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

[Themanbun]

Excellent today

 

[The Nostradamus]

Has been very good in recent weeks

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Credit where Credit is due. He played a really good game today and would be on the top 3 for the team. I also liked the fact that he tried to keep encouraging young Dawson who has a tough first up game.

 

[blackshadow]

He was excellent today.
I’ll eat a bowl of humble pie. I was highly critical of him early in the season and never wanted to see him line up in the team again.
Full credit to Aidan for turning it around and being a real contributor for a while now.

[The acurate one]

Excellent today

Is always pretty good tbf.

And should have a couple of more seasons left in him. Which is grand news.

 

[amaz199]

Completely and utterly destroyed Langford. Even the goal Langford got wasn't his fault. Just dumb and bad play up the ground ruined what would've been a clean sheet.

This sort of form is why we got Corr and why he's still playing in the 1s. Despite my frustrations, perhaps the inclusion of Comben back there has given Corr some freedom to nullify his opponents.

Also liked the fact he pointed at Scott when the ball was turned over. Standards.

 

[GoRoos2023]

Great game, fair play to him

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Probably his best game for North. Credit to him his last 3-4 weeks has been much better and there wasn’t even any crazy bananas out of defence today

Please keep it up

Spot on Leo. I’ve been a big critic of Corr. I’d rank that as one of his best outings for North. :stern look

 

[Waynesworld]

Funny how plenty on here right him off at the start of every season.

Funny how plenty on here right him off at the start of every season.

People have rightly pointed to our senior players not holding up, but at least 3 of them had significantly interrupted or slow pre-seasons, McDonald with hamstring surgery/recovery, Jy with concussion and Corr with a bad ankle

It takes time to work back into form, and no coincidence that it's this deep into the season before Corr and McDonald have got going

Don't think it's just that.

Corr was given the main KPD role with Biggie/Pink and Dawson, it wasn't a very reassuring mix. With Comben back there, Wilson and himself as the third defender, the mix feels more compatible. It feels normal. Perhaps Lmac is also feeling more comfortable now he doesn't have to always get in front of a 100kg behemoth.

 

[Devil Fish]

Great game by Apples today. As a 3rd key defender, he goes ok.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Funny how plenty on here right him off at the start of every season.

Thats because his first 6 weeks were absolutely atrocious

 

[tazaa]

Great game.
Kept that flop to 3 kicks before that bullshit soccer came back inside 50.

This is the standard.

 

[viccles]

He's not meant for the main key defender - he does well when he's on the 3rd though

 

[viccles]

He's not made to be the main key defender - he does well when he's on the 3rd best though

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Played to the level you should expect of a 27 year old defender.

More.

Right on TPA! They’re not in starvation corner down there so they either improve or aren’t

 

[Possession]

Has finally found his groove again. I actually forgot Langford was even playing for most of the game yesterday, and the one goal he did get wasn't even really Corr's fault. Keep it up.

 

[75-77-96-99]

i can tell u all... Corrs ankle was worse than first thought .. he could hardly walk 2 weeks before the season start... people must realize he was in pain and that was just pain to walk let alone run...

 

[The Nostradamus]

Game 150 milestone this week

 

[roos_tt29]

Last year he started pretty poorly coming off a short pre-season. That's what I'm expecting this year too.
By mid-year (if he can stay on the park), I'd back him to get back into form.

Looks like it's happening

 

[King Corey]

I feel a bit for Corr. Think he's a competitor and a good character to have in the group, on-field venting notwithstanding.

Wonder if he's playing injured? He's better than what he's producing and I don't think it's attitude related.

Knowing smug nod.
