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

[RossHenshaw]

Hay could at least defend one on one.

With the ball.... well... I'm having flashbacks and now I'll go cry.

Spud

 

[Jasemon]

Was awful in that first half.

a 5 year deal only north Melbourne would do such a thing. These people who are supposedly meant to be qualified to do a job in building a list couldn’t even organise a piss up at brewery bloody joke

 

[Jasemon]

Corr for what we payed him and the length of contract we’ve given him is diabolically awful. Walker we know is a spud. Corr on the other hand is the kind of decision that puts us back years.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He was good at GWS. Looks slow and fumbly. Is a 3rd defender not a main KPD

If he ever shapes up to take a kick in again, it is incumbent on a member of the cheer squad to jump on the field to intervene.

Said member of the crowd would probably defend better too.

 

[DarwinRoo]

And who was the dickhead who recruited him and gave him half a million dollars?

And the ****wits who put him in the leadership group after playing only 2 games at the club.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Hot garbage

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Just remember - not only did we give him a 5 year deal - more importantly we gave him a leadership position after playing 2 games with us.

 

[Devington]

His defending would be impacted by his role and the disfunction of the back half in general, that doesn't excuse everything though and I was hoping he would have worked into better form by now. That said unless he still has major foot/toe issues he shouldn't be kicking like hot garbage quite so much.

I don't have particularly strong thoughts on his recruitment, though his leadership position (along with Turner's) does raise the eyebrows slightly.

 

[Reagan Smash]

If you're getting paid a very handsome six figure salary. You should be able to hit a 20 to 40 metre pass especially under zero pressure

 

[guapo]

His contract is the third worst our club has signed this decade:
1. Polec
2. Hay
3. Corr

All long term, overpaid, poor decisions

You forgot the 3 year deals to Tommy C and Tyson

 

[Devil Fish]

On face value Corr is looking like a bust.

But there is also the school of thought that he has been infected by Noble virus, because he was never this bad at GWS.

Maybe he just needs to get triple jabbed.

 

[guapo]

Yep - great calls but do any of those befit top 3. Corr is playing through necessity, but he’s no better than Tom C and Tom D

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

I don't know why this thread is buried so deep. I had to use google to find it.

I was always of the opinion that Aiden was a handy third defender in a very good team but today against the giants he got plenty of the ball, used it well and smashed the ball with the fist several times. He looked a very good player which I haven't seen from him before.

The real Corr problem is his age because we are three years from being competitive butIi will be looking hard at him for the rest of the year.

Remember I hate onballers and love blokes who beat their direct opponent.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He’s a good player.

10 spoils last night. Solid dour game from a KPD.

I suspect a year out with a toe infection meant he was a bit underdone at the start of the season. He has been consistent and a top 10 BnF finish and potentially top 5 if he keeps it up for the rest of the year.

 

[nelroo]

We ( being down the bottom) would never attract free agents unless it’s a long term deal. Let it go. He is a good player. You’d hope it’s heavily front loaded however..

 

[Caracas]

I hope Corr’s mantra going forward is “make every effort to not be on the back foot”. He’s so much better when he has an attacking disposition.

Yeah, it's not at Polec levels of "diabolical decision" but he really isn't that good from his performances this season.

I am not exactly sure what he is even elite at, he is sort of ok at lots of qualities, decent all-round backman sure, but he is nowhere near the player I was told he was going to be as a "gun" etc etc.

Maybe he can improve, I certainly hope so as McKay is much better already.

Seriously, bar 3 or 4 players has anyone been that good this year?

True. I think he has been solid, but for a pretty high priced FA I don't really see the reason why we chased him.

I don't think we would be any better or worse with him. He offers nothing offensively and is too small for the big forwards which is left to McKay (or Walkers)

Maybe i'm being harsh, I just don't know exactly what he offers us now or long term.

 

[The acurate one]

Yeah he was free besides his salary of course.

I'd rather a FA on a shitload than a CCJ for pick #19.
Just sayin

Oh well
