1) Adelaide were indeed unlucky not to hold on to their lead against a very good team in GCU… Adelaide are a far better team then their position suggests… I rate them better then Perth Glory, and CCM at this stage with some good talent in their squad Leckie and Fabian Barbiero … they should be higher up the table then they are from what I saw of them on Saturday night…

2) The Fury the sentimental favourite to have them scrape into final contentions with Robbie Fowler leading the charge but is looking tired and a bit despondent with his team’s appalling defence—with so many lost point through bad defending… But Dyron Daal finally starting and producing at the pointed end to take some of the pressure off the front men.. good to see.

3) CCM started the season on fire that even drew praise from their most critical of all detractors Craig Foster, but he was proven right again in the end that they play a third rate brand of British football with no creativity at all… If any team could do with a Bling Marquee type of player its this team… They have become the HAL’s yawn team…

4) Brisbane Roar the enigma of the lot of this bunch and should have been on fire at this stage of the season but for internal strife and Farina being sacked in the most peculiar of all circumstances with a second drink driving infringement was bizarre… Up to that point I thought they were starting to show some promise but with Ange coming in and laying down the law has changed the dynamics of the club… It could go either way… Ange could be Hero or Villain by the time the finals are sorted out…

4) Perth Glory also struggle to impress with a team that is totally devoid of any real flare with a bunch of tradesmen like performers the most boring of all teams to watch so far this season.
