| NPL VICTORIA R4 | Heidelberg edge out Preston in JA masterclass | Striker bingo at the Gully Bistro | An important message from Michael Weier | 11 Mar 2026 | 01:46:02 | |
In a brief diversion from regular programming, Content Hype's Matt Galea is joined by Green Gully goalkeeper Michael Weier to discuss his fundraising efforts for the Cervical Cancer Foundation, in honour of his mum. Then it's back to our usual nonsense, as Josh and Ivka desperately negotiate a hostage situation unfolding in Lachie Flannigan's Sydney apartment. We dive deep into the Sunday afternoon feast that was Preston vs Heidelberg - a high-quality contest decided by the narrowest of margins. How did Johnny A overcome the loss of his skipper at halftime? And where did the Lions fall just short? There's plenty of fun to be had around the grounds despite an unusually low-scoring weekend, and some rousing pre-game VPL1 pump-ups doing the rounds on social media, before Nick D'Urbano is held at gunpoint in the tipping contest (this section is best enjoyed on video). 00:00:17 - An important message from Michael Weier 00:08:13 - Preston 0-1 Heidelberg 00:32:35 - Green Gully 1-1 Hume City 00:48:20 - Dandy City 0-0 George Cross 00:56:55 - Altona Magic 0-1 St Albans Dinamo 01:01:50 - Dandy Thunder 0-1 Avondale 01:09:45 - South Melbourne 1-0 Bentleigh 01:18:00 - Melbourne City 1-1 Oakleigh 01:25:20 - VPL1 01:35:20 NPL Vic Round 5 Tips The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2026 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

| Utter coaching CHAOS | South find their new manager as TWO NPL head coaches depart! | 06 May 2025 | 01:32:06 | |
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.

| Screamers & comebacks galore | Dinamo down Knights | 5-star Preston turn on the style | 08 Jul 2025 | 01:35:52 | |
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.

| All aboard the Popemobile | Knights board steps down | Guest in class | 26 May 2025 | 01:36:58 | |
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?

| NPL VICTORIA R10 | Carpenter WORLDIE but Bergers win it late | Magic Manyec decides the Dandy Derby | The great U23 debate | 29 Apr 2026 | 01:54:11 | |
Josh, Nick & Ivka review Heidelberg's thrilling win over Avondale, decided by a Marcus Humbert masterclass - but it was Blake Carpenter's goal of the season contender that stole the show. Why was George Ott on the bench? And will the Bergers' profligacy be their undoing this season? Then it's Dandy Derby time, where brilliant newcomer Laat Manyec's 90th minute goal was enough for Thunder to continue their dominance in this fixture, while City were left to rue some spurned first half chances. And we dive into the debate raging over the new U23 rules governing top flight sides. Are the best U20s now the most valuable players in the comp? And should the rules really still apply to NPL sides in the Dockerty Cup? Plus, there's despair for Dinamo, an unhappy dugout debut for Andy Vargas, and D'Urbano is fired up as Bulleen Lions roar back into form.

Steve Curtain steps in alongside Josh Parish and Mark Ivkovic this week as we dive into Pierce Waring's brilliant brace for Dandy City against Green Gully. Have Hajduk found their answer up top? And what does Andy Vargas taking over as head coach mean for the Cavaliers? South Melbourne rolled out the U23s on a strange afternoon against Oakleigh, sparking debate about their competing commitments. Elsewhere, Jay Romanovski's worldie steals the show as Altona and Thunder play out an unexpected thriller, Heidelberg get their mojo back, and Blake Carpenter masters the knuckleball. Plus, long throw merchant Josh Dennett is at it again, Bulleen leave it late at Lawton Park, and Nunawading City are forced to play in knock-off England jerseys in a hilarious VPL2 kit mix-up.

