Graham Johncock admits he needs to study the rule book but is keen to develop as a footballer during the International Rules Series in Ireland.“There’s going to be a lot of pretty talented players there,” Johncock said. “So I (want to) take something away from the trip, get to know those guys a bit better and maybe find out a few of their little secrets to take my game to another level.“Most of the guys I’ve played against a lot and it will be good to get to know them on a personal side. (I’d like to meet) Michael Voss; his record speaks for itself, so I’ll be looking forward to having a chat and catching up with him.”The hard-running defender will be representing Australia for the first time and admits it was a somewhat unexpected call-up.“It was something that just came up when a few guys dropped out from the All Australian team; I’m very happy about it,” Johncock said. “It’s definitely a big honour. It’s something that I can be pretty grateful for once I’ve finished my football career.”Johncock concedes that he still has a lot to learn before the first match at Pearce Stadium in Galway on October 28. However, he will be looking to use the skills learned from a junior soccer career.“(As a child) I played footy on a Saturday and soccer on a Sunday,” he said. “Hopefully I’ll be able to run around and kick it off the ground.“I’ve tried it (the round ball) a few times, but it’s something that I’ll have to get used to pretty quickly I think.“I’ve just been coming down here (to the cub) and having a few little training sessions with (Crows fitness assistant) Paul Haines, but I’ve got a bit of work to do.”Johncock is the only Crows player to have been selected in the International Rules squad this year.“There has been a little bit (of pressure) from Craigy and the boys around the place, telling me to keep on my toes cause I’m representing the club,” he said. “It’s something that I’ll be taking on board.”With Australia winning both matches convincingly last year, Johncock will be wary of an Irish side looking for retribution.“I’ve watched a few games over the last couple of years and they (the Irish) are a fiery bunch,” he said. “It will be definitely something to monitor. Over the last few years they’ve been tough to beat over there, and it’s same over here where we are tough to beat. I’ll be looking forward to it, and I’m sure the rest of the boys will be looking forward to putting on a good show.”
