Joel Corey Biography

Joel Corey will move into the role of midfield coach at Fremantle in 2023 following the departure of Josh Carr.

Joel Corey will join Fremantle as a development coach in 2021, while Matthew Boyd has been appointed as Fremantle's defensive coach.

Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge reassigns responsibilities among his assistants ahead of the 2017 season.

Steven King has moved from midfield to defensive coach, Joel Corey has stepped up from stoppages to midfield, forward coach Daniel Giansiracusa has taken over stoppages, reigning VFL premiership coach Ashley Hansen is now in charge of the Dogs attack, and defensive coach Rohan Smith has become the head of development.

Already blessed with outstanding endurance, Caleb Daniel says his work with Bulldogs assistant coaches Joel Corey and Daniel Giansiracusa had made him a much shrewder footballer.

"When you're younger you're all about running wherever the footy goes and Joel talks about smart running patterns and the way you can influence the game and save your legs by being a smarter runner, and that's helped me out a lot," Daniel said.

"Gia was one of the best leading forwards in the competition when he was up and going and he's passed a lot of those tips across to me."

Giants CEO Dave Matthews admits that the club tried to entice retired Geelong stars Matthew Scarlett and Joel Corey to the club at the end of 2013.

"We've really left no stone unturned... to see what sort of experience we could add," he said.

"We thought nothing ventured, nothing gained. They are both great people and super players."

Retired Cat Joel Corey joins the Western Bulldogs as a development coach.

"Joel is highly respected across the industry for his selfless attitude and desire to make his peers better, and we are thrilled to again have someone of such high calibre choose to join the Western Bulldogs," the club's general manager of football, Graham Lowe, said.

"We know Joel is a high-quality person. His premiership experience, along with his outstanding character, make him an excellent addition to our group of coaches as well as the football department broadly."

Joel Corey retires after 276 games with Geelong.

"I have been fortunate to have met outstanding people, from players, coaches, staff and trainers that I am proud to call my friends," Corey said.

"The club has always put its people first, and has always been there for me, helping my development and challenging and supporting me as both a player and a person."

On the eve of Joel Corey's 250th game, Cameron Ling says the three-time premiership Cat is one of the club's finest players.

"He's a fantastic player, a fierce competitor and a quality contested ball player, which is something I rate very highly," Ling said.

"But also his influence within the group, in terms of building that culture of success, has been huge."

Veteran midfielder Joel Corey's says a change to his training program helped him cope with a chronic knee injury last year.

"I'm never on my legs three days in a row, that kind of stuff," Corey said.

"I've put more emphasis on leg weights and making sure the leg is strong. Hopefully I can stay injury free and contribute through the season."

Corey Enright has won his second Carji Greeves Medal, topping the Cats' best and fairest count narrowly ahead of Joel Corey.

A second knee operation has Geelong midfielder Joel Corey finally on the comeback trail after being out since round four.

"It eventuated from that first injury that wasn't fixed properly the first time around," Corey said.

"There was a bit of time, about a month, when I was in limbo. Then the surgeon decided to have another look. It was a relief that they found something wrong in the operation."

Geelong midfielder Joel Corey, who has been out since round 4, faces another month on the sidelines after exploratory surgery today to determine the extent of his knee injury.

Geelong forward Max Rooke will undergo investigative knee surgery after struggling to shake the tendonitis that has troubled him this season.

"Max has come up a bit sore and he's actually having some investigative surgery on his knee to see how we go," football operations manager Neil Balme told said.

"We're a little unsure how long that will take; we don't think it's too long term, but it's certainly a bit of an issue for him."

Geelong's Max Rooke is struggling to be fit in time for the Cats' 2010 season opener against Essendon due to knee tendinitis.

"I'm not sure about Rookey, you'd probably say he won't play Round 1 but he won't be far off," coach Mark Thompson said.

Geelong midfielder Joel Corey has undergone knee surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his knee and will miss the start of the season.

"Joel suffered a similar injury in 2005 and after the same procedure he returned after three weeks and we think this will be the same outcome," Geelong's general manager of football operations Neil Balme said.

"You never want an injury, but in these cases it could always be worse. We are confident that Joel will be available early in the season.

Cameron Ling will lead Geelong's premiership defence as captain this season, with an expanded leadership group behind him.

"It's got a bit of romanticism to it - Cameron supported the Cats when he was a kid, played for St Josephs, played for the Falcons, played for our VFL team, played for our AFL team, became an All-Australian, has finished in the top-four seven times in our best-and-fairest and is a dual premiership player both in the pre-season comp and the home-and-away season," Cats chief executive Brian Cook said.

"It speaks volumes for him - not only does he meet his commitments on the field and off the field, but he displays great values."

Cameron Ling will head Geelong's leadership group that includes Gary Ablett, Jimmy Bartel, Joel Corey, Corey Enright, Joel Selwood, James Kelly and Harry Taylor. Kelly and Taylor are new additions to the group for 2010.

Geelong coach Mark Thompson nominates Joel Corey as an option for standing Carlton key forward Brendan Fevola in the absence of the injured Matthew Scarlett.

"He is only an option Joel," Thompson said.

"He is a power forward. He is a really good player and Scarlo is not there, so someone else is going to have to play on him."

Jimmy Bartel kicks the winning point after the siren to sink the Hawks after the Cats had trailed by as many as 28 points in the final quarter.

"I was pretty lucky, actually, to get on the end of it," Bartel said.

"Probably most people didn't see Matty Stokes put an amazing block on for me, and Joel Corey probably stepped around about three blokes to get it away, so I was just on the end of those two doing a good job."

Acting Geelong captain Joel Corey says he is happy that Tom Harley is returning to the side this week to resume captaincy duties.

"It was a nice change, but I was pretty much just keeping it warm for Tom and Cameron for when they got back, but it was nice to lead such a good team," Corey said.

"Being captain is not overly different. You walk out first, and you have the last say, but that's about it.

"I don't mind having the last say, but I won't mind handing it back."

Geelong midfielder Joel Corey is prepared to be used as a defender in the absence of Josh Hunt and Tom Harley, who have knee injuries.
