I don't know about this fixation with a target man. We did ok this season mostly without one. Even on our good run towards the end of the season Dadi was mainly used off the bench and Greenacre did a good job. The good form was more a result of getting our midfield combination sorted.
If anything I would really like a striker with ridiculous pace which could help push the opposition defence a little deeper and give us more space in the midfield. And if this striker is a decent hight then that is a bonus.
At present most of our attacks are from the wings, Fox Sports did an analysis after the Jets game and we had something ridiculous like 50+ balls into the box (most of the crossing wasnt that accurate). One of the main benefactors of this has been Brown with runs into the box. If we do get a midfield maestro do they play deeper allowing Brown the freedom to charge into the box looking for chances or do we have a more advanced playmaker? Unless the advanced playmaker is good in the air I would assume it would change our style of play and give us more penetration from central positions, something like Hernandez at Melbourne.
