And while reluctant to buy into talk the Roar were the best outfit seen in the six seasons of the A-League, Postecoglou believed his side's performance would be remembered for years to come.

"I think people will look at this team and say it's a pretty extraordinary side.
"But I think to truly emphasise it even further we need to win the grand final as well to emphasise how special a season it's been."
Mariners coach Graham Arnold said Brisbane had singlehandedly improved the standard of the league with their performances, forcing other sides lto ift their game to remain competitive.
Gold Coast coach Miron Bleiberg summed up his admiration for Roar by revealing he felt powerless in watching his side fall 4-0 to them in its final regular-season match on Saturday.
