But we don't bring anything to Australian football?
FMA (Australia’s football media) also named Sydney FC as the Club of the Year. The award is given in recognition of a club’s relationship with, and responsiveness to, the football media.
This is the first time Sydney FC has won the award. Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory were equal second.

Burns is staying for next season:
Interviewed aftger the loss yesterday:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/football-soccer/news/art...
Burns is regularly mentioned in transfer gossip but he said he would remain at the club in 2015-2016.
"Obviously I'm contracted so we'll see what happens. I love playing here in front of the croud and I've had a great 12 months so I'm really excited."

'We'll see what happens'
Doesn't exactly seem nailed on, does it?

What's he going to say?... bugger this; I'm off...
Also, it's not solely about what he wants - it's about what offers come in... if someone offers the club a million he's off, if someone offers a fiver and a cold pie, he isn't. Somewhere in between is a point where you negotiate.
He is contracted to us next season, he is our player - unless something changes that (ie: a sufficient offer).

Or that rumor that there is a buyout clause in his contract is true.

Burns is a deserving winner but that is one of the stupidest voting systems. If you vote for the best player after 9, 18 and 27 rounds then players are voting on the first 9 rounds 3 teams. It makes it difficult to make a late run and win the prize.

Perhaps a tweak that they could make would be to give the last 9 rounds double points, based on the fact that they are the most high-pressured games heading into the finals, where you really want your good players to stand out. Even so, Burns would have still won it at a canter.

Why should someone who has played really well for the entire season be beaten by someone who plays a good final few weeks?

I used to follow Adelaide a bit in the early days of A-league in the ACL. He made the Adelaide United 'Team of the Decade'

No, he was one of the best players. Him and Djite carved teams up.
He also scored Adelaide's first hat-trick before scoring our first.

He played for Adelaide from 2006 to 2008 and since then he has been average. Have a look and see what he did between 08 and 14. I'm not disputing his ability, I merely pointed out that Ernie helped him a lot. Just to add that in two seasons at Adelaide he only scored 9 goals.

Oh, no doubt he had a few bad years - but that was mostly due to the team environments that he was in and injury issues it seems. Just making the point that he was already a very good player, especially in the A-League ; Ernie has done well to mould him into more of a striker than a traditional winger though.

Which is precisely why I think Phoenix should look at the sudden available Dugandzic. Maybe not Burns levels, but only 25 now.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

He was very average in the 4/5 years before he came to us. Are you having a bad day or just looking to be obstreperous.
