It's a two-man team this week as Josh and Lachie look ahead to the decider. Dandenong City have become the first sixth-placed team to qualify for a Grand Final, after stunning Premiers Avondale on their own deck.

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 thei...

Josh, Lachie and Ivka break down the Bergers' cup triumph over Wellington, as well as a heartbreaking 1-1 stoppage time draw with Oakleigh that leaves Avondale with the upper hand on the final day.
