Player Watch #4: Aidan Corr - out for 4-6 weeks after suffering calf strain setback

[Passmore]

When is enough, enough.

Now it seems.

 

[kangatragic]

Would of dropped Comben before him. Actually I would of dropped both and bring in Pink.

 

[Chadwiko]

Would of dropped Comben before him

Would have dropped both Logue and Comben before Corr.
Very stiff.

 

[Themanbun]

Love him, but there were multiple times where for whatever reason he was caught walking while his man was dangerous.

Had to be done and hopefully he learns.

Why do you love him?

He's one of the most infuriating players to ever pull on our jumper imo.

He's prone to brain farts when he has the ball. As a defender, he's actually solid.

People never notice defenders unless they pull off insane marks or make blunders. Good, solid spoils and preventative play get no mention. Would not want to see where we'd be without him. Probably on a seventy game losing streak

When the ball was bouncing between him and - was it Lewis Young? - and he stuck out a hand instead of taking contact; well, enough said

 

[Private Hudson]

Good riddance.

He's solid defensively in the contest I agree.

However I'm not sure I've ever seen an AFL key defender just casually stroll off his man and head upfield, do nothing offensively, then is caught out of position entirely when the ball comes back into defence.

It's just absolutely ridiculous how often he does this.

Maybe Clarko has had enough of it as well, who knows.

 

[shinboner magic]

Looked like he was on train tracks and couldn’t change direction

 

[Twangler]

Probably been our best defender (not that that’s saying too much). He’s been decent one on one all year and from my eye majority of goals against have come from some iffy free kicks against. Bit of a weird call to drop him.

 

[koshari]

Comben is obviously being backed unequivocally for an interceptor role.

The adelaide game showed it was pretty obvious pink was sacrificed to take one of the big 3 in tex to free up chom.

Tex kicked 4 (2 not necessarily on pinks watch as he Plucked them out of ruck contests) and pink was sunsiquently dropped. Meanwhile other than a patch against godees chome really stunk it up in the role.

Longer term if choms going to de a defender he teally has to learn to defend. Also needs to be smarter and know when he is outpointed in a marking contest to spoil rather than always trying to mark.

Really?

He has been slaughtered in most 1-on-1s that I’ve seen.

He is ok if he can get a run at it and outmark but doesnt have any other strings to his bow currently.

 

[Waynesworld]

Also interesting that he has been asked to play on the key forwards whilst Chom has been left to play loose. And then gets dropped for losing one on ones where the ball comes in like a flood.

Not really, same thing happened to pink

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Please don’t come back

He gets turned a lot, and then is trailing from behind

 

[Waynesworld]

Not really, same thing happened to pink

Pink was dropped for Logue to come back in after his injury, when in reality Pink was playing some good footy.

 

[year of the roo]

What I want to know is when is he out of contract? He signed for 5 years, which would make him OOC this season, but there is a report of him having another year to go, which would be a shame. I was hoping Will Dawson would be more advanced in his pursuit of Corr's position, too. Instead we're going to try playing Arch and Luke as 'talls'.

 

[Themanbun]

He got dropped because he wasn't putting in the required effort in those one on ones, IMO.

 

[shinboner magic]

Yeah he gave up after the initial contest

 

[Merlin007]

He got dropped because he wasn't putting in the required effort in those one on ones, IMO.

And sticking his hand out to take possession to avoid contact

 

[Horizons_00]

He got dropped because he wasn't putting in the required effort in those one on ones, IMO.

I’ve seen the same poor efforts with Powell, Sheezal, LDU, Cam etc

We can’t drop everyone though lol

 

[tazaa]

I’d say his recruitment has been an unmitigated disater.

He has been apart of and led one of, if not the worst defensive units the AFL has ever seen.

Not big enough to play on the big boys and not quick enough to take on the smalls. And yes this ain’t his fault, he is who he is - but his time as North has been nothing short of a failure.
