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.

    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.

    • 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.
