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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
