2009 season
Coming off 20 AFL matches in the 2008 season playing for Brisbane, Anthony Corrie struggled to add to his career match total in his first year at Collingwood.  Drafted by the Magpies with pick 93 at the end of 2008, Corrie showed strong form in the opening three VFL matches before receiving a call up to the seniors.  Three consecutive games in the AFL were all the 25-year-old could manage before seeing out the rest of the season in the VFL.

Corrie’s form wavered throughout the year, showing he was capable of racking up big numbers (23 possessions in round nine and 29 possessions in the preliminary final), yet was unable to maintain his impact over successive weeks.

His ability to break the lines and deliver the ball inside 50 with his powerful right boot combined with a larger fitness base could prove potent next year.

After six seasons in the system, Corrie will be just one of a handful of Magpies vying for a spot in the opening round of the AFL season.

Career
Corrie played five seasons at the Lions notching up 53 games.  A knee reconstruction in 2007 saw Corrie miss most of the season.  A successful recovery allowed him to play 20 games in the 2008 season using his pace and skill to break the lines and provide effective distribution of the ball.  Was traded to Collingwood at the end of the 2008 season.  Corrie was unable to break into the Magpie side in 2009, managing three senior matches, but showed glimpses of his skill with two goals against North Melbourne in round six.�
