FREMANTLE midfielder Garrick Ibbotson is the Round 9 NAB AFL Rising Star nominee following his impressive performance in the Dockers' nine-point loss to Carlton at Telstra Dome last weekend.
Ibbotson was among Fremantle’s best against the Blues, racking up 21 possessions in his seventh AFL match.
Fremantle’s second selection (26th overall) in the 2005 NAB AFL Draft, Ibbotson is averaging 19 disposals per game in 2008.
Fremantle coach Mark Harvey said Ibbotson was a key part of the club's future.
"Garrick is a hard-working and talented player who, along with several other of our younger blokes, will form the backbone of Fremantle's future," he said.
"Garrick's nomination follows Rhys Palmer's nomination earlier in the season and is a big positive for the Fremantle Football Club and our supporters."
