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!

Can Avondale recover from losing half their squad in the offseason?

How will South Melbourne balance their OFC Pro League schedule with competing in the NPL?

And can Preston overhaul a 6-point deduction to challenge for the title?

Josh, Nick & Ivka look ahead to the 2026 VPL1 & VPL2 season and make our predictions!

From Brunswick Juve's spending spree, to a Besart Berisha-coached Melbourne Victory, to the Melbourne Knights redeem team, VPL1 is filled with fascinating storylines. But one eternal question remains: is this finally Bulleen's year?

South Melbourne are the champions, lifting their first national title in 26 years thanks to a spectacular start at Olympic Village. How have Hellas pulled off this midseason resurrection? And where did it all go wrong for Marconi? Josh, Ivka, Teo and Molchy are on deck for our final NPL Victoria x From The Gantry megapod of the season.

Plus, Teo takes us back to when he first encountered a frustrated NPLW coach by the name of Sinisa Cohadzic, and we ask the biggest question: did season one of the Australian Championship bring us closer to the dream of a standalone national second division?

It's an ensemble cast this week as Nick D'Urbano times his run perfectly to the back post to join the NPL Vic x From The Gantry Megapod for the first time, alongside Josh Parish, Alex Molchanoff, Nick Kutnjak, Mark Ivkovic and Lachie Flannigan.

South Melbourne are through to the inaugural Australian Championship Grand Final, after Manny Aguek did his best John Anastasiadis impression to ghost in straight off the bench. We review a thrilling Greek Derby from all angles.

The choice of Olympic Village as the Grand Final venue has provoked heated debate this week. With Lakeside unavailable, did FA make the right call?

And Marconi proved the "doubters" wrong again to end Moreton City Excelsior's dream run (even though every member of the pod tipped them to do just that). Could Peter Tsekenis' siege mentality and big-game nous be the difference on Saturday?

It's a Victorian takeover on the megapod this week as Josh, Lachie, Teo & Ivka review four enthralling quarter finals in the Australian Championship!

This weekend saw the debut of the FVS (Football Video Support) system - has the addition of a coach's challenge fixed VAR?

James Hilton lived out every goalkeeper's wildest dream on Friday night, saving three penalties and converting the winner himself in the shootout. We dive into the details of a wickedly fun Derby D'Italia as Marconi upset APIA.

Meanwhile, Moreton City dazzle against 10-man Avondale - but did Jonatan Germano get his team selection all wrong?

And Heidelberg were behind for all of four minutes before smashing Metrostars for six, while Max Mikkola used the sixth ball of the over to befuddle Chris Marques from the long throw, setting up a massive Greek derby semi final at Lakeside.

It's a full house this week as Josh & Ivka are joined by From The Gantry's Alex Molchanoff, Will Konstandinidis and Nick Kutnjak (plus a late cameo from Teo Pellizzeri) for another Aus Championship megapod!

There's only one place to start - what on earth happened to Marconi at Collegians on Saturday? Needing only to avoid a 6-goal defeat to progress, Wollongong took a 5-0 lead with 5 minutes to play, and the Stallions were one Banri Kanaizumi diving header away from elimination in stoppage time.

Why has it taken so long for the Wolves to find their form? And can Marconi recover from this thrashing in time for the Quarter Finals?

Elsewhere, a threadbare Preston left themselves with too much to do on the final day, as Louie Acevski's 9-year reign ends with a draw away to Avondale, while Spirit eke out a 1-0 win in Canberra to take their place.

Plus, there's the usual goalfests in Group A, and the Bayswater bubble bursts at Leichhardt Oval, with a red card and a heavy defeat to APIA that sees Metrostars progress.

Finally, we look ahead to the knockout rounds as the Championship serves up four tasty quarter finals!
