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.

37 minutes was all it took for Jack Pope to write his name in South Melbourne folklore, with two ripper goals and a red card for shirt-fronting a Knights opponent, helping lift Hellas out of the relegation zone.

Josh, Lachie and Ivka sift through the derby debris and ponder where to now for the Knights, as news breaks live during recording of the resignation of Club President Simon Pincic and the rest of the incumbent board.

Elsewhere, Preston nab a point late against Dandy City, Altona's win has the air raid sirens sounding at Churchill Reserve, and we wonder whether Joe Guest has already inscribed his name on the Gold Medal.

Plus, a there's a nine-goal thriller and a four-way title race in VPL2 - do we have a new pretender to the Chaos League throne?

An unprecedented relegation six-pointer looms in the OG Melbourne derby. How on earth did we get here?

Josh is back alongside Nick and Ivka to dive into South Melbourne's shock defeat at the hands of Port Melbourne. Just who is Maxim Gaydovskiy, and could the new boss lead the Sharks to safety?

The Knights missed their late chance to stun Heidelberg, and have turned to John Markovski. His first game in the dugout: against the old enemy. Fresh from his struggles with Port, is Jonesy the right man to take on the burden?

Green Gully have a sound and lights show to accompany their massive turnaround in form. David Chick's side shook off the disappointment of a midweek Australia Cup exit and a saved Aamir Abdallah penalty, firing three goals past Dandenong Thunder in the final 11 minutes. Just two points off the finals spots, will the Cavaliers make a late charge?

Meanwhile, Avondale make light work a short-handed Oakleigh, Preston grind out a much-needed win over Hume, and Dinamo cough up yet another lead.

Plus, there's plenty to discuss out of VPL2, as Goran Zoric rolls back the years, the Redbacks pull victory from the jaws of defeat, and an 18-year-old claims a dramatic hat-trick for the Royals to tee up a tantalising top-of-the-table clash.

We have officially hit the half-way point of the NPL Victoria season and Nick, Lachie and Ivka are back on deck to dissect a huge round of action!

Green Gully shocked the Victorian football world with a 5-2 thumping of Avondale on Friday night, headlined by a hat-trick from reigning Gold Medallist Aamir Abdallah. Are Gully a potential second-half of the season bolter?

Meanwhile, Dandenong Thunder scored THREE goals in the opening 15 minutes against Preston Lions to continue their brilliant season to date, while the Sinisa Cohadzic era began at South Melbourne.

Elsewhere, Heidelberg won yet again to go top of the league, Hume City continue their winning ways and Melbourne Knights fell to defeat.

The coaching merry-go-round has well and truly arrived in NPL Victoria and Lachie, Mark and Nick are here to pick up the pieces!

The coaching chaos began at South Melbourne, where former Technical Director Sinisa Cohadzic has been confirmed as the club's senior head coach until the end of the season. A familiar face, but is he the right fit at Hellas?

Meanwhile, Melbourne Knights and Port Melbourne BOTH parted ways with their managers in Ivan Franjic and John Markovski. We run the rule over their respective tenures and look ahead to what could lie ahead for Croatia and the Sharks.

Elsewhere, Heidelberg's purple patch of form continued as they broke their Oakleigh Cannons curse, while VPL1 one was back to it's chaotic best.

What a way to return from the Dockerty Cup break!

Nick, Lachie and Ivka are back to dissect a bonkers weekend of NPL Victoria action, which was headlined by Luka Kolic stealing all the headlines on Monday night with a goal which could see him on the plane to The Best FIFA Football Awards!

However, Dandenong Thunder had the last laugh in an incredible come-from-behind victory. Are they firmly contenders for the title?

On Friday, Heidelberg roared past top of the table Avondale in a 3-1 victory at home, to set up a blockbuster clash against Oakleigh Cannons this week.

Meanwhile, South Melbourne fell to defeat against Green Gully in their first league game in the post Esteban Quintas era, and much more.

The end of an era.

South Melbourne have parted ways with Esteban Quintas after a 3-0 humbling at the hands of an irresistible Heidelberg in the Greek Derby, and Josh, Lachie and Ivka are on board to debate the legacy and achievements of the league's most polarising coach.

Melbourne Knights sit in the relegation zone again after a similarly comprehensive defeat to Dandenong Thunder - but why does Ivan Franjic not seem to be under the same sort of pressure?

Daniel Graskoski shines as Preston draw a blank in Bundoora, Joe Knowles dominates as Dandy City wilt at Oakleigh, Josh Hope channels his inner Zidane, and Hume City shoot some fish in a barrel.

Plus, there's a 6-3 in the Chaos League, an outfielder dons the gloves in VPL2, and six games coming up at once on Anzac Day!

Milestone moments, refereeing controversies, temper tantrums, and "Chaos League heritage" finishes - Round 9 had it all. Josh, Nick, Ivka, and our interstate interloper Lachie are on board to break it down in a bumper episode of the NPL Victoria Podcast!

Victory leap into the top six after a thrilling win over St Albans - are the Young Vucks the real deal?

Preston grind it out against the Knights and South barely survive a scare against the Magic, while Heidelberg and Dandy Thunder turn on the style.

Plus, there's the Catenaccio merchants of VPL2, Charlton Heston makes an appearance at Frank Holohan, and we get our hands on the Zapruder film from Pettys Reserve.
