Kane Tenace has already been likened to West Coast star Chris Judd and even compared to the original ?Geelong flyer? Bob Davis, and now he is officially an AFL rising star.
Tenace won the round six nomination for the AFL?s prestigious Rising Star award after his 15-possession effort in the Cat?s emphatic 43-point win over the Crows on Sunday.
Blessed with exceptional pace, Tenace even out-sprinted Adelaide superstar Andrew McLeod at one stage of Sunday?s game ? much to the delight of the Cats? home crowd.
It was Tenace?s first appearance at Skilled Stadium and his fifth in total for the Cats, after debuting in round two this season.
The 18-year-old has already averaged over 12 possessions per game this year in his first AFL season ? after he was only drafted by the Cats last November, at pick seven.
Tenace debuted for the Cats in round two and joined an exclusive player group when he kicked a goal with his first kick in league football.
Drafted from the Shepparton Football Club, Tenace played under age football with the Murray Bushrangers and won their best and fairest last year.
He also represented Vic Country in the 2003 AFL under 18 championships and was named an All-Australian.
