It gives me great pleasure to announce that Jake Monk is the Round 5 AFL Rising Star Nominee.
This is a great achievement for Jake and testament to his determination and commitment to club and code.
Congratulations Jake, I am sure we will see more great things from you before the end of the season, well done from your North Shore Family.

Following is article that appears on the Sydney AFL website -
Jake played his first Premier Division game for the season in Round 5 and by the end of the day he had been named best on ground and kicked 4 goals.
Jake is one of North Shores Under 18 captains and last season won the clubs best and fairest in the U18's. Jake had an injury interrupted preseason this year so the club is just starting to see him reach match fitness levels.
Coach Jon Hayres commented that "Jake’s is a quick learner and his performance reflects his work ethic. Every night before and after training you will see Jake doing extra’s”. Hayres said “Jake’s great strength is his exceptional leg speed and we saw how he used that on the weekend to execute a number of effective tackles“.
Congratulations Jake!
