Hume City's 12th man | Oakleigh sweep Avondale aside | Gully's great escape over?

<p>Josh returns alongside Mark Ivkovic to dive into a truly ridiculous affair at Genis Steel Stadium on Friday night - including penalties at both ends, goal-line drama, a melee inside the net and Hume seeing a goal disallowed after a botched quadruple substitution. Preston have now won seven in a row in all competitions - should the Lions be considered legitimate title contenders?<br /><br />Elsewhere, Avondale continue to flatter to deceive against the big dogs, as Oakleigh extend their cushion atop the table, while Green Gully's great escape is left hanging by a thread following a 3-1 home defeat to Altona Magic.<br /><br />Plus, there's a nine-goal thriller at CB Smith, and a VPL1 star submits his contender for goal of the season.</p><p></p><p>The NPL Victoria Podcast is brought to you in 2026 by Melville Bodyworks, located at 106 Melville Rd Brunswick West.
