St Albans looked set for a fourth straight Desmond, before Mickel Platt stepped up in stoppage time. Are Dinamo set for another great escape? And why do Oakleigh always seem to get the June blues?

Victory's goalkeeping woes continue as Port Melbourne takes the chocolates in Bundoora. But can the Sharks keep hold of their star man?

Kalilou Kamara saves a point for Avondale against Preston, there's drama on the touchline at Frank Holohan, and the unthinkable now seems inevitable for the Melbourne Knights.

Plus, the Luke Lofts show continues in VPL1 as Georgies edge ahead of Bentleigh in the race for promotion. Will George Katsakis light up the bat signal?

It's all hands on deck this week as Nick, Lachie, Josh & Ivka dive into South Melbourne's storybook finish against Preston, with Max Mikkola scoring a 90th-minute bicycle kick to win the game. Where did South's best performance of the season come from, and why are Preston failing to click in attack?

Melbourne Victory defied the doubters to produce perhaps the greatest result in the history of their academy program, demolishing Oakleigh 5-2 away at Jack Edwards Reserve. Will the young Vucks avoid the drop?

The Melbourne Knights face a reckoning after coughing up the lead to Port Melbourne in stoppage time. Will splashing the cash in the transfer window be too little, too late?

Plus, it's deja vu for Dinamo as they nab an unlikely draw away at Avondale, Heidelberg outclass the Thunder, and one member of the podcast finds out what it feels like to be the VAR.

Welcome to The Late Late Show with Nick, Josh & Ivka!

The trio hop on the mic after Victory's dramatic comeback and even more dramatic collapse against Avondale in stoppage time. Were the young Vucks hard done by against the league leaders?

Hume City have sacked another head coach with a winning record, but still got the job done against Dandenong City with 10 men. We ponder why Ric Marchioli was shown the door, and what the future might hold at Broadmeadows.

South Melbourne and Preston both drop precious points - which side is in better shape heading into The Big Show #2 at Lakeside?

There's a look ahead to tonight's Dockerty Cup Round 7 triple-header. Who's going to the national stages?

Plus, Josh & Ivka trade barbs over Heidelberg's "clock management", there's water polo at Somers St, and one member of the pod might end up immortalised in a mural at Mahoney's Reserve.

Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH NPL Victoria? One brave commentator put that to the test this weekend on his trip south of the Barassi Line, and has been left a little worse for wear.

It's a full complement this week as Josh, Nick, Ivka and Lachie dive into Hume's thrilling win over Gully, and South's impressive second-half showing against Victory. Have South Melbourne turned a corner?

Thunder won their sixth straight derby at Frank Holohan in incredibly dramatic and contentious fashion. Were Dandy City hard done by?

Meanwhile, St Albans took a shock two-goal lead at Olympic Village, only to cough it up in typical fashion. Does it still count as a good point on the road, or are Dinamo destined for the drop?

Plus, there's been a spiritual awakening in VPL1 as Georgies find their groove, and an insane promotion race unfolds in VPL2.

37 minutes was all it took for Jack Pope to write his name in South Melbourne folklore, with two ripper goals and a red card for shirt-fronting a Knights opponent, helping lift Hellas out of the relegation zone.

Josh, Lachie and Ivka sift through the derby debris and ponder where to now for the Knights, as news breaks live during recording of the resignation of Club President Simon Pincic and the rest of the incumbent board.

Elsewhere, Preston nab a point late against Dandy City, Altona's win has the air raid sirens sounding at Churchill Reserve, and we wonder whether Joe Guest has already inscribed his name on the Gold Medal.

Plus, a there's a nine-goal thriller and a four-way title race in VPL2 - do we have a new pretender to the Chaos League throne?

An unprecedented relegation six-pointer looms in the OG Melbourne derby. How on earth did we get here?

Josh is back alongside Nick and Ivka to dive into South Melbourne's shock defeat at the hands of Port Melbourne. Just who is Maxim Gaydovskiy, and could the new boss lead the Sharks to safety?

The Knights missed their late chance to stun Heidelberg, and have turned to John Markovski. His first game in the dugout: against the old enemy. Fresh from his struggles with Port, is Jonesy the right man to take on the burden?

Green Gully have a sound and lights show to accompany their massive turnaround in form. David Chick's side shook off the disappointment of a midweek Australia Cup exit and a saved Aamir Abdallah penalty, firing three goals past Dandenong Thunder in the final 11 minutes. Just two points off the finals spots, will the Cavaliers make a late charge?

Meanwhile, Avondale make light work a short-handed Oakleigh, Preston grind out a much-needed win over Hume, and Dinamo cough up yet another lead.

Plus, there's plenty to discuss out of VPL2, as Goran Zoric rolls back the years, the Redbacks pull victory from the jaws of defeat, and an 18-year-old claims a dramatic hat-trick for the Royals to tee up a tantalising top-of-the-table clash.

We have officially hit the half-way point of the NPL Victoria season and Nick, Lachie and Ivka are back on deck to dissect a huge round of action!

Green Gully shocked the Victorian football world with a 5-2 thumping of Avondale on Friday night, headlined by a hat-trick from reigning Gold Medallist Aamir Abdallah. Are Gully a potential second-half of the season bolter?

Meanwhile, Dandenong Thunder scored THREE goals in the opening 15 minutes against Preston Lions to continue their brilliant season to date, while the Sinisa Cohadzic era began at South Melbourne.

Elsewhere, Heidelberg won yet again to go top of the league, Hume City continue their winning ways and Melbourne Knights fell to defeat.

The coaching merry-go-round has well and truly arrived in NPL Victoria and Lachie, Mark and Nick are here to pick up the pieces!

The coaching chaos began at South Melbourne, where former Technical Director Sinisa Cohadzic has been confirmed as the club's senior head coach until the end of the season. A familiar face, but is he the right fit at Hellas?

Meanwhile, Melbourne Knights and Port Melbourne BOTH parted ways with their managers in Ivan Franjic and John Markovski. We run the rule over their respective tenures and look ahead to what could lie ahead for Croatia and the Sharks.

Elsewhere, Heidelberg's purple patch of form continued as they broke their Oakleigh Cannons curse, while VPL1 one was back to it's chaotic best.
