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

[Samsquanch]

Exactly what we need as 30+ year olds in a couple of years. Hopefully he is still playing like the last couple of months next year.

Late September 2025...




I like it.

Injured?

Corr?

Blimey!

Corr?

Blimey!

Same ankle as the start of the season ?

 

[hotchilli]

Injured?

He went off down the rooms during the game and assume had the ankle re-strapped. Certainly looked a bit proppy at times when he came back on.

 

[King Corey]

True North type. Absolute competitor.

Would get along well with Firrito, Thompson, Archer Sr, Martyn etc.

He has been last on this list in other seasons but he has had his best season by a fair way. I have been a constant critic and I wonder if his contract is up this year. Martin Pike used to bludge with a two year contract so the Lions only gave him one years deals. A new contract needed focuses the mind.
Unfortunately I think he will be a bit old in a couple of years when we can realistically hope for finals but he has been a good player for us this year and deserves some praise.

 

[Themanbun]

Had an excellent back half of the season.

I never thought he had it. Looked slow and sloppy disposal. He’s stood up for us this year when we’ve needed it. Kudos to him, he just needed some help.

I'm convinced he was playing at 60%. Funny how you can look slower and unskilled when you just don't have the freshness in the legs to let you move and position properly.

 

[DocSholl]

Actually thought he was pretty good for a lot of last year too, in a dog's breakfast of a backline

 

[roos_fanatic08]

It’s no coincidence that his and Lmac’s form has improved since we dropped the ugly zone defence we were trying to run with earlier in the year.

Both Corr and LMac don’t have the speed to deal with the ball being sling shot out the back with acres of space.

We are clogging up the corridor far better now and it results in the likes of Corr having to play a more simplistic role of defending their man with far less available space.

Must say he deserves a shinboner award or sumfink.

Thought he played a great game, especially when you consider he was going to miss.

Has limited the brain fades and defended very very well.

Kudos

 

[amaz199]

Gun. Instrumental in the last 5 mins especially to kill the game.

 

[Frank Thring]

23 possessions and 13 marks while keeping his opponent to 8 possessions and a goal. So solid

All players have brain fades, even the great ones. We just tend to forget them.

Exhibit A: Choppy kicking it straight to a Carlton player dead it front from a kick out in a grand final.

 

[R00StaR]

Had an excellent back half of the season.

He needs a large block of games to get back into the swing of it, but even knowing that i was starting to wonder around mid year. He's back on track and playing his best footy atm (for us at least) imo.

[Blightys Barrel]

Also has only had Logue there for 2 games, and he is now gone for the rest of the season. Has been great to watch his leadership emerge during the darkest hours. Would be interesting to see if they extend on his current 5 year deal into 2026?

 

[DocSholl]

Watching him in the video the club put up of the coach's post match address, just seems like a great guy and someone the group would love playing with. Stoked for him this season, he's been excellent and just seems to fit the fabric of the club.

 

[DuckYeah]

Top 5 BnF for Correy

He has the odd epic brain fade, but can't question his effort lately.

 

[WinterRoos]

Going in for surgery on his shoulder this Thursday.

Going in for surgery on his shoulder this Thursday.

Must be for carrying LMac and Fisher on his shoulders most of the year. Considering his slow start to the year, he came home with a wet sail. I reckon top 8 in the SYD B would be a worthy result.
