Got to love those hard leads, soft hands and long straight kicks.

What is amazing is that only a couple of those marks were contested, he was just getting that much separation.

    So many great players in that line-up.

    A good key forward that can kick multiple goals is worth his weight in gold. Every goal that they kick is worth double because they demand the ball and become a focal point that bring others into the game.

    Todd Viney's 2 left foot passes lace out were superb to Lyon in the 94 Prelim  they were his best 2 passes that he made in his footy career. He wasn't the best at kicks however he was hard as nails just like Jack.

    Tingay,  Martin Pike,  Lovell, Brett Lovett,  Shcwarz  Lyon, .Stynes,   Neitz The Febey's Todd Viney some of the players that were playing in the 94 Preliminary Final. All fine player that would get a game in now days.

    One of my favourite footy memories being at that game. 
    He would have got 13 if he played the last quarter. 

    the  best demons team I’ve seen.

    10 in 3 qtrs!! oppo wasn't at their best,  but he and the team made them look silly. He was lovely footballer to watch, he would be a perfect footballer in 2020.

    That era we could have been anything. Stars everywhere you looked, so many good players running through the midfield - Lovett x 2, Stinga, Obst, Viney, The Febeys and Jimmy. Lyon and The Ox up forward.

    They really sucked me in to loving this club.

    first time seeing this. Apart from the goals the delivery to Lyons was very good. If only we could provide that kind of service to our forwards today!

  • Quote

    Was a great game to be at, until the Ox knocked himself out

    Lyon was magnificent, rested in the last Quarter 

  • Quote

    I did Sarge n you beat me to it!?

    Yep, so many players, weren't there! Jacko gave my kids a twinkle of interest but Stinga finally sold them on the Dees. They've regretted it pretty much ever since, mind you...?

    It was a good team in 94' but disagree with those saying we should have won the flag that year. We were wildly inconsistent after the first 5 weeks of the season and only came 7th after the Ox booted 9 in the final round. We even lost to the Swans mid season at the G when they were on some sort of an all time losing streak! Though we played some great footy in the finals.

    98 is the year that got away from us IMO. White at Stynes combo in the ruck, forward line of Lyon, Neitz, Schwarz, Farmer and Shaun Smith in the reserves. Shanahan and Ingerson holding down the key back spots with a midfield of Viney, Tingay, Yze, Leonceli, Rigoni and young guns coming through like Woewodin, Robbo, Johnstone, McDonald and Brown. Then started the finals by belting the previous years Grand Finalists by 50 points each in consecutive weeks.

    That's the one that got away from us!

    Yeah I agree with this 98 for sure was the one that got away.
    In 94 the Eagles were the best side that year by far.

    Yep. 1994 - the best team I've seen too. If only.... Makes me cry to look at the talent and know we got beaten by the WA State of Origin team. 

    And we forget too easily the brilliance and leadership of Garry Lyon.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
