Welcome to Total A-Leagues Ep 25! Vince Rugari is joined by Tommy Oar and Daniel McBreen to unpack a huge week across the league as the finals race reaches boiling point.

We look at our Moments of the Week — Gallegos’ stunning strike, Wellington’s big win, and Mitch Duke’s brace — before diving into the top-six fallout from Melbourne City v Central Coast Mariners.

We preview a fiery Sydney Derby, ask whether the Wanderers’ rebuild starts now, and discuss how badly both clubs need to avoid the spoon. Sydney FC’s poor start under Patrick Kisnorbo raises questions too — could they actually miss the six?

Newcastle Jets v Adelaide shapes as a must-watch with two of the league’s best attacks, and we debate whether the Jets can genuinely go on to win both the Premiers Plate and the Grand Final. Auckland FC v Melbourne Victory is another blockbuster as Auckland chase revenge for last season, with Juan Mata’s availability still in doubt.

We also size up the elimination finals picture — who’s in form, how much home advantage really matters, and whether there’s another Victory-style run from outside the top four coming. Plus, Nalin Mastou returns with a fun mix of Arnie tales, infamous tackles that should’ve been red and our favourite derby moments.

Dub Zone Ep 25 wraps up the final round of the A-League Women’s regular season with a massive episode hosted by Amy Duggan, alongside Teresa Polias and Teo Pellizzeri.

This week, the crew looks back at the Moments of the Season, including the unforgettable Samba in Wonderland, and break down all the drama, goals, surprises, and storylines that defined the year.

Plus, our pundits reveal their official Teams of the Season, debating the standout performers, breakout stars and the players who shaped the competition.

It’s the ultimate season-ending Dub Zone special - packed with analysis, highlights and all the vibes that made this year unforgettable.

The penultimate round of the Ninja A-League season delivered drama, upsets and a historic milestone - and the Dub Zone panel is here to break it all down.

Host Nalin Mastou is joined by Ninja A-League commentator Teo Pellizzeri and former player Grace Gill to unpack Melbourne City's unprecedented third straight premiership, the shock results that blew the top-six race wide open, and everything riding on a massive final round. 

From Claudia Jenkins' jaw-dropping triple save for Adelaide, to Macey Fraser's viral free kick for Wellington, to Bev Priestman's raw and emotional sideline speech - the moments kept coming. 

The panel also previews the blockbuster final-round fixtures:

• Adelaide vs Wellington
• Canberra vs Brisbane Roar, 
• A depleted Central Coast Mariners taking on Sydney FC without Izzy Gomez, Prakash, or Trimmers. 

Plus, the Golden Boot race goes right down to the wire.

One round to go. Everything still to play for.

A blockbuster week across the Isuzu UTE A-League begins with Ufuk Talay’s shock exit from Sydney FC and Patrick Kisnorbo’s return to the league as the new Sky Blues boss.

We break down what it means for Sydney and the direction of the club.

Elsewhere, did the Newcastle Jets score the goal that effectively seals the Premiers Plate? A wild, aggressive offside trap has fans debating whether it was genius or madness, while Max Burgess dishes out revenge on his former side.

Macarthur’s stunning win over Auckland shakes up the title race and top-six battle, and the race for ACL Elite qualification gets even tighter.

We also dive into the Socceroos squad dilemmas, react to Gary van Egmond’s brutal assessment of his own team, and ask the question: can anyone catch Juan Mata in the race for the Johnny Warren Medal?

All that and more in Episode 23 of Total A-Leagues.

Tommy and the boys sit down with Luke Brattan and Harry Sawyer for a cracking second part of the second episode of Kicking Back. 

They go deep on Ange Postecoglou - what he was really like as a manager, his famous morning handshake ritual and how he ruthlessly cleared out Brisbane Roar's big names to build his way.

Luke opens up about his time at Manchester City training alongside Aguero, Silva and Toure, a brutal loan spell at Bolton under Neil Lennon and playing in North Korea twice during the AFC Cup.

Plus, the story behind first A-Leagues goals, a notorious grand final red card and why it took so long to get a crack at the top level.

A must-listen.

Archie Thompson and Thomas Sorensen join Jake Barker-Daish to discuss all the biggest moments from a huge weekend of A-League action, including Gary van Egmond’s pointed comments at his playing group, Newcastle’s potentially title securing win, Macarthur turning over Auckland, the contentious non-handball call in Brisbane, Adam Taggart taking the Perth Glory A-League goal scoring record and plenty more.

Dub Zone Special breaks down everything from the Matildas’ 0–1 loss to Japan at the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026 — key moments, tactical shifts, standout performers, and what this result means for Australia heading forward.

We also dive into Ninja A-League Round 20, where the race for the Premiers Plate and top-six spots is heating up. Who’s in form? Who’s slipping?

And which teams now control their own destiny?

The boys are back together: Vince Rugari, Tommy Oar and Daniel McBreen break down a massive week in the A-Leagues. 

Auckland's win over Newcastle has blown the Premier's Plate race wide open, and Melbourne City's statement victory over Sydney FC has them right back in the finals hunt.

Then there's the big talking point: is Ufuk Talay about to cross the road to Western Sydney Wanderers?

Plus, Adrian Segecic chooses Croatia over the Socceroos, the Socceroos squad debate heats up (Max Burgess? Nathaniel Atkinson?), Rhyan Grant hits 400 games for Sydney FC, Juan Mata continues to run the show at Melbourne Victory and the Matildas are into the Asian Cup Final.

Don't miss it.
