ST KILDA utility Jarryn Geary has earned the round eight NAB Rising Star nomination for his 19-possession performance in the win over Essendon at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Geary, who has played every game this season for the ladder leaders, has averaged 18 disposals and booted five goals.
St Kilda coach Ross Lyon said Geary is an extremely hard worker and has been a very consistent performer for the club this year.
"With continued hard work and dedication to all aspects of his game, we hope to see Jarryn's already promising development continue," Lyon said.
The 19-year-old, who was recruited from Eaglehawk Football Club with pick 58 in the 2007 rookie draft, made his AFL debut in round one last year and played 10 matches for the season.
Geary is St Kilda's first Rising Star nominee since Sam Gilbert in round 16, 2007.
