Those stats show what a bargain he is, with Leon moving up to the midfield, Dick and Corrie can stay 1/2 forward and forward pocket and then change with Leon when he needs a rest.
Those stats are league worthy, and he is a bargain for basically free.
Hate to burst everyones bubble but I doubt Corrie will be anything at the Pies, yes a lot of people thought that about Medhurst but Medhurst was part of a trade wheras Corrie has effectively been delisted by Brisbane only they saved him the trouble of going through the draft.
Dont get me wrong, his good games will be upto AFL standard but he is, as someone else said the Leon Davis of three years ago, does a few freakish things but goes missing for weeks in which he will get 3 or 4 disposals.
He may turn into something at Collingwood but I doubt he will spend more time in the 1's than in the VFL yet as he was practically free its not too bad as long as he isnt taking a young kids place who is prepared to work hard for everything, which Corrie sometimes does not do.

Hate to burst your bubble mate... to me talk of him being delisted if he was not picked up or offloaded does not go down with me.
Go to the Lions homepage and check the stats for the year.
Many more players with far less returns have been kept
8th in total kicks - 175
Total disposals - 263
He also had 19 goal assists
I reckon there is more to this trade than is being told.
Must not get along with Voss

20 out of 22 is steal pretty good and MM does get the best out of the Players on the ListHis first half of the year was OK, but he did get dropped late in the season.
Would rate Corrie below the Medhurst of 2005? (his last year at Freo). But as with all trades it wont be until 2-3 years down the track that we know who won out of the deal. Pies may be able to work wonder with Corrie but as it stands now I cant see it happening.Well that was Like with Medders at Freo Did Some Good Thing and Could Go Missing and Do Something Special and He changed that at Pies. I don't expect as much improvement in Corrie but I can see him being a Descent Player.
I would not be suprised if he did start in the VFL but I excpect him to Play 10+ Games next year in the AFL. Remember medder played 2nds in his 1st Year and Leon will be a Great Example for Corrie to Follow

100% agree. Both teams have nothing to lose.Really a "nothing" trade much like when we gave Ben Davies to the Roos. Brisbane obviously said he probably won't get a game next year but they'll help him find a club that'll give him a second chance. I wouldn't be surprised if Brisbane don't even use the draft pick. Who knows, Corrie could be good at a new club but will most likely help out the vfl side.

Brisbane were going to delist him anyway, Collingwood were willing to take a chance. If it turns to shit then the Pies lost only a place on their list but if turns out OK then its a win.
Assistant coach Brad Scott is a former teammate of Anthony Corrie and is looking forward to his arrival at Collingwood.
“We brought in a new player, Anthony Corrie, who we think can be a really good player for us and is quite damaging with the ball,” Scott told Collingwoodfc.com.au earlier today.
“We are looking forward to him being a good contributor.”
“He is a dynamic-player who is quite explosive. A player you like with the ball in his hands because when he gets it, he uses it well.
“He runs with the footy and he is a player who can break the game open with his speed and use of the ball.”
Scott played three seasons with Corrie and believes he will be a good fit into the Collingwood line-up.
“He has got that strength where he can play forward, back or midfield. We see him predominately as a wingman/half-forward even a forward pocket type player.
“He is a player we want to get the ball in his hands and get him to use it well.”
