I don't think anyone here is arguing he's going to be the next big thing in yellow and black, that's not the point.
IMO if we ever are to become a serious premiership contender/winner, we need guys like K Mac, our 2nd & 3rd rounders, to step up and start playing seriously competitive football at senior level. Have a role and play it well.
That's why people are very happy with McIntosh. A guy who went pick (early 30ish?) who is doing exactly what we need him to do at this stage. Get regular 1's games into the legs, stamp his position across that wing and go from there. Very happy with his progression so far, but hoping for more in the future!
