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 the right man to take on the burden?

Green Gully have a sound and lights show to accompany their massive turnaround in form. David Chick's side shook off the disappointment of a midweek Australia Cup exit and a saved Aamir Abdallah penalty, firing three goals past Dandenong Thunder in the final 11 minutes. Just two points off the finals spots, will the Cavaliers make a late charge?

Meanwhile, Avondale make light work a short-handed Oakleigh, Preston grind out a much-needed win over Hume, and Dinamo cough up yet another lead.

Plus, there's plenty to discuss out of VPL2, as Goran Zoric rolls back the years, the Redbacks pull victory from the jaws of defeat, and an 18-year-old claims a dramatic hat-trick for the Royals to tee up a tantalising top-of-the-table clash.
