Kamdyn McIntosh

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Gee I liked Kamdyn's game today. If he stays injury free he could be a good chance to make it. Rebounded well and did a few nice things.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

Really like his run and carry. With his size he could be a great weapon on a wing. A smokey for round 1, but will need to back it up with a really good game next week.

He and Elton been 2 of the big positives of the pre-season so far. Elton more so granted but at the end of last season you would have been a bit concerned with their futures at the club. From what we have seen so far both look to have returned much improved players.

 

[Infamy]

With his size, he reminds me of Embley a little bit
Hopefully will be more consistent than he was, but at his best Embley was elite

 

[TheDarkKnighta]

I had to do a double-take a couple of times today. Really looked good streaming through the middle of the Lavi sports ground there.
Could be a weapon from half back with his size.
He's young. There's still a lot of time for him as far as I'm concerned.

If he's half as good as Embley, I would be pretty happy, Embley won the Norm Smith in 2006 IIRC.

 

[Bojangles17]

Couple of very nice passages with a dash through middle of the ground, would have been stone cold boner stuff had he have bought down that hanger in last Q , plenty of time for that though,

 

[JR82]

good signs, does well again next week & team selection has a nice headache for Rd 1

With improvement of our 2 to 3 year players, it will be a stiff comp for end of year delistings, that perhaps we were banking on. It may end up like we shift players to the rookie list ala Arnot.

Didnt someone say they wanted him to play an Andrew Mackie type role? Long defender who can then get on his bike and go like he did today

 

[Nostradumbass]

McIntosh was born in Pinjarra, Western Australia, and he is the third of nine children.

I think that was lennon.

Careful what you say. Tiger71 might get excited

Or his wife might.

Or his wife might.

Would be a nice change from the usual

 

[Tiger71]

FFS my wife, mum, what else, a 4 year old disabled child ? my god man, do you know no boundary's?!

You're married to a 4yo disabled child? Isn't their laws against that?

 

[GoTigers2015]

Will be great to see how he goes against a better team. I reckon Dimma will pick him against North next week and rest some of the others who have played 2 games.

Related to the Lone Ranger ? Wonder who will be his Tonto ?...

Not a chance for round 1 Jonesy. Club will be on him big time that the effort showed yesterday will need to be replicated every week for him to even have a sniff. Standard has been set - nothing below that will now be accepted.

 

[THE_GUN]

Been played in defence & outside in his time at punt rd, Needs to be played more in the midfield - Reall need that big bodied mid that can burst out of packs with the ball and drift down foward to create a headache for the opposition

Will be an interesting year for Kamdyn , Been really unlucky with injuries in his time with us

I think and i Don't know if it's just us Richmond supporters or everyone but it seems we tend to write off our recruits way before they have had a chance to develop into players, some players can start playing at a young age like Vlaustin but other need time to mature like (for some reason i can only think of tuck), but the truth is it's a mans sport and a mans body hasn't finished growing till about 22 years in some cases and in some cases in AFL this is when a player really starts to look good at AFL level.

I agree and I imagine its a symptom of our last 10 years where our recruits get blooded so quickly out of necessity. They aren't used to seeing a player develop in the 2s for a while so they think they are on their last chance.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

McIntosh was one of our worst in the VFL last year, his transformation out of nowhere is pretty stunning.

good comment, thought he had alot of the martin pykes about him too, rugged, strong bullocking type who aint afraid to grab the pill and go for a run. coupla costly fumbles tho went against him otherwise an excellent debut.
