MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Melbourne City coach Patrick Kisnorbo has demanded the A-League champions improve across the board for their title defence as Australia's top flight prepares for kick-off under a new broadcaster after years of stagnation.

City will start their campaign against Brisbane Roar on Friday at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium where they celebrated their first championship in June with an emphatic 3-1 win over league heavyweights Sydney FC.
