Joel Perry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joel Perry (born 18 June 1985) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Perry was drafted from the Eastern Ranges TAC Cup side in the 2002 AFL Draft to the Kangaroos, and was selected as a development player. He did not get a look in into the senior lineup until 2005, when he played in the Wizard Cup pre-season competition. Named as an emergency in Round 9 of 2005, he finally made his debut after his fourth year on the Kangaroos' list in Round 2, 2006.
Joel was surprisingly dropped from the Kangaroos lineup after a very serviceable performance in the Round 15 game against the Brisbane Lions at the Telstra Dome. Perry was unable to force his way back into the side for the remainder of the season, despite many disappointing performances by the Senior team.
Perry was officially delisted by the Kangaroos on the 17th of November 2006. Many supporters have been critical of this decision, feeling Perry had been unfairly treated, whilst other senior defensive players failed to perform for the entire season.
