Saturday saw fans vote on the 2005-2012 A-League era.

John Kosmina and Kevin Muscat's clash from 2006 was too strong for the 2007 Grand Final that saw Melbourne Victory beat Adelaide 6-0. 

It will be a Kosmina derby in the quarter-finals after Danny Allsopp's shoulder-charge of the then-Sydney FC coach beat out Miron Bleiberg's cardboard cutout that he sent to a press conference in his place. 

Wellington's record crowd of 32,792 proved no match for Muscat's penalty miss in the 2010 Grand Final. 

Finally, in the all-Brisbane battle, Roar's 7-1 win over Adelaide was easily defeated by Roar's 36th match unbeaten.
