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!

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

    Lyon was magnificent, rested in the last Quarter

    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.

    • 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?
