It's a two-man team this week as Josh and Lachie look ahead to the decider.
Dandenong City have become the first sixth-placed team to qualify for a Grand Final, after stunning Premiers Avondale on their own deck. Could Nick Tolios be about to surpass his own Cinderella tale from 2019?
Standing in their way is Heidelberg, a team that deserves to cap a sterling campaign with silverware. But with an injury cloud swirling around captain Ben Collins, will Johnny A's men stumble at the final hurdle?
Meanwhile, Zoran Markovski departs as head coach of the Avengers, and we review Preston's first season back in the top flight.
And there are two tasty playoff finals at Lakeside on Sunday to raise the curtain - Brunswick Juventus vs Springvale White Eagles, and Brunswick City vs Melbourne City. Will we see Dunstan Reserve in the top flight?!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
