    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.

    NPL VICTORIA R3 | Georgies on top! | Avondale thrash Gully in El Sackico | Heidelberg's home streak over

    Nick is back alongside Lachie and Ivka as the crew reviews a fascinating set of Round 3 results. Caroline Springs George Cross are top of the table, and Ivka's been hearing all about it - but the podcast's resident Roy Keane tells the Maltese community not to count their spray-painted red chickens just yet.  Meanwhile, Heidelberg's incredible undefeated streak at Olympic Village comes to an end in a Grand Final rematch, Avondale demolish Green Gully 5-0 to leave David Chick's tenure in jeopardy, and it's the Josh Dennett show at the Veneto Club as Eltham Redbacks hammer Bulleen.  The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2026 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

    NPL VICTORIA R2 | Hume break South curse | Georgies glory in Maltese derby | Preston flex their muscle

    The OFC Pro League rotation policy has hit the podcast, with Steve Curtain stepping in alongside Lachie Flannigan and Mark Ivkovic, while Josh serves a touchline ban for spreading false rumours.  Hume City finally beat their bogey side, but against a weakened South Melbourne, how much does the result really mean? Caroline Springs George Cross triumph in the Maltese Derby as Green Gully put in a tepid performance. Were we wrong about Georgies as relegation battlers?  And Preston Lions put on a show in a 3-0 dismantling of St Albans Dinamo - have Zoran Markovski's side found their groove? Plus, a rendition of the Oakleigh team song gets put under the microscope, and Lachie has a conspiracy theory about one VPL1 club.  The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2026 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.

    NPL VICTORIA ROUND 1 | Preston steal the points | South Melb sweep Avondale aside | Loza's genius

    Josh, Nick & Ivka dive into Preston's unlikely smash-and-grab victory away to Oakleigh - a match the Cannons dominated until the last 15 minutes. What went so wrong for the Lions, and how on earth did they turn it around? Meanwhile, Green Gully push Heidelberg to the brink with an acrobatic disallowed goal from Bilal Habib in stoppage time, while South Melbourne recover from their Oceania travails to deny Avondale at Avenger Park.  And after he masterminded a 3-1 upset win away to Hume City, we ponder whether Altona Magic coach Goran Lozanovski is the Claudio Ranieri of the NPL!

    South Melbourne make history | Sinisa's unlikely backstory | Reflections on Year 1 of the Australian Championship

    South Melbourne are the champions, lifting their first national title in 26 years thanks to a spectacular start at Olympic Village. How have Hellas pulled off this midseason resurrection? And where did it all go wrong for Marconi? Josh, Ivka, Teo and Molchy are on deck for our final NPL Victoria x From The Gantry megapod of the season.  Plus, Teo takes us back to when he first encountered a frustrated NPLW coach by the name of Sinisa Cohadzic, and we ask the biggest question: did season one of the Australian Championship bring us closer to the dream of a standalone national second division?

    South Melbourne & Marconi set up dream decider | The great Grand Final venue debate

    It's an ensemble cast this week as Nick D'Urbano times his run perfectly to the back post to join the NPL Vic x From The Gantry Megapod for the first time, alongside Josh Parish, Alex Molchanoff, Nick Kutnjak, Mark Ivkovic and Lachie Flannigan.  South Melbourne are through to the inaugural Australian Championship Grand Final, after Manny Aguek did his best John Anastasiadis impression to ghost in straight off the bench. We review a thrilling Greek Derby from all angles. The choice of Olympic Village as the Grand Final venue has provoked heated debate this week. With Lakeside unavailable, did FA make the right call? And Marconi proved the "doubters" wrong again to end Moreton City Excelsior's dream run (even though every member of the pod tipped them to do just that). Could Peter Tsekenis' siege mentality and big-game nous be the difference on Saturday?
