The OFC Pro League rotation policy has hit the podcast, with Steve Curtain stepping in alongside Lachie Flannigan and Mark Ivkovic, while Josh serves a touchline ban for spreading false rumours.

Hume City finally beat their bogey side, but against a weakened South Melbourne, how much does the result really mean?

Caroline Springs George Cross triumph in the Maltese Derby as Green Gully put in a tepid performance. Were we wrong about Georgies as relegation battlers?

And Preston Lions put on a show in a 3-0 dismantling of St Albans Dinamo - have Zoran Markovski's side found their groove?

Plus, a rendition of the Oakleigh team song gets put under the microscope, and Lachie has a conspiracy theory about one VPL1 club.

Josh, Nick & Ivka dive into Preston's unlikely smash-and-grab victory away to Oakleigh - a match the Cannons dominated until the last 15 minutes. What went so wrong for the Lions, and how on earth did they turn it around?

Meanwhile, Green Gully push Heidelberg to the brink with an acrobatic disallowed goal from Bilal Habib in stoppage time, while South Melbourne recover from their Oceania travails to deny Avondale at Avenger Park.

And after he masterminded a 3-1 upset win away to Hume City, we ponder whether Altona Magic coach Goran Lozanovski is the Claudio Ranieri of the NPL!
