Graham Johncock (born 21 October 1982) is an Australian rules football player with the Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League.

Graham is an indigenous Australian from near Port Lincoln in South Australia. He is known as "Stiffy", a nickname which stems from his surname.

[edit] Career Highlights

Johncock played every game in 2002 and in 2003, he scored the most goals for the Adelaide Crows with just 30.

Johncock was leading the club champion award early in the 2005 season before breaking his leg in a game against Melbourne in round seven. He had spent most of these games in defence, but was occasionally pushed forward. He missed a large chunk of the season, but returned before the finals and played a couple of games. He was hampered in the finals, however, by a leg injury.

In recent years, Johncock has been playing mainly as a defender, teaming with fellow indigenous player Andrew McLeod in running the ball out of defence. This was enough that he was named as a back pocket for the Dream Team in their clash with Victoria during 2008. Johncock did make a brief return to the forward line late that same season, as Adelaide desperately searched for someone to replace a host of injured forwards.

Johncock is known to support the local aboriginal communities. He also umpires the AFL Auskick for Aboriginals and is a member of the Make Poverty History campaign.^{[citation needed]}

It had been rumoured that he wanted a change of team for 2009, but after the 2008 draft he confirmed he wanted to stay at Adelaide.
