Melbourne Victory enjoyed a strong A-League Men season, finishing third on the ladder and just falling at the final hurdle of the Championship, going down to Central Coast Mariners in the Grand Final.

They’ve already gone through a busy offseason, losing some big players in Jake Brimmer, Damien Da Silva and Paul Izzo, but the biggest loss came in the form of coach Tony Popovic, with Patrick Kisnorbo now in charge for the Navy Blue side.

Their Round of 32 match against Lambton Jaffas will be the first competitive viewing of a new-look Melbourne Victory side, as Kisnorbo looks to kick off his reign with a strong Australia Cup campaign.
