Player Watch #4: Aidan Corr - the Mac Daddy of the King Twins.

[Themanbun]

He's missed a lot of football but on the bold:

1. Walker is bigger.
2. Walker can't be trusted to do anything else. If Corr is taking the big forward in a negating role that leaves Walker attacking or peeling off more... Personally I trust Corr with ball in hand or to make the smart defensive decision more than Walker.

Or it leaves Walker out of the side.

Or it leaves Walker out of the side.

I've made my thoughts pretty clear on Walker in the medium term, as of today that isn't realistic (admittedly a whole different discussion) however by end of year it most definitely should be on the cards.

No COVID for Corr?

No COVID for Corr?

Nope just illness will be back in this week

Roos set for much-needed boost after Corr confusion

Yep confirmed

 

[Val Keating]

Nice. Jeez it makes it tough when we lose our 2 key backs for a game, we’ve got no cover.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Out Walker in Corr

 

[The Nostradamus]

Out Walker in Corr

Larkey out should save walker unless Comben is ready

Need marking targets up forward which is where walker will go but Larkey back the week after so 1 more week of him only

Not a fan of Walker forward...

Just don't think he can be as effective at all.

Would rather we give Jack a run at it and have the small forwards surrounding the pack. Would be heaps more dangerous.

Same. If we think the structure down back doesn't need that 3rd tall we should try playing with extra run in the team.

I'm with you, but don't be surprised if they send Walker down there

Small forwards? Plural?

 

[amaz199]

Small forwards? Plural?

My mistake. Only Paul Curtis is a genuine small/medium forward in the team rn.

The realisation is real. We really need more of these guys.

 

[year of the roo]

Horrid footballer.

 

[Hazey1977]

Horrid footballer.

So it's not just be thinking he's having a mare?

Freo's best player so far

 

[Jasemon]

The way he got sat on his arse with the slightest of touches by a first gamer was humiliating. How much are we paying this guy? We are currently an embarrassment of a football club when we’re depending on guys like this.

 

[The Nostradamus]

3rd tall

Doesn’t have the body strength unless playing on tweeners

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Just to remind everyone that we elevated this guy into the leadership group after playing 2 games with us.

Makes sense, along with Turner.

 

[Pagans Paddock99]

Anyone else disappointed with Corr’s output?

Signed on a 5 year deal worth $600k, turning 28 in a few weeks - seems to not have reached the heights we would have hoped?

Ranked below average for spoils, intercepts and 1 on 1 contests.

Why does Walker always take the big key forwards and Corr gets the 3rd forward? If it is done to allow him to intercept, he isn’t doing that and the opposition forwards like Jeremy Cameron

are having field days.

With McKay out this week it will be a big week for Corr to hold the backline together!

Hoping he is just finding his feet after not playing last year, but we need our experienced players to be leading the way in our current predicament.

The moment he is given any responsibility he does nothing.

He is in the top 5 oldest in our squad and I would prefer Marty Hore in our VFL squad than this spud who can only play on small forwards or first gamers!

Just like with Polec, the old admin were just so happy that someone wanted to come to the club. 5 year deal for this spud who is guaranteed a game whenever fit because there’s nobody else on the list.
Horrible

I guarantee if he was pick 76 in the 2018 draft, he wouldn’t be playing.

He is playing to purely save face on the massive investment by recruiters. The fact that he is never given any responsibility to play on anyone of size highlights his inept ability.

Another player who thinks they are the ‘icing’ when we need ‘cake’ players. Hugely disappointing and avoids scrutiny on minimal contribution to such a poor back 6.

Stop playing him on the 3rd forward when Walker is largely irrelevant anyway.

I’m almost ready for them to just play Archer after no VFL form as atleast you’re going to get a contest.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Ordinary footballer in an awful team.

The Apple is no good. Is he another Luff/Rawlings master stroke?
