Corrie suffered a setback when he broke his jaw in round 12 in a collision with Essendon Football Club's Dustin Fletcher. A finger injury once again proved to be a setback to his career. In 2006, after a couple of in-form games, Corrie ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament on a fall against Fremantle, ending his season.

He was delisted at the end of 2006, but was redrafted by the Lions with their first selection in the 2006 Rookie Draft.

At the end of the 2008 season, Corrie was traded to Collingwood in return for pick 93.{{cite web|url=http://www.lions.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5085/newsid/68916/default.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091010194601/http://www.lions.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5085/newsid/68916/default.aspx|archive-date=10 October 2009|title=Pies get Lion Corrie for pick No.93}} He played 3 games for Collingwood in the next 2 seasons before being delisted at the end of the 2010 AFL season.
