Commentators saying "He couldn't miss from there" like they've never watched the Phoenix before.

positives from this game, the young guys look great sign them now!, Ak, lujic and parecki look better, maybe worth keeping them too. Burns has been better but couldn't hit the back of a bus right now.

Was the best game to watch in a while, Burns deserved a goal. His 2nd half was the best he's had with us since back. First half was a bit sharke, but eh.

Thoroughly enjoying supporting this team over the past 2 weeks. They have just played at a different level than what was shown the rest of the season. keep getting better!

This team looks so much better under Greenacre and generally have when he has been in charge.

Rob Morrison should investigate with any feelers if he can get an exemption for Greenacre on the proviso he sits his licence in the next year.

Very entertaining second half. Happier with the result this week, the young lads did fairly well and Burns was outstanding in that second half.

Would like to see what he can do over a whole season, really - if nothing else, he would give the kiwi kids a shot. Not much difference to Aloisi getting a chance at Heart and then Brissy.

How can the VAR say no obvious error for AK pen call, he was blatantly pulled down - Bowles almost took his shirt off. The ref not calling a pen was an error which thr VAR is supposed to fix.

Enjoyed the game - Patterson and Rogerson look the part, particularly Pattrson who showed some nice touches and energy.

Cacace looks class for a 17 year old, big future ahead of him which is exciting - lots of positives from the last two weeks.

The biggest plus was Burns tonight, looked hungry and energetic. 90 minutes of that from the start of the season next year and we will win games!

Happy with that, like everyone I wanted the win but so good to see the team play so well missing so many players.

good luck getting that banker doing anything but counting the money he's losing.

Impressed with the midfield tonight too. Paracki made a lots of interceptions, used it well. Ljujic good. We lost quite a bit when Patterson went off. Parkhouse tried hard, as usual but little impact. AK looked good too. A shame about Sail missing that cross.

Paracki, Llujic, AK and Burns all outstanding tonight. Very good all round performance and unlucky not to walk away with the points. I think Greenie gives players confidence which is half the battle.

An entertaining game, with some great play by both sides. We were much better than I expected, all our players stepped up and we looked so much more the part than we have during almost all the season. Ljujic had a strong game, just needed an on target shot from him. Burns was a lot better and looked dangerous. Real shame Sail didn't deal with the corner, he impressed otherwise. My main disappointment was Galloway.

When we were positive, positive things happened. A team worth supporting, Im very pleased to say that!

I only saw the last 30 minutes but wow, that was one of the best performances we've put this year! Looking forward to seeing them here in 5 days! ??

"Brisbane fielded an unchanged starting line-up from the one which beat league leaders Sydney FC 2-1 last week,"

"Burns came close to sealing the win for Wellington with an 88th minute thunderbolt but Roar keeper Jamie Young delivered a top-drawer save in tipping the strike onto the crossbar to leave the scores level."

He also said Burns would have scored if his shot had been "just 6 inches" lower lol.

Great entertaining, to bad the season is over. Krishna should played a whole half, he had no impact. Burns was massive. Llujic great work rate. Liberato looked like a seasoned player, pretty amazing. But, we still can't win ;-(

What a save that was by Young. I guess the draw was a fair result, but considering one team was full strength and one was cobbled together, we deserved the points. Well done Greenie on a great lineup, utilising everyone's strengths and playing a goo game plan.
