Prior to McIntosh having his knee problems think he was better than Glass, however McIntosh was never quite the same player after his knees started playing up. Hard to separate McIntosh & Glass but McIntosh at his best was pure class.

 

[Bob Fossil]

Shep.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Huge fan of both. Glass the better leader, McIntosh more versatile. McIntosh played on some of the all time great full-forwards, Glass held the club together after 2007.

If I was naming my all-time Eagles side, Glass would get full-back and vice captain (to Woosha), Jakovich CHB, and McIntosh would be third tall with the flexibility to play forward and back depending on the situation.

I recall a prelim at the MCG when MacIntosh was on the mark and God tried to sell the dummy and run round him on the outside - Macintosh just ran him down with pure explosive speed. Added to a sweat victory

 

[The Falcon Strike]

McIntosh over Glass.

Quicker, stronger, taller, more athletic, better mark and better skills.

He regularly took down the game's elite in the golden era of FF

Glass probably had a slightly better read of the play - but that wouldn't put him ahead.

 

[Monocle]

McIntosh by quite some margin.

How people forget so quickly.

Agree with everything bar the height.
Glass is taller...Verified in real life too if I can find my pics with them.

McIntosh is my favourite ever Eagle to date...My first "favourite player"

 

[Adzam]

Glass for me. I Remember Mcintosh but probably too young to fully appreciate

 

[mattyc75]

we have been blessed with some awesome defenders haven't we
McIntosh for me ,he played in a golden era of star full forwards and more than held his own

 

[avishka5]

Glass handsdown. Seems to be mentioned along with sos and scarlett.

Just noticed ash is only 192 - I've always thought he was 195

 

[Marlin01]

McIntosh the better footballer, Glass the better fullback.

Glass handsdown ........"handsdown".........really

I am curious , how much of McIntosh did you watch live ?

And please elaborate, if you would, what do you base the handsdown comment on ?
I .......and I am sure others posters would appreciate you assessment as to why you rate Glass ahead of McIntosh.

Glass was a very good fullback but as others have already said he never had to play on the quality of FF's that McIntosh regularly played on and happened to beat by the way .

To be fair he did retire 12 years ago...

 

[FatPizza]

I've got a game on DVD from 1993 against Geelong at Kardinya Park where Sumich went off Injured(again) and we threw McIntosh forward, he won us the game.

 

[Mr Commissioner]

Capable of a subtle hold was McIntosh.
