Has there ever been a better round of goals in this competition?
From Diego Cuba's physics-defying free kick to a pair of Preston pile-drivers, we were spoilt for choice for goal of the week. Add in two six-goal thrillers and a pair of backflip celebrations, and NPL Victoria fans were eating good this past weekend.
We start at George Andrews, where Thunder found themselves 3-0 up against Oakleigh inside half an hour, before the Cannons roared back to life in the second half. Then, over at Frank Holohan, a Ren Nagamatsu-inspired South Melbourne ran riot before King Kenny led a late fightback.
Dinamo's decisive derby win leaves the Knights on the brink, Preston bounce back in emphatic fashion, and Nick Hegarty's Hume lose their third on the trot.
Plus in VPL1, we dig into Northcote's decision to sack their coaching duo, and Kingston's incredible 6-1 demolition of Manningham.

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.
