The son of John McIntosh, who played for Claremont and St Kilda, McIntosh represented West Coast in 242 games between 1991 and 2003, playing in the club's 1992 and 1994 premierships, and was named in the All-Australian team in 1998.
He also represented Scotch College in athletics, winning the state hurdles events over 200m and 400m.
Wayne Carey, on Talking Footy, once credited him as the strongest opponent he'd ever played against, which surprised a lot of people, including the show's host Bruce McAvaney.
Fittingly, his final game was played against the Adelaide Crows, who Carey had signed with prior to the 2003 season.
In what would be McIntosh's final possession, he shanked a kick out of bound on the full after being laid out by Carey.
