April 02, 2025 South Melbourne drop into relegation zone | Sharks stun Preston | Northcote's incredible comeback
The knives are out for Esteban Quintas again after a home defeat to Dandenong City - but what will it take for South Melbourne to pull the ripcord?

Two former Preston players come back to haunt their former club, with Nick Dib submitting a contender for goal of the season. Where did it go wrong for the Lions away at Port Melbourne?

Plus, there's penalty controversy at Avenger Park, Dinamo disappointing at Somers Street again, and the pod ponders whether Joe Guest has somehow become underrated.

Nick, Josh and Ivka are back on deck to discuss South Melbourne's 3rd defeat on the trot, as Dandenong Thunder climb to an astonishing 2nd in the table.
Injuries derail Preston in the searing heat against Avondale, Asahi Yokokawa nets a magnificent hat trick in Heidelberg's 5-1 humbling of Hume, and Green Gully finally get their first win of the season - an emphatic 3-0 drubbing of the Knights.

Plus, there's a comeback for the ages in VPL1, and a VPL2 star who throws the ball so far, he has academics waxing lyrical.

March 11, 2025 SCENES at BT Connor | Murphy's Law for South Melbourne | Thunder state finals credentials
Josh, Lachie and Ivka recap a wild night in front of 9,036 spectators at Genis Steel Stadium. From Gian Albano's nerves of steel panenka to Lleyton Brooks' emphatic sealer, it's a night no Preston supporter will ever forget.

For South Melbourne, though, the defeat presents a reckoning. Down to their third-string goalkeeper and with two well-rested stars going down injured, is the Esteban Quintas era going into a tailspin?

Heidelberg's defensive injury crisis deepened in a 3-2 defeat to Dandenong Thunder. Will Johnny A's Bergers ever find the consistency they're searching for?

Plus, commentator Brent Sternberg provides some fresh legs off the bench as we break down Green Gully's humiliating 5-0 defeat to Dandy City, Joe Guest's olympico, and Ric Marchioli getting a tune out of Hume.

March 04, 2025 Esteban's gamble backfires | Gully in crisis | Jamal Ali goes on an adventure
Josh, Nick and Ivka discuss South Melbourne's decision to rest seven of their starting XI against Dinamo, with disastrous consequences.

Heidelberg and Preston played out a classic 1-1 draw in Bundoora, in which only star turns from both goalkeepers kept the scoreline in check. But how do the Lions stack up against South on Friday night?

Alarm bells are ringing for the Cavaliers after a 'shock' loss to the Sharks, but one member of the panel wasn't surprised in the slightest. There's screamers and howlers in equal measure as Hume take the points at Frank Holohan, Avondale flexes their squad depth, and Dennis 'The Menace' Menelaou has a night to remember as Bulleen thump North Sunshine.

Plus, we receive a mysterious talkback call from somewhere on the road to Gundagai...

February 25, 2025 A thriller in Bundoora | Reus rules the roost | Dandy City's 'Drogba' moment
Josh, Nick, Ivka and Lachie recap two Monday night classics, with super-sub Tommaso Minutoli putting Melbourne Victory on the brink of a famous win, before a 96th-minute Gustav Moller header saved South Melbourne's blushes.

Meanwhile at the Veneto Club, Luke Lofts suffered defeat at the hands of his former club, despite Lochie Reus netting a goal of the season contender from behind the halfway line.

Plus, 10-man Preston dig in for 3 points in the Maco Derby, George Lambadaridis heads in a 98th-minute leveller in the Dandy Derby, and Avondale make light work of the Knights.
