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.

Welcome to The Late Late Show with Nick, Josh & Ivka!

The trio hop on the mic after Victory's dramatic comeback and even more dramatic collapse against Avondale in stoppage time. Were the young Vucks hard done by against the league leaders?

Hume City have sacked another head coach with a winning record, but still got the job done against Dandenong City with 10 men. We ponder why Ric Marchioli was shown the door, and what the future might hold at Broadmeadows.

South Melbourne and Preston both drop precious points - which side is in better shape heading into The Big Show #2 at Lakeside?

There's a look ahead to tonight's Dockerty Cup Round 7 triple-header. Who's going to the national stages?

Plus, Josh & Ivka trade barbs over Heidelberg's "clock management", there's water polo at Somers St, and one member of the pod might end up immortalised in a mural at Mahoney's Reserve.

Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH NPL Victoria? One brave commentator put that to the test this weekend on his trip south of the Barassi Line, and has been left a little worse for wear.

It's a full complement this week as Josh, Nick, Ivka and Lachie dive into Hume's thrilling win over Gully, and South's impressive second-half showing against Victory. Have South Melbourne turned a corner?

Thunder won their sixth straight derby at Frank Holohan in incredibly dramatic and contentious fashion. Were Dandy City hard done by?

Meanwhile, St Albans took a shock two-goal lead at Olympic Village, only to cough it up in typical fashion. Does it still count as a good point on the road, or are Dinamo destined for the drop?

Plus, there's been a spiritual awakening in VPL1 as Georgies find their groove, and an insane promotion race unfolds in VPL2.
