Hartung nominated for AFL Rising Star

Billy Hartung is round seven's nomination for the AFL Rising Star award.

illy Hartung has earned an AFL Rising Star nomination for his starring role in Hawthorn's 105-point win over Melbourne.

The 20-year-old tallied 26 possessions against the Demons last Saturday, but impressed just as much with his dash on the wing.

"Our depth is a great feature of our club and it is pleasing to see our younger players, including Billy, taking their opportunities at a senior level," Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson said.

Hartung was taken with pick No.24 in the 2013 draft.
