Melbourne are very scrappy.
Adelaide are way, way scrappier. The last 10-15 mins or so Melb has started passing it around quite well

Too much passing when they get near the box though.

Owusu has been pretty good since he came on, at the risk of Hard News never speaking to me again isn't he the kind of target man that we could do with?

He heads well but not much else - doesn't link up that great or score many goals. Bit like a crappy Heskey I suppose. Brown did a great job on him when he played against us.

Just being big isn't enough. You have to be able to play football as well.

nope a goal scorer and playmaker like Hernandez, a quick forward like Thompson, a strong forward like Leckie, a fast agrressive midfielder like Dodd or someone who can do tap ins like Dugasnich (cos we have struggled with it...) once we've got a few players like that then we can fapp about with targetman.

A guy like Simon we could do with I reckon. That and a midfielder like McGlinchey/Hernandez/Miller is what we're missing. Our wide players are great - just breaks down too often before it gets to them and when it does they usually have no one to aim at.
