Debating Esteban's legacy | Heidelberg flying high | Knights humbled at home

The end of an era.

South Melbourne have parted ways with Esteban Quintas after a 3-0 humbling at the hands of an irresistible Heidelberg in the Greek Derby, and Josh, Lachie and Ivka are on board to debate the legacy and achievements of the league's most polarising coach.

Melbourne Knights sit in the relegation zone again after a similarly comprehensive defeat to Dandenong Thunder - but why does Ivan Franjic not seem to be under the same sort of pressure?

Daniel Graskoski shines as Preston draw a blank in Bundoora, Joe Knowles dominates as Dandy City wilt at Oakleigh, Josh Hope channels his inner Zidane, and Hume City shoot some fish in a barrel. 

Plus, there's a 6-3 in the Chaos League, an outfielder dons the gloves in VPL2, and six games coming up at once on Anzac Day!
