context_page_description: Kamdyn McIntosh is a professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League. He became a premiership player with the club in 2017. McIntosh plays as a winger and half-back.
context_section_description: After being left out of the first, McIntosh started his 2019 season with an appearance in the club's second and final pre-season match before recording 13 disposals and kicking a goal in round 1's season-opening match against Carlton. He earned one vote in the Coaches Association player of the year award for that performance, one of just six players on the ground to receive votes. In round 4 win over Port Adelaide, McIntosh attracted a $1,000 fine for misconduct after laying a dangerous tackle on opposition midfielder Ollie Wines. The next week he returned to Richmond's best, one of five Tigers to receive coaches award votes in the win over Sydney in which he recorded 14 disposals and six tackles. McIntosh repeated the feat in round 8, earning two more coaches votes while kicking one goal in a win against Fremantle in his home state. Though the first 13 rounds of the season, McIntosh was one of just four Richmond players to play in all matches that year. Despite that run, McIntosh would be dropped down to reserves level following a 12 disposal performance against the Giants in round 17. He would remain at the lower level through the beginning of the VFL finals series, building versatility by trialing as a defender in an ultimately failed attempt to break back into the senior side in the final month of the season. McIntosh played both as a defender and in his usual wing role for the Richmond reserves' first VFL finals match, recording eight disposals in a come-from-behind qualifying final win over the Essendon reserves. In the VFL preliminary final a fortnight later he posted 15 disposals as Richmond's reserves defeated Port Melbourne and won through to that league's grand final. When Jack Graham and Nathan Broad suffered a shoulder dislocation and concussion respectively in the AFL preliminary final the next week, McIntosh was considered a possible replacement for either should they prove unable to play in the upcoming AFL grand final. As a result, he was held out from playing in the club's victorious VFL grand final two days later. Broad was ruled fit to play, while Marlion Pickett was called in to replace Graham, leaving McIntosh overlooked for a call up to what would be an AFL premiership winning side. He was instead named an emergency, ultimately becoming one of just six players on the Richmond list to play in neither the AFL nor VFL premiership winning sides that season. McIntosh finished 2019 by placing 15th in the club's best and fairest count after played 16 matches at AFL level as well as five with the club's reserves side in the VFL. Despite off-season media speculation that he could seek a trade away from Richmond due to his failure to play finals football, McIntosh remained with the club through the trade period and into the 2020 pre-season without any trade being seriously explored.
