Liam Corrie

16-YEAR-OLD CORRIE DEBUTS’
Following in the footstep of Gavin Wanganeen who debuted for the Port Adelaide Magpies as a 16-year-old back in 1990, the South Adelaide football club unveiled another indigenous teenage talent in the opening round of the 2009 SANFL campaign.
In the Panthers first victory in the season opener Liam Corrie had his first taste of league football at the club home ground, Alan Hickinbotham oval, against West Adelaide, with South Adelaide winning the contest by 10 points.
“While he didn’t have a big impact on the game, Corrie copped a heavy knock in the second quarter and the opposition player was reported for forceful contact, (receiving a week’s suspension)” Panthers football manager Neale Sharpe, said.
“He pretty strong willed and despite being dazed, he wanted to get among the action again.
“As elusive, quick and clever player with his hands, Liam is a naturally talented young footballer, but there is still plenty of scope for improvement.
“A shy, level headed young man, he doesn’t seem to get overawed by much.
“With the new AFL rules he is not able to be drafted until 2010, as he was born in June 1992.”
It has been a meteoric rise for the 16-year as last year he was playing for the Morphett Vale football club, in the local suburban league south of Adelaide – the Southern Football League.
As a 15-year-old he was a member of the Emu’s Grand Final loss to the Cove.
There is no doubting his football heritage as Liam is a cousin of the Davey brothers, Aaron and Alwyn, along with also being related to former Brisbane and now Collingwood player Anthony Corrie.
At 175cm and 71 kgs, the lightly framed on baller and small forward has already been selected in the state under 18s academy, coached by Brenton Phillips.
“It was a tough initiation for Liam at league level, but he was a part of a winning side in his first game,” senior coach at this Noarlunga based club, Clay Sampson said.
“For his age and size, he is a tough little footballer.
“We were just wrapped with the way he prepared for the game and it was good for him to get a first taste of league football.
“He will start his career as a small forward, but with an improvement in fitness, he has the capacity, skill and awareness to play a role as a mid fielder.”
Sampson, an AFL premiership player himself with the Crows in 1997, played alongside Alwyn ‘Froggy” Davey at the Panthers before he got drafted, suggested while Liam Corrie will be bigger in size, he has the same attributes as the now Essendon footballer.
The SANFL talent manager Brenton Phillips agreed while the 16-year-old still had a lot to learn about the game, but he is a genuine talent.
“In time he will be able to play both the role of a small forward and on baller, but he needs to adjust to the pace of league football,” Phillips continued.
“Once he adjusts to the change of intensity, he’ll continue to grow.”
