Kamdyn McIntosh

Not sold on him yet but did improve on the previous year despite being played in the wrong position imo. Needs to play on the wing. Tall, strong gut runners are hard to find.
 
Agree, on the wing optimises his attacking instincts. Remember some of his tough, hard running goals. He can play back but his kicking isn't quite sharp enough to avoid costly turnovers. When a kick deep into the FL goes astray it's more recoverable, or just a behind.

I would like to see Kamdyn playing as a tall rebound defender coming off half back. Given his height & run can play a versatile role
yep agree with that, he links up really well with jack, i reckon they have a couple of set plays worked out

ahh Leon, this is the strength i am hoping we capitalise on. He can kick it through the line unlike all/most of our other back flankers or wings. He takes on the tackler, beats them often, takes a run and rarely kicks to the dodgy dink player looking to link up. He will attack a target one handball and a kick from a score. This is where our forwards need to be set up to not the 60 to 70 meters out. Here is our next gen style. It gives our best forward a chance to be 50 50. Cant ask for a better ratio today i reckon.

This. Kicking weakness is depth control directionally it's ok.
 
As mentioned by someone else. I would also try him at fullback at some stage against one of the full forwards that doesn't mark too well above there head. He would scrap hard, get the ball to ground and then run off. Just needs to spend time back there learning to read the flight of the ball better.

A good match up would be someone like Vickery. ;)
 
Took a look at a training video, and said to tigersnake, who is down on the farm enjoying a few rums in paradise,

"Whose the big bastard whose built like josh kennedy?" and tigersnake goes
"Is it Kmac?"

I took a little pull on my rum and go

"Its *smile*ing Kmac"

This veiwpoint was underpinned on the tiger training report on afl.etc

where a bloke asks another bloke

"so whose flying at tigerland?" and the other bloke answered in less time than it take christopher pyne to sh!t out his mouth after his morning coffee

"Kamdyn Mcintosh"

So me and snake are calling it, albeit after a moderate version of a farm rum rebellion,

Kmac is gonna shake more than 1 arm out of its socket in 2017. in the guts

Kmac
 
My tip for the most improved. Was heading that way last season until he was injured. Now matured in mind and body. A better Dan Jackson.
 
I reckon he will leysy.

in the guts. him and richmonds greatest love machine tag teaming kind of off the HBF is my tip.

This sounds the goodest idea this year. Bit like tucky in regards to his style, except bigger. Play him here, he runs all day, loves a bit of a man'o'to'mano contest and can kick it a mile. He will hit the hot spot 20 meters out dead infront eveytime and lay a sheppard or 3 just for fun.

Geez, that's harsh Elmer.
Don't mind the KMac, hope his career develops a lot further than Chooka's.
I hope it does too but am not confident.

Doubt he will, but needs to be developed in the middle.
Don't undersell him Leysy. Not a star but a crucial cog to our midfield rotations. Can run all day and knows where the goals are.
