Believe this list was the best goal to goal line up, as usual the injury curse severely impacted this group from winning a flag... 

Stynes, Lyon , Shcwarz, Neitz, Jackovich, Tingay, Pike, Lovett, Prymke, Lovell 

Goals 
Lyon 79

Schwarz 60

Jackovich 51

Pike 25

Charles 24

lovell  29

    1994 was another year that “could have been”. We had a great forward line. 
     

    Lyon Schwarz Lovell
    Pike Jakovich Charles

    Neita at CHB. Stynes in the ruck. Tingay in the wing.  

    Mids  Viney Obst G.Lovett Tingay Dyson Matt Febey  Steve Febey

    Our defence was pretty good too with Wight, Brett Lovett,  Hoppy, Yeats and Prymke as a first year player. 

    Why we didn’t win it? 
    1- we finished 7th.  After. 5-0 start, we ended 12-10

    2- Had to beat the Eagles at home in the preliminary final. They were powerful, at home and rested after a weeks break.

    Prymke’s injuries cost us big time. Very solid, under rated

    I agree, he was a super talent and would have made a difference over the following decade.  Degenerative back injury on memory.  A few year Slater we had Newton I think with a very similar injury.  Then Jako/Lyon, it was the decade of bad backs unfortunately :(

    The Eagles were an excellent team in 94 - very underrated when we talk about the great teams.  

    For as good as our forward line was, teams simply couldn’t get a look in against a backline of: Jakovich, Worsfold, McKenna, McIntosh and Brennan.

    Note that the weagles backline comprised local wa players who had been gifted to the weagles when they entered the league.

    We had recruited so well but still couldn't beat a gifted team.

    Those gifted wa players were given to them at the end of the 80’s when the club almost collapse after what was considered a failed start.  The wa public had expected to win the flag in their first year when they saw their starting squad.  They special draft set them up for a decade, plus a decent AFL coach in Malthouse, who modernised their footy thinking from the original coach in terms of preparation and structures.  Interesting what might have happened if the pies didn’t lose the game when they had it under control in the first week.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
