CibbuanoI'm ready to play: Bock
April 15th 2009 03:48
ADELAIDE defender Nathan Bock says he wants a club-imposed suspension lifted so he can resume with the Crows.
Bock was indefinitely suspended by the club after being reported by police for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend and causing property damage earlier this month.
Speaking on Adelaide radio, the All-Australian defender said he is in the right frame of mind to play.
"Yeah, I'm definitely ready to play," Bock said.
"I'm doing everything I can to give myself the best opportunity to resume playing as soon as possible and hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later."
"The club have given me criteria to undergo in terms of meeting specific expectations in terms of counselling sessions and what not so I feel we put a lot of those in place last week, we'll follow on with those this week and for the rest of the season."
"This time last week I was pretty much down and an emotional wreck so in terms of that my mental state is probably 100 percent better than it was last week."
The 26-year-old also revealed he hasn't been able to speak to his girlfriend since the incident which occurred at the General Havelock Hotel during the early hours of April 5.
"I haven't spoken with Carly as yet. Part of the bail agreements say I'm not allowed to have any contact with her which is has obviously been pretty tough, especially coming from a three-year relationship so in that sense it has been difficult," he said.
"From all reports from Carly's friends, and people from the footy club, that hopefully that process is in place and we can have some contact."
