NPL VIC R15 | South's backflip | Thunder show some fight | GV Suns' Matthew Lelliott

We were ready to drop 40 minutes on Sinisa's sacking - and then South Melbourne reinstated him the morning after we recorded. So please enjoy the remainder of this week's NPL Victoria Podcast! Rumours of Dandenong Thunder's inevitable demise may have been exaggerated, after a spirited showing in a 4-2 loss away to Heidelberg. But do the Thunder have only 3 weeks left to save their season? Elsewhere, Bruno nets another hat trick, Melbourne City's international gamble backfires, we examine the Dinamo v Preston Zapruder film and GV Suns midfielder Matthew Lelliott joins us for a VPL2 deep dive.
