The final round is in the books!
Josh, Lachie and Ivka salute Avondale for lifting the Premiership - and ponder how on earth the star-studded Avengers have managed to concoct a siege mentality.
Meanwhile, the relegated Sharks stun Heidelberg with two screamers to nab a point, Thunder shuffle the pack in a defeat to impregnable Preston, and a few teams appear to already be drinking pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
In VPL1, George Cross demolish Western United 8-0, returning to the top flight for the first time since 2010. Bentleigh Greens are back in the big time as well, coming from behind against Northcote City to seal the title, while Melbourne City's young guns lose their nerve away at Dunstan Reserve.
And in VPL2, an insane final day of action sees Nunawading City and Whittlesea survive by the skin of their teeth, while North Geelong Warriors cap off a memorable season with silverware.
Plus, there's a full preview of this weekend's mouthwatering slate of playoff and elimination finals fixtures!

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. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
