Grown to an impressive 194cm 
Heard that in Rance's video. No wonder it seems they have no idea where to play him. Drafted as a wing and grown 6cm since mid last year. 
we recruited him at 192cm so hes grown a whopping 2cm. mate he played a few games at wafl level on the wing and suddenly hes a wingman. what waffle.he was always a tall defender and spent nearly all of his formative yrs there.
his best position is clearly as a tall defender. if we recruited him on the off chance he could adapt to a mid role we should have went out and drafted a genuine mid instead. we need to play these kids to their real strengths.
mcintosh is a genuinely accountable tall defender who can provide run and carry. there is absolutely no mystery about where to play him its smacking them in the face.
ive had this debate. at times they really look like amateurs. when they come out and say before trade and draft periods that we need genuine mids and then proceed to in the main ignore them has me pull my hair out.
they took a tall defender and on the back of 3 wafl games i think proceeded to justify what they had said by calling him a mid. i still ask why dont we recruit mids when we need em. defenders when we need em rucks when we need em and forwards when we need em rather than constantly hedging our bets.
iirc u had him in your best 22
and i would really like to see him playing off hb in the 22. atm ive picked him on nothing but potential.
im one of few who has regularly said we must give games to some of the younger blokes still.
what i would like to see and what we get dished up is two different things. in the back half i really think this is the way to go.
b/ morris - chaplin - grimes. i really believe grimes must add to his game in several areas. morris also.
hb/ mcintosh/dea - rance - vlastuin. have stuck with dea over the journey i think he has the talent but he needs to transform that talent to afl level.both mcintosh and dea need to play but it would be very optimistic to expect both to play most games. make one of the hbf theirs and develop them alternately.
the back half changes would go.
no newman give mcintosh/dea his role. we had better start getting used to life without him.
no houli play vlastuin in his place. great reader of the play bloody accountable and he uses the ball real well always making the right decisions.
drop the sheep dog grigg and replace him with the better kicking sheepdog in houli on a wing. also move newman forward or make him a part of midfield rotations.
i also firmly believe we should have in our system a GENUINE 195cm 95-100kg kpd whos main strength is being good one v one. in fact we should have had one developing for the last 3 or 4 yrs. NONE OF THIS rubbish DRAFTING FORWARDS AND HOPING TO TURN EM INTO A DEFENDER.
