Everybody talks about how bad our list is, and then claim that KMac is not in the best 22/23. I call bollocks. KMac gets games on merit. Yes, he is not as good as he once was, but he fills gaps and still contributes.
Happy to see him re-signed.
Dow on the other hand . . .

My gut feeling is the Dow and Kam signatures are list transition decisions. (With all respect to the players). I would not have contracted them but understand why they were contracted based on our list demographic.
The list demographic tells us that we probably should keep Dow, not that i would, and get rid of McIntosh.
Both do not perform well enough to be retained imo.
The list of mids or lack there of likely played a part in us keeping Prestia as well.
Imo we have McIntosh covered in what ever role it is he plays. His usual role is wing better option abound. Ross, Banks, HRS, Trezise, Smith could play there Campbell can be moved up the ground we could draft a better kid and option than all of them.
Dow is just one of how many mids. Prestia, Taranto, Hopper, McAuliffe and Sonsie.
This can be the only reason why we would keep him list demographics.
The better option would have been to look for a simple upgrade among the dfa's and state leagues for both.

My guess is that Mac was told he’ll be depth and mainly playing VFL unless injuries hit bad again. You hear this story a bit and sometimes injuries or circumstances necessitate playing said veteran and they become part of the best 22.
So much hot air on this thread my phone started to rise out of my hands all by itself.
Geez, it’s not that difficult to understand. If we got rid of all the players not in the top 24 of a ‘top 4 side’ we’d have no one left at this stage of our development after 3 flags in an environment designed to equalise the competition.
We have to field a minimum squad and we only have so many good draft picks and plenty of vacancies.
The last few making up the numbers will always be a line ball between all the types being argued for against the KMac types. In the end, that decision is really not going to make much of a difference (if any at all).
As if the list managers don’t know all this.

Every list is critical on a rebuild. Would much rather use the last list spot on a Riley Bice type who is better at VFL level than McIntosh right now and could become a 5 year player at AFL level.
One thing I do like about the club giving Kmac a bonus year is he stayed loyal throughout our success, he was controversially left out of 2019 , knocked back better offers to go home , unlike Ellis, Butler, Higgins, CJ , Bolton, DRioli, Baker, Graham and could be others who basically all left for better money , KMac stayed on and I kinda like that the clubs rewarded him for his loyalty. I hope like hell Broady got a nice bonus in his latest contract too .
Exactly.
Everyone here bagging players for leaving and lack of loyalty but very quick to dump and discard loyal, hard working players as soon as they’re on the decline
Can’t have it both ways
When someone is using High German in an analogy, you know it must be an opinion of worth.

Good afternoon Brighty. What information do u have that suggests that Leon, Shai or Daniel left for more money?
Guess who had just been listening to Heilung at work :-DWhen someone is using High German in an analogy, you know it must be an opinion of worth.
What long winded nonsense to do nothing other than pot a player for kicks.
Finished 11th in the B&F this year and ninth the year before. In the last three years he's played 22, 22 and 21 games. He has been a valuable contributor, and clearly has a lot to offer. He's not a list clogger, he's a role player.
