Teams

Honours

Recruited from the Port Adelaide Magpies with pick 67 in the 2000 National Draft, Graham Johncock proved to be one of the great bargains in Adelaide's recruiting history. While he initially made his mark as a opportunistic small forward, he arguably played his best football after settling into a role as a rebounding defender. Known for his deceptive strength and courage, Johncock regularly played above his height in one-on-one marking contests and became the architect of the Crows' transition game, often tasked with kick-in duties due to his composure and elite disposal efficiency.

Johncock's versatility remained a key asset throughout his tenure at West Lakes; notably, he was swung back into attack during the 2011 season and finished as the club's leading goalkicker in a difficult year for the team. A consistent performer who finished top-three in the Malcolm Blight Medal count on three separate occasions, he established himself as a fan favourite and a durable leader within the playing group. He retired midway through the 2013 season as a prestigious 200-game one-club player and was later honoured with selection in the Indigenous Team of the Century.
