It's a full house this week as Josh, Ivka, Lachie and Nick tuck into South Melbourne's stunning 3-0 win over Preston, featuring a Campbell Dovison worldie and another managerial masterstroke from Sinisa Cohadzic. How are South still competing on all fronts? And what's behind Preston's stuttering start?

We dive into the scheduling of NPL Victoria's showpiece match-up. Was 3pm on Orthodox Easter Saturday really the opportune time? And is it time for Football Victoria to take back control of their fixture?

Plus, Heidelberg are pegged back in stoppage time by Altona Magic, Oakleigh shade Hume in a 5-goal shootout, there's a Japanese civil war breaking out at Fox St, a Bulleen resurgence has Nick up and about, and Ivka helps cheer up a stricken Dandy City star with the farcical tale of his own knee implosion.

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.

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.
