It has been a recruiting focus in the off-season, and Melbourne Victory's defence is new-look ahead of 2021/22.
Of Victory's 11 signings so far, six have been defenders and another, goalkeeper Ivan Kelava, is sure to play a key role.
Victory only kept two Isuzu Ute A-League Men clean sheets last season, a record the Club will be eager to improve ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Tony Popovic has bolstered his defensive options with some familiar faces, to both Victory fans and the Head Coach.
