It's a full house this week as Josh & Ivka are joined by From The Gantry's Alex Molchanoff, Will Konstandinidis and Nick Kutnjak (plus a late cameo from Teo Pellizzeri) for another Aus Championship megapod!
There's only one place to start - what on earth happened to Marconi at Collegians on Saturday? Needing only to avoid a 6-goal defeat to progress, Wollongong took a 5-0 lead with 5 minutes to play, and the Stallions were one Banri Kanaizumi diving header away from elimination in stoppage time.
Why has it taken so long for the Wolves to find their form? And can Marconi recover from this thrashing in time for the Quarter Finals?
Elsewhere, a threadbare Preston left themselves with too much to do on the final day, as Louie Acevski's 9-year reign ends with a draw away to Avondale, while Spirit eke out a 1-0 win in Canberra to take their place.
Plus, there's the usual goalfests in Group A, and the Bayswater bubble bursts at Leichhardt Oval, with a red card and a heavy defeat to APIA that sees Metrostars progress.
Finally, we look ahead to the knockout rounds as the Championship serves up four tasty quarter finals!
