched him play and are very happy with this acquisition. He's a best 22 player from a very good side that has had a very poor year after playing off in a Grand Final.

Lots of people really wanted Dal Santo too so the judgement of many here I question heavily.

Ok I'll leave it there, fair enough.

If he does deliver like W80 did as Higgins has, then fine as all I want is North to become a force again.

IIRC the first ten or so pages of the Waite thread made for some very interesting reading in retrospect.

Not even sure really where the hate on Dal Santo has come from, he was far from a Farren Ray recruitment. Not the best but serviceable.

Either way, this season saw us either not handle covid footy, not handle injury, massively overrate ourselves or more likely a mix of all three. We desperately need quality players as building blocks, the real elite will come later through drafting and better access at free agency. Corr fills a massive need and not only that, wants to come to us (still wants to come to us, we were a far more attractive option back in July when the talk he was coming first started).

I hope so too, he can't be the only change to the side though; we need a few more to make an impact.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I’ll also take Williams and Kelly.

Rip their heart out of their arse.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Aidan Corr = The Principle

 

[The acurate one]

Yep. Corr is top 15 in the competition for Rebound 50’s.

Good, cause he'll have plenty of ******* opportunity to do that in 2021

I was all for W80 but really didnt want NDS - I was right on those (imo), but then I also thought Walker was crap and been proven completely wrong - so I guess I'll trust you and co on Corr.

Totally agree on building blocks to start with and then get the best younger players through other avenues all going well.

Certainly going to be an interesting off season I suspect.

 

[The acurate one]

Aidan Corr= the Blimey

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Aiden Corr = The Abet.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Aiden Corr = The Apple

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

So just for comparisons sake what sort of draft pick would Corr be worth if he was still contracted?

 

[winalotroos]

If he is a limited free agent do we need to give up any picks ?

 

[discodaddy]

After being drafted with Pick 12 in the 2012 draft, Corr has played 98 games for the Giants.

98 games. Love it - I hope he plays 100 with us and then spreads his seed far and wide..

 

[Shinboner1]

If he is a limited free agent do we need to give up any picks ?

No picks needed for him

 

[Bigeasy]

How good was Mean Gene. One of the great interviewers.

 

[Luke72]

No picks needed for him

They can match our offer if they choose or take the compo. It will probably be pick 2 compo knowing the AFL

 

[winalotroos]

No picks needed for him

Then why are some on here upset he is coming from what I have seen he is a good get, I have him in my SuperCoach team.

 

[Snake_Baker]

So just for comparisons sake what sort of draft pick would Corr be worth if he was still contracted?

How long is a piece of string?

Jake Lever & Aidan Corr went at the same pick in the 1st round, and this is their comparative stats at the same age:

This was Lever's trade value, albeit as a 22 year old.



IMO, Corr as a 25 year old would bring a pick between 15-20 for a club targeting his type of player.

 

[Marstermind]

Aidan Corr = The ANZA

 

[winalotroos]

Corr- a bad Apple
