Oh what memories.

The famous names.

 

What a fwd line up luxury.

I remember the day Jakovich retired Mid Season with great sadness. 
with him, Lyon and a Young Ox we were a Serious chance that year, but not to be…

    My favourite Dees team.
    Full of stars and cult favourites that unfortunately ran into a brick wall in the West Coast Eagles 94 team; fielding possibly the best backlines ever.

    Thanks, Deever. Nice.

    Also, what a team. of not too many stars.

    Don't want to jinx us (I certainly don't think we'll fall to the Eagles in a Perth final!...) but, next year then, it could be 'Demon Spirited Attack'?

    Was a fantastic year 1994!

    I have watched "The Demon Attack" many times over the years.

    Could of won the flag if we hadn't run into a juggernaut West Coast Eagles side.

    Jakovich, Lyon, Schwartz, Neitz, Charles, Lovell, Lovett, Viney, White, Pike, Tingay... we just couldn't stay healthy.

    Yep. Similar to running into the Dons in 2000. Those sides don't come along that often. I will say if you look at the list we had it was probably good enough to beat the Eagles. We had significant injuries and some patches of unexplained poor form.  There are some excerpts of great plays in this vid. Charles goal is one of them.

    I forget how good Lyon was at times and boy we could have killed it with a Jakovich type this year. It was funny when Jakovich played against his brother, much like Gus and his. No love lost on the footy ground.

    That was definitely a fun season of footy highlighted by 2 memorable MCG finals wins over the highly fancied Carlton and 13 goal thumping over the Dogs. Our forward line was so potent on its good days.

    However we were too inconsistent that year. Started like a house on fire at 5-0, but then somehow ended up losing 8 of their next 10 games with one of them being to Sydney who hadn't won a game at the MCG since 1991. We were then forced to play "elimination finals" for the rest of the H&A season going 4-2 in the last 6 games and ended up nudging out Richmond by percentage.

    We did the complete opposite in 1995 losing our first 6 games, winning 9 of our next 11 and then losing our last 5.

    We were too inconsistent under Balme in his first 3 years (1993-1995) and then injuries and in house politics in 1996 and 1997 cruelled he and the team as he was sacked in round 9 1997.

    And Hawthorn in 1988.

    Yep. It makes our last two years harder to fathom as both cats last year and pies were beatable with our best team all firing. Gotta bring it home in 24, no ifs and or buts. As much as I've always cried to just see only one flag , it's only given me a desire for more. Plus being able to see one in person would be so much better. I do believe in flag windows and and think depending on what we do about our fwd line deficiencies, we have a couple more years. Players like Salem, May, Gawn and Viney won't be the same in three years.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