| NPL VICTORIA R5 | Brilliant Bergers sweep Oakleigh aside | 2nd-string South spark Gully crisis | Siciliano silences the doubters | 18 Mar 2026 | 01:16:34 | |
Josh & Ivka review Heidelberg's comprehensive dismantling of Oakleigh, taking just 32 minutes to stick three goals past the hosts at Jack Edwards Reserve. Have the Bergers made up for their offseason departures? And where did Chris Taylor's men come unstuck? Elsewhere, Green Gully are in full-blown crisis after losing to a side largely made of South Melbourne's U23s. How long does David Chick have left in the dugout? And how have South and Sinisa topped the table amidst their OFC fixture congestion? Over at BT Connor, a goalkeeping masterclass from Christian Siciliano denies Preston all three points, despite the Lions laying siege to the George Cross goal in the second half. But will the podcast's own cantankerous former goalkeeper begrudge him any credit? Plus, there's another cement mixer sighting, fences falling over at Somers Street, and the NPL's foremost shithouser is unmasked. 0:00:00 - Oakleigh 2-3 Heidelberg 0:10:36 - Green Gully 0-1 South Melbourne 0:26:48 - Preston Lions 1-1 George Cross 0:36:02 - Avondale 4-1 Dandy City 0:44:43 - Hume City 3-1 Dandy Thunder 0:49:54 - Melbourne City 5-0 Dinamo 0:57:30 - Altona 0-2 Bentleigh 1:01:28 - VPL1 & VPL2 Round-up The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2026 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

| NPL VICTORIA R6 | David Chick sacked | Preston edge Avondale grudge match | Dinamo STUN Heidelberg | 25 Mar 2026 | 01:38:34 | |
Josh & Ivka are holding down the fort once again this week, but there's more than enough storylines to keep us occupied. Green Gully have finally parted ways with their head coach following a disastrous 4-0 defeat to Bentleigh Greens on Friday night. Where to now for the Cavaliers in their battle against relegation? Preston Lions and Avondale battled it out in an engaging, seesawing contest at BT Connor, with Zoran Markovski and several of his players tasted victory against their former club at the first time of asking. But with an injury crisis looming for Preston in defence, could it all be set to unravel? And St Albans Dinamo summed up the word of the week - "boucebackability" - in their surprise comeback over Heidelberg. Has Cam Watson found a winning formula? Plus, there's cherry pickers, interrupted travel plans, and an impact sub proving a point to his manager. 00:01:30 - Bentleigh 4-0 Green Gully 00:21:40 - Preston 2-1 Avondale 00:41:43 - Dinamo 2-1 Heidelberg 00:52:10 - Dandenong Thunder 3-0 South Melbourne 00:56:35 - Oakleigh 2-1 George Cross 01:03:45 - Melbourne City 1-1 Altona Magic 01:09:25 - Dandenong City 1-1 Hume City 01:15:17 - VPL1 01:27:51 - VPL2 01:32:30 - NPL VIC Round 7 Tips The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2026 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

| NPL VICTORIA R7 | Hume's Statement Win | Drinks Are Flowing at Lakeside | Bentleigh's Resurgence | 02 Apr 2026 | 01:53:28 | |
Nick and Lachie return to the pod, joining Ivka for a huge review of Round 7 of the NPL Victoria season. Hume City continue their incredible run of form with their most impressive win yet over an injury-hit Preston Lions. Are Hume starting to prove all the doubters wrong? South Melbourne bounced back with a resounding 4-2 win over last year's Grand Finalists Dandenong City in a game which may have had the celebration of the season. How will South balance their next lot of OFC Pro League fixtures and is the pressure rising on Dandy? And Bentleigh secured yet another impressive win, continuing a very solid stretch. Plus, the fallout from Brunswick City coach's Nick Kyriopoulos' sending off and much more. (The podcast was recorded prior to his suspension being handed down by Football Victoria.)

