Bio
A locally born talent and "Original Shinboner" (Shinboner #13), Bill McIntosh holds a permanent place in North Melbourne history as a member of the club's inaugural VFL side. He established himself as a reliable contributor for North in the VFA, playing consistent football across the 1923 and 1924 seasons leading up to the club's promotion. Standing 187cm—a commanding height for the era—McIntosh lined up as a follower for the historic Round 1 clash against Geelong in 1925, where he was named among the best players on ground in North's famous debut victory. Although his VFL career was brief, comprising just six senior appearances in that foundation season, McIntosh remains significant for bridging the gap between the club's VFA roots and its entry into the elite competition.
