I think he is a straight ahead player Juffa who's major strength is his ability to run all day. Ideally suited for a wing or half back rather than the forward who has to change direction a lot. Just my viewJuffaricho said:

agree. he keeps he feet one-on-one but i havent seen anything to suggest he can play in close.
i actually like him at HB. he runs and he attacks but he also has some strength and height so, with some more experience, he can match taller half forwards, and help cover opposition tall forwards.
K-Mac is one of the most "interesting" players on our list for me entering 2017.
We have already seen that his power and endurance is AFL elite and combined with his height and marking ability make him an awful matchup for the opposition. However, his field kicking and decision making were below average for an outside mid.
Assuming he gets his fitness back, have those 2 weak areas improved, if so, he is a huge "in" on the wing.
However, he would also potentially become an enormously important back flanker as well as we have several back flank options (Houli, B.Ellis, C. Ellis, Yarran, Short) who are not strong and tough back there rather more outside sweepers.
Furthermore, his goal kicking is good but if his field kicking into 50 improved he could be an option for Deledio's role up forward and essentially be a 3rd tall assuming we only play 2 talls in the fwd line making us more mobile. Remember if we play 3 talls in fwd line + Sam Lloyd we are really slow and arguably one of the worst teams then in defensive pressure up forward. Rioli and Edwards (assuming his fitness is back) won't save that mess.
Finally, if his kicking and decision making hasn't improved, do we then just move him inside into Grigg's role and give Cotch & Prestia a really big physical beast in there (potentially along with Nankervis) as his contested numbers are pretty good but is his handballing in tight good enough?
Really not sure where he goes but if he does get fit and improve his kicking and decision making then he has a skill set and body that has big ripple effects in the area of the ground he plays.

First of all Juffa I love reading your player reviews so keep them coming this off season.
I thought dash Kam showed a bit with his interceptions and spoiling in defence at the start of the season. He showed everything that Batch has showed. I would be trialling him as an inside mid and have him training with mids. If it looks like that is not a viable option. Backline for mine. I have him pegged as a first 18 player.

We said it a couple of years ago when KMac had his breakout season in 2015, but he's the new Tuck.
Needs to play on the wing. No good down back.
Hardwick will persist with him down back however.

reckon quickly roosting the ball forward is coming back into fashion a bit, K-mac is the *smile* at that.
Yep Wing or Inside for me, needs to keep himself on park, he has been injured for 3 of the 4 years he's been on our list??
I'd take an Isac Smith type, however reckon McIntosh is a hell of a lot tougher in the contest then Smith.zgod said:
i reckon his best position for us in HBF. he gives us a 190cm+ running player which is something he otherwise lack. with some work on his defensive ability he can play on the marking HFs.
i doubt his ability to play inside cos he doesnt have clean hands. his is fine in space cos he can keep the ball in front but when in tight his fumbles will be stolen.
