He wasn't on the 'permission to train list' from memory, but then again, I'm not sure how often this is updated by the AFL or if you can simply add players given clearance on a daily basis.

Regardless, I don't think we need him.

Ha! When i first Joined Demonland Kane Tenace was the "Buzz" Player we had to have....Now he can't even be collected from the nature strip as hard rrubbish!!

Who would want the Recruiters Jobs-Bloody Nightmare isn't it.....I Pray that BP & Tim Harrington & co get it "mostly" right on the 26th....

Can't kick can't get it enough.

Gets it enough sometimes but then again, anyone with the merest modicum of ability is going to get his hands on the footy going around with those Geelong blokes. Doesn't do enough with his kicks which lack precision and depth and I really think he would flounder and possibly end up a major league list clogger with us.

Is it too optimistic to hope that if Tenace is training with the Demons it is as a some kind of cautionary tale?

- High draft pick doesn't not equal guaranteed success.

- Failure to improve skills does equal delisting.

I have seen much worse than Tenace play at AFL level. He is alright, but I really cannot see him addressing a need for the MFC. He has less of an upside than Simon Buckley who was let go, signing Tenace would make no sense.

How does he have less upside than Simon Buckley?

In my mind they might as well be the same player; though I admit I've seen a lot less of Tenace than Buckley.

If I ever see another post with the word 'thoughts?' as the first, last or the only word in your case...

"I'll rip your bloody arms off!"

(With apologies to Auntie Jack).

Maxi Bob. Thankyou for your contribution to the thread and your 'thoughts'...

.....on Kane Tenace.

Tenace is quick. Scully is quicker. That's my contribution. ;)

Very similar.

Quick, flaky disposal and decision making skills with questionable defensive capability.

The other issue with Buckley is any linger groin problems (The fact that he has been pictured in a NM training guernsey) does not mitigate that issue.

thoughts?

That your mail has proven to be very reliable - perhaps Demonland deegirl?

A fringe player in a champion team is not necessarily a dud and it's facile to assert that. He's potentially a pretty good player, but it's very hard to break into that midfield. He's excctly the right age and he has pace, which when I look at our 2010 best 22 even with Brock gone and Ball not arriving, is a problem.

Look at Farren Ray, he made a significant contribution at St.Kilda. I think Tenace could add value.

In the long run the problem is that we're aiming to be the next Geelong so that would see him at the fringes and Ray failed in the GF. But there's the possibility that he becomes a more effective player in his late 20s.

I'm definitely interested.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
