NPL Report Cards | Coaching Rumour Mill | A Musical Georgies Farewell

With the regular season in the books, Josh, Nick and Ivka grade the seasons of all the clubs who missed the finals, while Ivka has breaking news on Avondale's search for a new coach. We pick through the debris of Altona's late equaliser to deny Preston a home final, and Heidelberg saving Ivka's bacon by squeezing into the six at the expense of Caroline Springs George Cross. In VPL1, Brunswick Juventus are officially promoted to the top flight for the first time in 15 years, a stunning day at the Veneto Club is accompanied by a thrilling 10-man victory over Northcote City, and a late Knights collapse at The Web earns Eltham a playoff spot ahead of FC Melbourne Srbija.
