Player Watch #33: Kamdyn McIntosh - Delisted

[This Is Anfield]

Does all the hard, unselfish running to close space when the oppo is trying to transition, very important and unrewarded by "stats".

 

[Wacky Tiger]

I'm a big fan of KMac.

See ball. Get ball.

Hes hard as a cats head too. Plays his role. ****s it up sometimes but cant question his effort

 

[DontArgue4]

Had an excellent chase down the wing where he caught Walsh, dodged a few shephard attempts too

 

[juss]

I thought he did some good things last night and always works hard. That's what you want from your foot soldiers.

Knock opponent over.

You mean smashed straight through them. That’s a big strength of his, really powerful runner that can’t be moved offline

 

[parmy2balmey]

love this nong but he could fumble honey

 

[Grockadoc]

Not sure why people don't like him. He is one of our best pressure players. One of our best defensive runners and is hard at it, tackles with intent, hunts the ball. Prone to the odd mistake but he is such a competitive beast.

 

[Achilles Heel]

Premiership player , nothing more needs to be said

He's a good finals player, too. One of our best in the losses to Norf and Collingwood, great in the early heat of all of our 2017 finals, and kicked 3 in the quallie against the Hawks. A bloke you'd trust in the trenches.

Is a constant whipping boy on here before each year he is always the one that will make way in a lot of people's best 22 but the coaches selected him over Ellis and Markov for a reason runs hard both ways, will hardly ever loose a 1vs 1 he is hard at it and also a great character

 

[parmy2balmey]

the boy out of pinjarra w.a.

 

[_Wang_]

He is a beast , does all the small things well

That is his best attribute... also took a mark (over a smaller player).

 

[THE_GUN]

Macca was good and Hard on thursday night, Held some good marks on the run and punished the opposition with good kicks (not his best asset)

Really won alot of 50/50 situations

 

[Marcel Proust]

Grigg should watch this guy and take notes

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Could he be a defender? Has height. Doesn't lose his feet/contests. Solid hands.
Foot skills let him down on the fast break down the wing (with the odd exception of a pinpoint 90 degree outside banana) but could be trained to play within himself ala Rance/Astbury in that regard. Just a thought.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Got a feeling that K-mac is going to be an important player for us against the wobbles if he can continue that hot R1 form...unstoppable...

 

[Tenacious T]

Love watching him .
Reminds me of when I throw a ball for my dog (Dusty, of course) to chase and he just runs absolutely flat-out, head down, arse up, eyes only on the ball.

Came onto this thread to post that - definitely will be one of the options considered. He played as a defender for extended parts not long ago - admittedly didnt look great isolated on occassions, but think he has the height, strength and run to be seriously considered there

 

[parmy2balmey]

definitely an option down back as a medium defender, especially this week

 

[Martin#4]

Underrated player.

An absolute bulldozer and gut running machine. His positives far outweigh the occasional scrappy disposal. Reminds me of Shane Tuck in size and attack on the pill.

I suaully sit behind the goals and the amount of instances I’ve seen where we turn the ball over on half forward and the opposition tries the quick switch to come down the other wing and he busts his gut to get across the ground and cut down the angle. What would usually be a stroll into attacking 50 for the opposition, usually results in them having to make one extra pass they otherwise usually wouldn’t which is usually enough time for our defence to get set and halve the contest.

Doesn’t get a stat, but is crucial in saving goals on quick turnovers.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Very good player has gotten better.

Loved the outside of the boot kick, showed class I didn't think he had. Nice that some of the guy are stepping up their play this year.

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

He's always had the class... just not the confidence to use it.
The problem is not to go overboard with the finesse stuff. Cause once confidence is lost its bloody hard to get back
Looks a real player when up and about like this

 

[THE_GUN]

Kamdyn will never be the Star of a team or the player that will get the 3 votes but when you think Kamdyn McIntosh you think Soldier , Worker , Team first player.

Kamdyn covers a space thats 40 x 30 mtrs space and covers it well and pretty much inhibits the opposition from using this space at will
