Before he was a star for the Adelaide Crows, Graham Johncock played his junior footy for the Mallee Park Peckers in Port Lincoln.

His post-AFL career has taken him back to Mallee Park, where numerous AFL players had their start, and where Johncock once again plays and coaches at.

This week on FOOTYplus, we catch up with ‘stiffy’ to learn more about the unassuming football club in the heart of Port Lincoln.

“A lot of people say we’re putting something in the water or something like that,” Johncock said.

The early days it was Peter Burgoyne, Byron Pickett, they sort of set the standard for a lot of our youth that were coming through at the time.”

Johncock also gives us the story behind how a fellow Mallee Park junior, Eddie Betts, ended up with his famed No. 18 when he became a Crow.

Later, Josh Jenkins speaks about the highs and lows of social media as an elite athlete and we catch up with Adelaide United’s favourite son, Craig Goodwin, about returning home from a difficult stint overseas.

For gym lovers, Crows Physical Performance coach Nathan Heaney straightens out a few common myths in the gym.
