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.
