Josh & Ivka are holding down the fort once again this week, but there's more than enough storylines to keep us occupied.

Green Gully have finally parted ways with their head coach following a disastrous 4-0 defeat to Bentleigh Greens on Friday night. Where to now for the Cavaliers in their battle against relegation?

Preston Lions and Avondale battled it out in an engaging, seesawing contest at BT Connor, with Zoran Markovski and several of his players tasted victory against their former club at the first time of asking. But with an injury crisis looming for Preston in defence, could it all be set to unravel?

And St Albans Dinamo summed up the word of the week - "boucebackability" - in their surprise comeback over Heidelberg. Has Cam Watson found a winning formula?

Plus, there's cherry pickers, interrupted travel plans, and an impact sub proving a point to his manager.
