A fast, hard-running small forward with good goal sense. Played four games last season, mainly off the bench, before injuring an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, ruling him out for 12 months. Was delisted at the end of the season but selected in the rookie draft. Renowned for his chasing and tackling.

I've always had a soft spot for this bloke and he's probably lucky to even have a gurnsey. I've heard rumours many times that he'd show up to recovery sessions smelling hard of alcohol and partying hard.

He was lucky to play a few games late last season after recovering from his knee reconstruction, which has been a huge set-back in his career.

A top talent and one I hope steps up and fires this year. Quite versatile who can play either forward or back pocket. I prefer him forward and playing the Fly McRae type role.

I'd also like to see him thrown into the midfield in 5-10min bursts for his speed factor.

Lucky to play this guy. Yet one more player who needs to step up.

Last chance season for him I believe and I hope he does well. He's apparantely on the straight road now due to his long-time girlfriend and her parents. Toned him right down.

I'd love to have him as a running halfback, a sort of Peter Burgoyne.

Did he ever step up this week. Still not match fit enough to run the whole game, but his fourth quarter showed amazing commitment and skill level. Huge wraps.

Brilliant consistent player. Been one of our best so far in 2008.

The knee reconstruction has really helped Corrie to mature and appreciate playing footy @ this level more.

Uses the footy well and doesn't waste posessions often.

Pretty much our only solid four-quarter player last week.
