    NPL VICTORIA R11 | Fornaroli HAT-TRICK | Hume topple Heidelberg | Razzle dazzle Dinamo

    Josh, Nick & Ivka dive into Hume City's incredible win over a disappointing Heidelberg. Is this performance enough to dispel any lingering doubts? Is the early kick-off time their secret weapon? And why are the Bergers encountering so many false dawns? St Albans tore Bentleigh apart for 70 minutes - and it almost came crashing down in a chaotic last 20. Have Dinamo finally found a consistent formula? And will Lloyd Isgrove manage to reclaim his spot in the starting XI? And it was a tough afternoon for Georgies away at Avenger Park, as some 'coach killers' at the back and a brilliant Bruno hat-trick saw the newly promoted side cop a hiding. Are George Cross beginning to let their bright start slip? The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2026 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

    NPL VICTORIA R10 | Carpenter WORLDIE but Bergers win it late | Magic Manyec decides the Dandy Derby | The great U23 debate

    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.  The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2026 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

    NPL VICTORIA R9 | Vargas takes charge at Gully | South 'disrespecting' the NPL? | Hajduk & Thunder hit form ahead of Dandy Derby

    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 R8 | South Melbourne steal the Big Show against Preston | Oakleigh edge Hume in thriller

    Donate to Brad Plant's recovery fund here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/plantys-surgery-assistance 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.

    NPL VICTORIA R7 | Hume's Statement Win | Drinks Are Flowing at Lakeside | Bentleigh's Resurgence

    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.

    NPL VICTORIA R6 | David Chick sacked | Preston edge Avondale grudge match | Dinamo STUN Heidelberg

    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 R5 | Brilliant Bergers sweep Oakleigh aside | 2nd-string South spark Gully crisis | Siciliano silences the doubters

    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 R4 | Heidelberg edge out Preston in JA masterclass | Striker bingo at the Gully Bistro | An important message from Michael Weier

    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.
