Ryder Corrigan has been in the talent pathway for a number of years and first burst onto the scene as the Giants Academy's MVP at the 2023 Under 16 National Championships. Since, he has linked with the Murray Bushrangers and established himself in the Allies side this year, bringing his crash-and-bash style to the midfield rotation.

The Lavington product possesses a powerful right boot and a hard-edge that few in his draft class can match. Although, he tends to lack a touch of polish - particularly by foot - when playing his typical surge style. Being able to add finesse to his strong contested game will allow him to extract maximum damage from the metres he gains. 

Clubs looking for a tough inside midfielder late in the draft could well see Corrigan as a viable option. He is someone who could make a fairly immediate impact given his physical attributes, and won't necessarily have the dreaded 'go home factor' given he hails from the NSW-Victorian border.

DRAFT RANGE: Late/Rookie
