Our Season Summary looks back at how each GIANTS player fared during the 2015 AFL season.
Name: Aidan Corr
Number: 35
2015 Games: 19 AFL, 3 NEAFL
AFL Fantasy Average: 38
Awards: Nil
Background: Aidan Corr was selected with pick 14 in the 2012 NAB AFL Draft. He made his debut against Essendon in Round 6, 2013.
Best Game: AFL Round 9 v Western Bulldogs - 16 touches, 6 marks, 3 tackles, 10 one-percenters and 6 rebound-50s.
Summary: Few GIANTS developed more than defender Aidan Corr this season after the 21-year-old cemented himself as one of the club’s key defenders. Corr played the majority of the season and was forced to match-up on some more experienced opponents in the absence on Tim Mohr and - at times - co-captain Phil Davis and Joel Patfull. Corr led the club in one-percenters (spoils, shepherds, knock-ons and smothers) and was ranked 16th in the competition overall.
Pat On The Back: Corr wasn’t intimidated by his bigger opponents and his ruthless competitiveness helped effectively cover some of his injured teammates.
What They Said: “He’ll have his ups and downs but we see him as a long-term player for this footy club and we can see that he’s going to hold down one of those key posts for the next ten years we hope.” - GIANTS Coach Leon Cameron.
Look Ahead: With the GIANTS’ key defensive stocks already tested with Tim Mohr suffering another ACL rupture, expect Aidan Corr to play a similar role in 2016. He may be stretched at times by more experienced opponents but he’s learning quicker than most.
