As Melbourne Victory prepares for another Westfield W-League campaign, we take a look at how important a good start is.
With only a 12-game regular season, making a decent opening to the campaign has proven important.
We examine how Victory has started all of its seasons, and where it ended up at the conclusion of each campaign.
Victory begins its 2018/19 season against Adelaide United at AAMI Park on October 28.
