Ibbo was a great get by FFC, he was a bit left field at the time for that high in the draft, but never let us down. Solid throughout, he grew in stature until basically the team fell to bits. As discussed above, really unlucky not to be a premiership player. It feels a bit strange looking back on his career,- the years have ripped past- I can remember some friend of the family coming on to dockerland exhorting us to nickname him 'backpack' immediately after drafting, a few years later I can remember asking my-then very young son who his favourite docker was, and being shocked when he took his time to consider, and then said Ibbo (very high praise, let me tell you), and I rate him our best intercept mark ever, ahead of Haddrill and Johnno. Just well played Sir. But I hope you don't get that premiership at Peel, because that should be going to the mighty Southerners.
