Kmac's disposal is fine. Off a wing last year he was one of our best spotting up players inside 50 by foot. His size on a wing was awesome too. He's not a rebounding defender.

If McIntosh is to be of greater value to the Tigers then I see him playing a more attacking role.

Anyone remember the time he beat Judd 1 on 1 on the wing against Carlscum? KMac is a wing HF not a backman
As for playing a more attacking role not if Dimmer can help it
 
Well I hope he is using his time wisely building up his upper body strength. An inside player with size who can get the ball, and tackle would be a great start.

Pretty sure Dimma had no choice but to try KMac, BEllis, CEllis, Mendoo, George n even Lennon down back early this year.

Concs had been training the role over pre season, injured.
Yazzy who we traded in to take a role back there a no show.
Batchelor, no form.
Chappy no form, cooked.
Grub injured.
Vlossy, form, reported, injury niggles.
*smile*, form, slow n off the pace seasons start.
Bachar injury.
Things were an absolute nightmare down the back end for most of the first half of the season, most of the seasoned regular defenders had issues n we were just rotating anyone, we could, mostly kids, down back to try n fill the holes.
Wasn't a coaching issue, it was a train wreck.

Mentioning such injuries & no form on the board highlights Dimma's shortcomings as a coach. Tigers should have been ready to roar round one not round ten.

Agree Barnzy. He needs to slot back into a wing.

Like TM said he played there this year out of necessity.
 
I liked his interview with Richo. I was happy to hear that he wants to work on being a midfielder and being harder to tackle with extra strength work. And the kicking on his left might be good in the long run, as it should make him a more balanced runner.

I'm looking for a breakthrough year as a mid.

Hope he can develop into the big aggressive inside midfielder we are looking for

The first time I saw Kmac play he immediately reminded me of Chris Judd
 
I'm still iffy on whether he'll make it. Disposal is my biggest issue. Other than that he has all the attributes to be a really strong player.

Iffy?? He can't kick. The worse bubble kicks since Campbell
West coast don't let good WA kids out of WA
 
As I have said for a couple of years now I would like to see him developed as an inside mid because his outside kicking is just not good enough for that run and carry role.
We are desperate for a big-bodied mid and is explosive pace could be a wild card in that role.
They tried him at HBF for a few games and his marking was OK but again his kicking can not be trusted.
Another option to consider is instead of playing 3 talls in the fwd line play a Griff, Riewoldt and a guy like K-Mac as a third tall (Goldsack style). He can hold his own in the air but run and pressure gets a massive boost from the 3rd tall position. Not sure if his set kicking for goal is better than his field kicking but would be interesting to see if he can create an interesting mismatch in a slightly shorter fwd line.

Pretty sure he kicks for goal better on the run than set shots.

Wouldn't mind seeing KMac n Flossy both doing a lot more midfield work n sneaking forward at times.
If, yes a big if, we get a Yazzy with his head right playing off half back along with the likes of CEllis, St Oleg n Shorty. With the likes of Mendoo, Houli, BEllis around the wings outside mid, then I reckon we could easily use KMac n Flossy as big bodied inside mids to support and take some heat off Cotch, Dusty, Snipper, Grigga, Shed, Lambert etc.
