Perry was drafted from the Eastern RangesTAC Cup side in the 2002 AFL Draft to the Kangaroos. 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 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.
Perry was officially delisted by the Kangaroos on 17 November 2006.
