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...

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 th...

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 t...

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 dr...
