427 days. 26 games. 49 goals. Three A-League league records. Nearly 250,000 fans through the gates. And now — just 48 hours until Auckland FC’s first-ever A-League Semi Final.

Welcome to Episode 29 of Nice Drop of Port — the Thursday night countdown to the big one.

Tonight, we break down both elimination finals, ask if Western United are still a threat, and dig into what makes our semi opponents Melbourne Victory tick — plus how Auckland FC can take them down.

We’ve got NZ Herald’s Bonnie Jansen joining the show, Robbie Feldman bringing the gold-standard insight, and of course, Matt — ever-present through every twist and turn of the season.

From record-breaking crowds to defensive dominance and a silverware-winning debut season — Auckland FC are on the brink of history yet again.
