On the surface I thought McIntosh was too good to pass up considering Geelong got him for pick 36
McIntosh was initially drafted at 9 and has now developed and is more than ready to go NOW
I thought it might be prudent to pick him up and save pick 13 for a quality young mid or absolute jet
There will always be obvious exceptions like Natinui for example but I've always thought that using a first rounder on a young ruckmen is fraught with danger for generally they take longer to develop into the bodies required for the rigours of AFL football
I was just curious as to the views of the "experts" on here
get on board for 2020

I would suggest you should concentrate on your board challenge and let the recruiters recruit....
McIntosh is 28yo, with multple injury issues, including a LARS procedure on his PCL.......hardly the background or age demographic that would appeal......
He is also a similar type to McEvoy...
Hickey, on the other hand, is 21, has a great tank, athletic and is the prototype of the modern ruckman....in this age of substitutes and capped rotations.....
Hickey Hits Out (to advantage)....doesn't quite have the pizazz of Rix Rox Rux....but I think you know where I'm coming from....
BTW , if you make it onto the Board....please don't meddle in the recruiting.....
