Tigers part ways with two-time AFL premiership winger
McIntosh has played every game this season, and Saturday's clash with Geelong at the MCG will take his career tally to 212 matches.
The No.31 pick from the 2012 national draft has been a picture of consistency right to the end, but he hasn't been offered a new deal for 2026 by the rebuilding Tigers.
At 31 years of age, McIntosh could explore his options elsewhere, with the word "retirement'' not featuring in his farewell to Richmond.

McIntosh has played more than 20 games in six of the past nine seasons, never dipping below 16 games in that period.
The veteran, who hails from WA, was part of the Richmond outfit that won the flag in 2017 to end the club's 37-year premiership drought.
He was an emergency for their 2019 grand final triumph over GWS, but was back in the team for their 2020 premiership win.
"I have had some incredible highs and some real lows during my time here," McIntosh said in a statement.
"The 2017 grand final, it is on par with one of the greatest achievements of my life.
"To see what it meant to all the fans, my family, my friends and to know that all the hard work that the playing group had put in had gotten us there.
"To get the ultimate success, you have to work incredibly hard, no doubt about it.
"Richmond has changed my life. I have grown up here. This club has become a family to me. (It) gave me a home away from home."
McIntosh has averaged 14.5 disposals per game to go with eight goals this season, with the Tigers (5-17) currently second last on the table.

Cadillac counts down to its F1 debut with lessons from NASA and the 'inverse Ted Lasso'
The clock is ticking until Cadillac joins the Formula 1 grid. Literally. 'On the wall of every office that we have is a countdown clock,' team principal Graeme Lowdon told The Associated Press in a recent interview. 'It's counting down to two things.' One is the first 'fire-up' of the car with its engine, and then the other is free practice at Cadillac's first official F1 session in Melbourne, Australia in March next year. It will be the start of a new mission for General Motors, and the end of a process to join F1 which included years of negotiations, a change of name and leadership, even a U.S. Justice Department investigation. Ted Lasso in F1 As a British racing boss creating an American team, Lowdon feels like an 'inverse Ted Lasso,' the fictional U.S. soccer coach in London. Hired in part for his experience navigating the sport's complex process for approving new teams, Lowdon says he's worked hard to adapt to U.S. racing culture for a team which will build its cars out of Fishers, Indiana. There's also a design and manufacturing site near the British Grand Prix track at Silverstone, but Cadillac has a vision of running an 'American team,' Lowdon said. The idea is to get as many different perspectives on designing a race car as possible. 'Formula 1 is a very creative business,' Lowdon said. "With diversity of thought comes innovation and hopefully lap time." Lessons from NASA Past attempts to operate an F1 team outside of the sport's heartlands in England and Italy have rarely worked. Cadillac is taking lessons from the 1960s space race. Rather than read a list of racing failures, Lowdon looked for non-F1 projects with 'immovable deadlines, huge amount of public scrutiny, multiple sites, highly technical," he said. 'The best example I could find were the the Apollo missions.' 'I looked a lot into how NASA had done the management structure of the business. I thought there were some very clever things that they did that we could build into a new design of a Formula 1 team, a complete new way of managing it. The primary objective was to maximize peer-to-peer communication between engineers.' F1's other American team, Haas, is more reliant on Europe. Its HQ is in North Carolina but the team is largely based in Britain and designs its cars in Italy. Drivers on the short list While existing teams have their race drivers heavily involved in the design of 2026 cars, Lowdon said the fact that Cadillac hasn't confirmed who its drivers will be shouldn't be seen as a setback. There are 'three or four' names on Cadillac's shortlist halfway through the 2025 season and Lowdon says Cadillac has more leverage in contract discussions than usual. 'Because we're out of sync with the other teams, we're not under the same time pressure,' Lowdon said. 'No driver is sitting there saying, 'Oh yeah, Aston Martin are going to sign me next week,' if you don't sign them.' The new team could be a way back to F1 for drivers like Sergio Perez, Valtteri Bottas or Zhou Guanyu who lost their race seats for 2025. There's also been speculation about various Americans and ex-F1 drivers like Mick Schumacher. Bottas, a 10-time race winner for Mercedes, joked about the race to sign for Cadillac with a viral video on social media remarking on the 'nice seat' in a Cadillac SUV. 'I've known him for a long time. I know his sense of humor, I appreciate his sense of humor and he's got a big fan following,' Lowdon said. 'My phone got super busy almost immediately when (Cadillac's F1 entry) was confirmed. It was very clear that everyone wants to drive a Cadillac and so I guess Valtteri has just made it even more clear.' ___ AP auto racing:

