Joel Corey- the forgotten geelong midfielder superstar

He's hardly flown under the radar, he was in the bloody All Australian team.
Good honest midfielder who benefitted from teams focussing their attention on Bartel, Ablett jr, etc. The least deserving of all Geelong's AA picks except Mooney.
Did he have a better season than Mitchell, Foley, Hodge, Priddis, Simon Black, Swan or Tarkyn Lockeyer? No.

Mate your spot on.
He is exactly the same as Chad Fletcher. Other teams worried about Judd, Kerr, Cousins but Fletcher was left alone and was able to get a heap of the ball.

His figures would suggest he's probably better than the players you mentioned. That said, I do agree he benefited from not having the quality tag like some of the others.
The guy is still a super player, but the AA selectors probably rely too much on the numbers just like the umpires do when giving Brownlow votes.
I'd have Mitchell in ahead, as he has to shake a good tag every week.
Hodge & Lockyer were very unlucky too.

Statistically? Yes.
In effect? The All-Australian selectors thought so.
Were any of those players mentioned clearly better than Corey this season? No.
Under the radar?
AA selection, highlighted as one part of the 62 vote winning Geelong midfield. Mate if you haven't heard a whisper about Corey, you're watching the Women's Soccer World Cup.
I reckon Mitchell, Black and Hodge were clearly better than Corey.
I rate Corey very highly, but those 3 are elite players who play at a different level to Corey when they get going.

Black didn't even make the top 50 for possessions in the league. You're just not going to make AA with those numbers.
A very strong case could be made for Hodge and Mitchell, but again, they weren't clearly better. It was probably a coin flip between them.

Only guy to be top 5 in the AFL for clearances, tackles and possessions. AA selection was disputed, but not to the point where it was a complete joke.
Good clearance player, had a very good year, but his disposal was less than impressive last week. Had a fair few inside 50 entries, but I can't remember one hitting the target. He along with a few others will have to use the ball better tomorrow.
Those two are the only ones worthy of superstar.
I hope he wins the Norm Smith Medal. I have him in the office sweep.
Chance of the norm smith? Or would it go to another player with 20 useful possies rather than 30 average ones