| The biggest NPL Victoria weekend ever? | Dandy City break the curse | Preston get their revenge | Heidelberg make Aus Cup final | 03 Sep 2025 | 01:36:01 | |
Massive crowds, upsets, and an NPL Victoria team in the Australia Cup final for the first time: it was a good weekend to be a football fan in Melbourne. Josh, Lachie and Ivka dive deep into Dandenong Thunder's failure to launch at home to Hajduk. Why can't Adam Piddick's teams seem to win in the finals? And could Dandy City become the first 6th-placed team to make it to the big dance? Preston brought 2,000 raucous supporters to Jack Edwards Reserve, and banished the ghosts of their infamous 4-0 defeat in Round 20 by knocking out the reigning champions. With just one goal conceded in seven games, could a watertight defence be Preston's path to glory? Meanwhile, Auckland becomes Heidelberg's latest A-League victim, while Avondale and Luca Tevere come up just short against the Newcastle Jets. There's a full preview of this weekend's revised VPL1 playoff match-ups, and a tasty set of NPL semi finals as the Bergers host Preston on Friday before Dandy City travel to Avenger Park on Sunday afternoon.

| Dinamo Reverse the Curse | Diaz at the Double | Knights on the Precipice | 25 Jun 2025 | 01:37:50 | |
St Albans looked set for a fourth straight Desmond, before Mickel Platt stepped up in stoppage time. Are Dinamo set for another great escape? And why do Oakleigh always seem to get the June blues? Victory's goalkeeping woes continue as Port Melbourne takes the chocolates in Bundoora. But can the Sharks keep hold of their star man? Kalilou Kamara saves a point for Avondale against Preston, there's drama on the touchline at Frank Holohan, and the unthinkable now seems inevitable for the Melbourne Knights. Plus, the Luke Lofts show continues in VPL1 as Georgies edge ahead of Bentleigh in the race for promotion. Will George Katsakis light up the bat signal?

| Hellas & Heidelberg Into Dockerty Cup Final | Catch-Up Round Chaos at Somers Street | 16 Jul 2025 | 01:05:00 | |
It's an Espresso Edition (by our standards) of the pod this week and Josh, Nick & Ivka dive into the Dockerty Cup semi finals and catch-up round games. With a 3-1 upset win over Avondale, South Melbourne are officially 'Box Office' again. How has Sinisa Cohadzic transformed the playing style in the space of a few months? Meanwhile, a strange Avondale XI has the pod scratching our heads. Over at Olympic Village, Heidelberg put a beatdown on helpless VPL2 opposition, as Nunawading's magical run comes to a close. Elsewhere, Knights and Oakleigh play out a six-goal thriller that went right to the wire, and Josh was in attendance at CB Smith to make sure the lights stayed on for Brunswick Juventus v Werribee City. Plus, all our predictions for Round 22, as the title race and the battle for the top six heat up, and it's crunch time for the sides still marooned in the bottom three.

| Can Knights pull off the great escape? | Oakleigh demolish Preston | Murphy's law for Gully | 01 Jul 2025 | 01:41:58 | |
Josh, Nick and Ivka dive into the Knights' 2-1 win over Victory in a relegation six-pointer. Is this the start of an unlikely revival? Plus, Ivka delivers a first-hand account of last week's SGM, and we discuss the approach of the new board to dissenting voices. Preston were humbled inside 20 minutes at the hands of Oakleigh, in a behind-closed-doors affair at Jack Edwards Reserve. Was this Joe Guest's masterpiece? And what went wrong for the Lions? Elsewhere, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong for Green Gully in a surprise 3-2 defeat to Altona Magic, while both Dandenong sides rose to the challenge with draws away at Avondale and Heidelberg. And in VPL1, there's a return of a Bulleen favourite to the Veneto Club, and a big twist in the battle for automatic promotion.

| Mikkola's Magic Moment | Victory STUN Oakleigh | Transfer Silly Season Begins | 17 Jun 2025 | 01:50:05 | |
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.

| NPL VIC R16 | Sinisa's return | Hajduk do the double over Heidelberg | Bentleigh into drop zone | 11 Jun 2026 | 01:34:29 | |
A week after South Melbourne's dramatic U-turn on sacking their head coach, Josh, Lachie and Ivka dive deep into the Sinisa saga, as Hellas go down 3-2 at home to Altona Magic. | |||
| Debating Esteban's legacy | Heidelberg flying high | Knights humbled at home | 15 Apr 2025 | 01:57:57 | |
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!
