AVONDALE ARE CHAMPIONS! | Bruno's sacrifice | Northcote & Bayside promoted

The gang's all here as Lachie joins Josh, Nick and Ivka in the Content Hype studio for the final podcast of the 2026 NPL Victoria season!

Avondale are crowned champions in a dramatic penalty shootout, after holding premiers Oakleigh to a scoreless draw. We review their rollercoaster season that ended in a perfect swansong for departing head coach Jonatan Germano and star striker Bruno Fornaroli - who sacrificed a move to another Australian Championship club to play in the decider.

Plus, there's physics-defying penalties, legal proceedings, our BOLD predictions for 2027, and one final musical masterpiece from Maestro Flannigan.
