corrie from the lions was delisted, i think he's worth a look. only with a late pick.

i think he's very talented, had a few injuries and struggled to break into the dominating lions team, but he has a class about him. plus, he's not kent kingsley...

thoughts??
 
Can't remember the Lions being to dominant the last couple of years, if he hasn't cemented a spot due to injuries then it may be wise to avoid him. We've got plenty of our own long term injuries to massage back into the side.
 
Undoubtably more potential than Schwartz (Battling DUD IMO) or Kingsley (NO). Watched Corrie develop a bit in Brissy - I think hes still pretty young (21-22?). I reckon if it was only between these 3, theres no comparison in terms of adding skill to a developing team, but I wouldnt pick him up either. Hes one of those players that looks outstanding at training, but never really makes an impact on game day.

Perfectly well ummed up by-Golly!  He's actually 23 next year, struggled with leg injuries.  Can be blistering and was thought to be as good (evasive) as Davey up here (both debuted in the same year and both from NT), but has not really gone on with it.  Is deceptively taller than you first think (been to some if skill sessions on the North Coast), nearly Bowdo's height I reckon, a touch shorter, so is capable of playing as a genuine utility if gets enough weight on dem bones.
 
I'd prefer a go at Corrie before Kingsley, Schwarze, Henneman, Limbach, Roach, McGough, B Schwarze...I'll just save myself the time...anyone who's been delisted so far. Injuries have derailed him but aside from that he's got good pace and pretty reasonable skills.
 
Pass, weve already got enough similar types in Jon, Tambo, Meyer and Krakouer in regard to smaller outside types
