Assistant coach Brad Scott is a former teammate of Anthony Corrie and is looking forward to his arrival at Collingwood.
“We brought in a new player, Anthony Corrie, who we think can be a really good player for us and is quite damaging with the ball,” Scott told Collingwoodfc.com.au earlier today.
“We are looking forward to him being a good contributor.”
“He is a dynamic-player who is quite explosive. A player you like with the ball in his hands because when he gets it, he uses it well.
“He runs with the footy and he is a player who can break the game open with his speed and use of the ball.”
Scott played three seasons with Corrie and believes he will be a good fit into the Collingwood line-up.
“He has got that strength where he can play forward, back or midfield. We see him predominately as a wingman/half-forward even a forward pocket type player.
“He is a player we want to get the ball in his hands and get him to use it well.”
