Who do you think will win the 2014 NAB AFL Rising Star? (Nine captains correctly nominated Jaeger O’Meara in 2013)
Jack Martin (Gold Coast, 7 votes), James Aish (Brisbane Lions, 2), Jack Billings (St Kilda, 2), Joe Daniher (Essendon, 2), Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs, 1), Harry Cunningham (Sydney Swans, 1), Brodie Grundy (Collingwood, 1), Josh Kelly (GWS, 1), Luke McDonald (North Melbourne, 1).
No one who has seen him play in the NAB cup I would surmise!
Tough gig playing small forward in our team.
Also wouldnt have been Hodgey as he is Colac, not private school

Agreed but did you see Josh KELLY's game against us? Saints have picked Billings on potential because there was a huge gap in game readiness between the two!
SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

We were also very aware of Jack 3's bursitis restricted '13. He also lost at least a month of preseason due to a quad (?).
He'll make ground pretty quickly, I reckon, once he starts to get past those setbacks.
