Should have cut him in the off season, need to do so in January and get someone else in.

Hes looked really fit during the off season, evidentally a few guys pulled up sore after the friendly against Victory.

AP will have to lead the line against a very very good defence.

 

[hey shorty]

4 first team players out, 1 for Sydney.

SloaneysDanger Runnin Blue Halloran as a no9?

SloaneysDanger Runnin Blue Halloran as a no9?

He seems to be a fish out of water in that position at the moment. Making early and late runs.

Not his fault though as he’s not used to it.

I’d be bringing on Ilso at the start of the second half.

 

[FAITH]

Great goal from Gallo.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Redmayne is a goose, good spot by Galloway!

He's not a 9. Never has been, never will be. Dunno why Ilso isn't starting.

Great goal but we still don’t have any real fire power up front.

We don’t have tht 15 to 20 goal forward who will get a clutch goal.

I love Goodwin but he isn’t that man

We haven't had a good striker since van Dijk. Or one who can actually stay on the pitch.

Bruce Djite was ok. He was either really good or really bad. Zero middle ground.

He was never clinical though, van Dijk was.

 

[FAITH]

Baba is meant to be that striker but can't stay fit.

Quality strikers cost big money and we aren't willing to spend it seems.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Yeah ****ing typical Adelaide. Give them nothing all game and then concede. Rubbish.

 

[FAITH]

Not a bad result given the outs.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I see the can't touch Ninkovic rule is still in force

When your 3 strikers in the squad are either injured or away on national team duties you gotta improvise, hence playing Halloran up top.

Thought we did ok last night and if not for some poor defensive positioning from Elsey would have won the game.

We pressed them very well, but we played as if we had that striker up there. Some of the crossing was brilliant and taylor made for the big guys who weren't there.

Marrone still can’t deliver a decent ball to save his life

Hopefully Galloway can sure up left back which will allow Strain to take over from him at right back.

Galloway looked to be limping after the game though.

Strain is too good further forward though. We need to work out what we see his long term spot and keep him there.

The crossing is the one thing that's always let Mick down, the rest of his game is solid as.

Massive crowd in melbourne

And already another season that will be ruined by VAR.

Talk bolt is asking for $3m but CCM offering $150k.

Talk bolt is asking for $3m but CCM offering $150k.

He isn't even worth the 150K

 

[hey shorty]

If he had any humility he would take the 150K, it's about 10 times his worth as a footballer.

Sadly he wont and some other idiotic club will give in to his demands.