AFL grants Crows' request on Izak Rankine as coach makes revelation about Collingwood player
The AFL has granted the Adelaide Crows' request for additional time to respond to the league's proposed suspension for Izak Rankine for an alleged homophobic slur directed towards a Collingwood player. And Magpies coach Craig McRae has revealed the Collingwood player involved is doing okay. Rankine and the Crows remain in discussions with the AFL over his pending ban, with the league reportedly pushing for a five-week suspension. As revealed by Eddie McGuire on Channel 9 on Tuesday night, Rankine would be facing a five-match suspension that would mean his season is over regardless of how far the Crows go in the finals. A decision was expected to be announced on Wednesday, but talks between the AFL and Crows will now stretch into a fifth day. The 25-year-old has admitted to making a homophobic slur towards a Collingwood opponent during Adelaide's three-point win last Saturday night. Rankine apologised to the unnamed Magpies player on Sunday, and the AFL's integrity unit subsequently launched an investigation. On Wednesday night, it was revealed the AFL has granted the Crows more time to respond to the proposed five-game ban. Collingwood and Adelaide coaches speak Speaking to reporters on Wednesday in his weekly media conference, Collingwood coach Craig McRae said he'd spoken to the Pies player involved. "We had a good chat over the weekend and then again Monday morning just to check in, it's about making sure our players are safe," he said. "But I don't want to demonise Izak either. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes, and the young lad seems like a really respectful young man and he's made an error. The AFL will take their own course on that, but you're allowed to make mistakes too." The Crows have one game remaining in the regular season, before a maximum of four in the finals if they win the premiership. The club has been bracing for a ban of between three and five games, but has been in discussions with the AFL over the circumstances that led to Rankine making the slur. Rankine didn't train with his teammates on Wednesday afternoon, and Adelaide postponed a scheduled media conference with coach Matthew Nicks until Friday. When approached by reporters at training, Nicks said Rankine is "doing all right" with support from the club. Nicks admitted the intense spotlight had been a distraction for the Crows ahead of their clash with North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on Saturday. "But no, we're locked in on what we're doing this weekend," Nicks said. "We just put support around Izak because it is a tough thing to go through, and he knows it's going to be tough from here. But we'll work our way through it." RELATED: Wanganeen-Milera could be forced to take pay-cut as Hird floats theory Family dilemma as Geelong premiership hero on cusp of changing clubs AFL's previous bans for homophobic slurs Rankine is set to become the sixth AFL-listed player suspended for making a homophobic remark since April last year. Last month, West Coast player Jack Graham was banned for four games for making a homophobic remark towards a GWS player. Last year, Port Adelaide's Jeremy Finlayson was banned for three games, and Wil Powell of the Gold Coast was suspended for five matches - both for directing homophobic slurs at opponents. Two VFL players have also recently been banned for homophobic slurs, while Sydney defender Riak Andrew was was suspended for five matches last month for an anti-gay slur while playing for the Swans' reserves team against North Melbourne. And in July last year, St Kilda player Lance Collard was banned six games for homophobic comments while playing in the VFL for Sandringham against Williamstown. with AAP

Andy Murray's life now as former tennis star confirms new addition after heartbreak
It's been just over a year since Andy Murray bid farewell to his tennis career. The former British number one retired last summer, leaving behind an illustrious legacy as one of the greatest players of his generation, boasting 46 titles, including two wins at Wimbledon and one US Open, not to mention three Olympic medals. However, retirement hasn't seen him slowing down, with several exciting new projects and major announcements since he hung up his racket. READ MORE: 'I lived with Prince Harry for years - his claim about Camilla doesn't add up' READ MORE: Amanda Holden updates fans on lavish getaway with Alesha Dixon after her 'split' Among these new ventures was a surprising collaboration with long-time adversary Novak Djokovic, serving as the Serbian star's coach for the Australian Open. This unexpected partnership took the tennis world by storm last year. Despite reaching the semi-finals in Australia together, their shock alliance concluded after just six months. Murray has since been associated with potential coaching roles for British talents such as Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper. However, for now, his focus has shifted away from tennis, embracing new roles outside the sport, reports Wales Online. In May, it was announced that the 38 year old had embarked on a new venture as a capitalist and had become an associate partner at Redrice Ventures in London, a firm he previously collaborated with for a co-investment in sports wear company Castore in 2018. In the role, Murray leads a team of athlete advisors - the Redrice Sports Collective - to help identify investment opportunities, particularly within the sports industry. The former tennis star's growing investment portfolio already includes the luxury five-star Cromlix Hotel that he purchased with his wife Kim in 2013 for a reported sum of £1.8 million, whilst he has also invested in Game4Padel, the UK's largest operator of padel courts. Last month, it emerged that Murray had secured another significant business deal, partnering with Scottish potato company Albert Bartlett - a long-standing supplier to Cromlix - to promote their products. "I was lucky during my early playing days to have access to the kit and facilities required to play and develop, and as my career progressed, to have the best diet and training advice available," said the two-time Wimbledon champion as the deal was announced. "I am excited to partner with Albert Bartlett to showcase the importance of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle to communities across the UK. I hope the project inspires people to play and enjoy sport throughout their lives, at whatever level they are able." Naturally, retirement hasn't been solely about discovering new work for Murray, with the Scottish star also able to dedicate more time to his family, as well as his passion for golf. The pair, who tied the knot in 2015 after first crossing paths at the US Open a decade before, are now doting parents to four youngsters - Sophie, Edie, Teddy and Lola. But their household has just welcomed another member, with Murray taking to Instagram to reveal they'd recently brought home a new four-legged friend. Posting a snap of himself beaming alongside the flat-coated retriever, the sporting icon simply captioned it: "New addition to the family". The announcement follows Murray's heartbreaking revelation last year that the family's cherished border terrier Rusty had passed away, prompting him to share a touching tribute to the "loyal and protective" pooch on social media.
