JILL, JB, Jeff, Stuv and Mini-Schneider.

Five nicknames camouflage a St Kilda curiosity with five Jacks set to run on to the field against Gold Coast tomorrow.

All of them are emerging stars and in the laid-back Australian manner, none of them go by their first name.

Coach Alan Richardson concedes it can be a nightmare in team meetings but teammate Josh Bruce says it is easy for the players.

“There are certainly a few of them. Jack Steven goes by the nickname Stuv. Him and Jack Newnes are best mates so he is Jill,’’ he said.

“Then Jack Lonie is just Lones or Mini-Schneider because he follows Adam Schneider around like a bad smell.

“Jack Billings is JB and then Jack Sinclair has been called Jeff because there are too many Jacks.”

FULL TEAMS: NO ‘JOEY’ FOR SAINTS

Billings, returning against Gold Coast after a month-long hamstring injury he is desperate to get back after a great pre-season ruined by a late injury.

The Saints take on a Gold Coast side hellbent on an improved performance after a horror show against Melbourne.

Billings said yesterday the Saints will try to replicate Melbourne’s aggressive style against Ablett, with former Sun Mav Weller to play his 50th AFL game on the Gold Coast skipper.

“We spoke about that. Melbourne did it really well and we will be hoping to emulate a similar thing,’’ he said.

“Gold Coast will be looking to come out firing after they lost their first contest and he is a great player and another one looking to bounce back.”

Captain Nick Riewoldt is certain to play after overcoming the effects of whiplash, training well this week.

“Roo has been awesome. He is back training and all the boys are really supportive and are getting around him.

“It is great to have him out there leading us so well. He has been an inspiration for us as teammates and on Sunday the boys really lifted when the skipper went down to make something happen and stand up.”

Billings played 16 games in his debut year after being taken as the 2013 draft’s pick three and believes he is on track to flourish this year.

“I was pretty happy with how things went last season. I was lucky enough to have a pretty good pre-season and just had a little setback with the hammy and am looking to take another step this year.”
